Abstract: Superconducting quantum circuits constitute one of the most advanced and promising platforms for building fault-tolerant quantum computers. However, the associated relatively short coherence ...

A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole with a "dark charge." If true, this theory could lead to a definitive catalog ...

I peeked in on the house-sized particle detector known as STAR just after it took its last-ever snapshot of one of the most extreme types of fireball ever created. Inside, the conditions just after ...

Cosmic rays are extremely fast, charged particles that travel through space at nearly the speed of light. The Amaterasu particle was detected in 2021 by the Telescope Array experiment in the U.S. It ...

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

Scientists at Fermilab’s MicroBooNE experiment have ruled out the existence of the elusive sterile neutrino, a particle proposed for decades to explain puzzling neutrino behavior. Their high-precision ...

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, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) paradox describes how quantum theory cannot be described by local realistic descriptions. A ...

Mass is what gives particles weight and makes matter behave the way it does. Today’s best theory says particles get their mass from the Higgs field, an invisible feature of space that has been ...

The Beibu Gulf, a representative semi-enclosed bay in the South China Sea, experiences microplastic transport and dispersion governed by a complex interplay of monsoons, ocean circulation, and extreme ...
