Quantum computer research is advancing at a rapid pace. Today's devices, however, still have significant limitations: For example, the length of a quantum computation is severely limited—that is, the ...

Key TakeawaysDigital twins are ultra-accurate computer-based simulations of complex physical systems used for exploring "what ...

Keeping high-power particle accelerators at peak performance requires advanced and precise control systems. For example, the primary research machine at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas ...

A physicist has mounted one of the most detailed technical challenges yet against the idea that our universe is a computer ...

A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...

Muons tend to scatter more from high-atomic-number materials, so the technique is particularly sensitive to the presence of materials such as uranium. As a result, it has been used to create systems ...

The field of particle physics is approaching a critical horizon defined by challenges including unprecedented data volumes and detector complexity. Upcoming ...

AI-accelerated simulation can help solve South Africa’s biggest challenges, writes DEAN WOLSON, GM of the infrastructure solutions group at Lenovo Africa.

Top quark data may encode quantum magic, but the closer scientists look, the more selection, modeling, and proof matter every ...

As the climate crisis intensifies, interest in solar engineering is increasing, including among private companies and investors. But the technique is controversial and lacks regulation.As global ...

Iridium oxide is one of the most important—and most problematic—materials in the global push toward clean energy. It is currently the most reliable catalyst used in the conversion of energy to ...
