In a leap forward for quantum computing, physicists unveiled an eight-qubit topological quantum processor, the first of its kind. The chip, built as a proof-of-concept for the scientists' design, ...

Physicists use mathematical assumptions in many situations that forbid time from moving backwards – but that isn’t ...

Plus: Stopping asteroids from hitting Earth, solving climate change with fertilizer and building strength by eating grapes.

The planet is tidally locked to its star, which means one side is always facing it and, for that reason, has a scorching ...

If an alien civilization has technology similar to ours, could it detect life on Earth? Answering this will help our own ...

A new study from the University of British Columbia reveals the growing danger of falling space debris striking an airplane.

and it's deployed nearly 80 externally available quantum systems, far more than any of its competitors. This includes 13 quantum computers with more than 100 qubits that are currently operational.

2 Quantum Encryption for Secure Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication It is critical for driverless vehicles to have a secure communication system, for the safety of passengers, other vehicles, and ...

Large, uncontrolled space junk reentering Earth's atmosphere has the increasing potential to disrupt air travel, if affected airspace is closed as a precaution, according to a new study by three ...

In quantum systems driven by a time-periodic field (in this case, the driver is short bursts of photons), quasi-stationary states, known as "Floquet states" can occur. These have properties that ...
