A quantum photonic device can perform some real-world tasks more efficiently than classical computers.

A new kind of 3D optical lattice traps atoms using focused laser spots replicated in multiple planes and could eventually serve as a quantum computing platform.

Ultrafast laser pulses drive spin alignment that strengthens a titanate crystal’s magnetism and extends it to higher temperatures.

A new model describes the range of forces and torques that light in a fiber can impart on dielectric particles nearby, even in the absence of helical light polarization.  

High-energy collisions result in the formation of clusters of neutrons and protons inside atomic nuclei and in the emission of energetic ions.

Materials that stretch on demand often bend in undesired directions, but a new theoretical model can produce stress-free designs that change shape without buckling.

By examining the mechanical and geometric properties of curly hair, Michelle Gaines creates a classification system that could help consumers find optimal hair-care products.

Calculations motivated by the successful prediction of the nickelate phase diagram suggest that palladates might hit the sweet spot for high-temperature superconductivity.

Researchers propose a way to relieve the material requirements needed to realize topological quantum computers.

The mass-and-spring-like behavior of a water droplet helps explain its ability to seal the leaky pipe from where it came.
