Imagine detecting a single trillionth of a gram of a molecule—like an amino acid—using just electricity and a chip smaller than your fingernail. That’s the power of a new quantum-enabled biosensor ...

Transmission electron microscope image and film stack of a magnetic tunnel junction with a multilayered ferromagnetic structure. Interfacial anisotropy is enhanced by increasing the number of ...

In 1986, American physicist Arthur Ashkin developed a fascinating tool that could gently pick and move microscopic objects ...

For the first time ever, scientists have watched electrons perform a bizarre quantum feat: tunneling through atomic barriers by not just slipping through, but doubling back and slamming into the ...

A chemical reaction is a bit like traveling from Vienna to Venice: your destination might be downhill, but to get there, you’ll need to cross the Alps. You can think of the energy changes molecules ...

A deep neural network was trained using quantum tunneling to mimic the human ability to view optical illusions. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

Hall et al. [Phys. Rev. X 4 (2014) 041013] recently proposed that quantum theory can be understood as the continuum limit of a deterministic theory in which there is a large, but finite, number of ...
