Quantum emitters work by releasing single photons, individual packets of light, on demand. This ability is critical because ...

A 40-atom gold nanocluster breaks from gold's signature dense packing, forming square atomic planes with a central channel that accelerates electron relaxation about 80x.

Researchers have used equipment originally intended for astronomy observation to capture transformations in the nuclear structure of atomic nuclei, reports a new study. A group of researchers have ...

Researchers have uncovered an interface layer that may affect the performance of certain superconducting qubits.
