Tenjimbayashi and colleagues note that particle-coated droplets slipped off the substrate much more easily than did non-coated particles on a coated substrate. That’s because of differences between ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of chemical reactions to producing highly reliable weather forecasts. For now, ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that bizarre interactions between subatomic particles known as neutrinos could be explained by another type of neutrino. The ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists at MIT discovered a method to create a kind of particle accelerator using a molecule of radium monofluoride. Once excited by lasers in a ...

Scientists at TU Wien have uncovered that quantum correlations can stabilize time crystals—structures that oscillate in time without an external driver. Contrary to previous assumptions, quantum ...

Restart your Windows PC and then try using the MSINFO32.exe tool. This will kill all extra processes and reset any corrupt files or temporary settings that may be preventing the tool from running ...

Not only do you not need a VR headset to dive into VRChat, but the VRChat system requirements are also no great challenge for any modern gaming rig. Of course, if you own extra VR tracking gear, your ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. On a quiet pandemic afternoon in 2021, Zhiyuan Wang, then a graduate student at Rice University, was alleviating his boredom by working ...
