MARATHON experiment offers most precise measurement of nucleon structure yet
Nucleons, which include protons and neutrons, are the composite particles that make up atomic nuclei. While these particles have been widely studied in the past, their internal structure has not yet been fully elucidated.

Not to be confused with Alexander Graham Bell, who came up with the idea of people yelling “Can you hear me now?”

Scientists produce quantum entanglement-like results without entangled particles in new experiment
In the everyday world that humans experience, objects behave in a predictable way, explained by classical physics. One of the important aspects of classical physics is that nothing, not even information, can travel faster than the speed of light. However, in the 1930s, scientists discovered that very small particles abide by some very different rules. One of the most mind-boggling behaviors exhibited by these particles is quantum entanglement—which Albert Einstein famously called "spooky acti…

High-fidelity entangling gates connect remote superconducting quantum processors
Quantum computers hold the potential of solving some optimization and data processing problems that cannot be tackled by classical computers. Many of the most promising quantum computing platforms developed so far are based on superconducting qubits, tiny circuits based on superconducting materials.

Tiny engine runs hotter than the sun to probe the frontiers of thermodynamics
Scientists have created the world's hottest engine running at temperatures hotter than those reached in the sun's core. The team from King's College London and collaborators believe their platform could provide an unparalleled understanding of the laws of thermodynamics on a small scale, and provide the foundation for a new, efficient way to compute how proteins fold—the subject of last year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
