Novel devices that can be rapidly swapped between two quantum states are needed to provide scalability in quantum computers, sensors, and networks.

This year, the winners in physiology or medicine, physics and chemistry all share one important distinction: important foundational time spent at UC, a cradle of inventiveness, experimentation and learning.

Although the consequences of climate change may not always be visible to us, they are still invading the boundaries of our personal and professional lives by hindering our peace and mental well-being.

A promising new method for breaking down plastic would finally allow us to do something useful with hard-to-recycle waste.

Coastal urban centers around the world are urgently looking for new, sustainable water sources as their local supplies become less reliable. In the U.

A new method breaks down the notoriously hard-to-recycle plastic bags to make new, higher-value stuff with the waste.

John F. Clauser and the late Stuart Freedman carried out the first experiment to show the ‘weirdness’ of quantum physics.

Polyethylene plastics — in particular, the ubiquitous plastic bag that blights the landscape — are notoriously hard to recycle. They’re sturdy and difficult to break down, and if they’re recycled ...

Nevada university recently got an experimental facility for analyzing earthquake impact on structural system and surrounding soil interaction.

A renewable-energy plant in Oregon that combines solar power, wind power and huge batteries to store the energy generated there was commissioned last week as the first utility-scale plant of its kind in North America.
