Tiny, cheap solution for quantum-secure encryption

Microchips with tiny clocks may hold key to future of computing security. It’s fairly reasonable to assume that an encrypted email can’t be seen by prying eyes. That’s because in…

Targeting a human protein may stop Ebola virus in its tracks

To treat Ebola virus infections, researchers are taking a close look at a key piece of the virus: polymerase Polymerase is a viral protein that directs how Ebola virus replicates…

NASA’s Roman mission will test competing cosmic acceleration theories

A team of scientists has predicted the science return from one of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s groundbreaking planned surveys, which will analyze millions of galaxies strewn across space…

Stimulating the sense of touch with chemistry

Our eyes may be windows on the world, but our fingertips put us in touch with it. To recreate this tactile sense, current technology relies on tiny motors and electricity….

Attosecond pulses: 100 times more

Attosecond laser pulses in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) are a unique tool enabling the observation and control of electron dynamics in atoms, molecules, and solids. Most attosecond laser sources operate…

New world record for qubit storage
