Just as flight simulators can offer a trainee pilot insight into what it might be like to fly an aeroplane in real life, quantum simulators help physicists to understand the complex quantum behaviour ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 286, No. 1404 (May 25, 1965), pp. 79-97 (19 pages) A method is propounded for describing the state of ...

An electron has been observed to decay into two separate parts, each carrying a particular property of the electron: a spinon carrying its spin -- the property making the electron behave as a tiny ...

In work that unmasks some of the magic behind memristors and 'resistive random access memory,' or RRAM -- cutting-edge computer components that combine logic and memory functions -- researchers have ...

One of the biggest issues facing the solid-state lithium-based batteries we all depend upon is of the performance of the anode; the transport of lithium ions and minimization of dendrite formation are ...

When we think of particles, we tend to think of them as real objects – tiny, point-like entities with definite properties such as position or speed. But particles are really just energetic spikes in ...

One of the biggest mysteries in physics is why there's matter in the universe at all. This week, a group of physicists at the world's largest atom smasher, the Large Hadron Collider, might be closer ...
