A team of New York University researchers announced in early February 2026 that they had created “levitating” time crystals, ...

Magnetic fields thread through galaxies, stretch across cosmic voids, and shape the behavior of charged particles over millions of light-years. Yet their origin remains one of the most stubborn ...

In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...

A new study has revealed how tiny imperfections and vibrations inside a promising quantum material could be used to control ...

A team in China has demonstrated the simultaneous teleportation of multiple sideband qumodes in a continuous-variable system, overcoming a longstanding technical barrier.

A new study examined the mechanism governing the nonlinear Hall effect, paving the way for battery-free devices.

An unprecedently large quantum simulator could shed light on how exotic, potentially useful quantum materials work and help us optimise them in the future. Quantum computers may eventually harness ...

A wafer-thin flake of bismuth telluride can act a little like a one-way street for electricity, even when the push comes from an alternating signal. But the direction of that “street” is not fixed.

The day when quantum computers will be able to break conventional encryption is rapidly approaching, but not all companies are prepared to implement post-quantum cryptography. Quantum-safe encryption ...

Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity warps light in space. Once thought to exist only on paper, this effect has now ...

Northwestern will open Ryan Field, its new $862 million stadium, in prime time on Friday, Oct. 2, for the Wildcats' Big Ten home opener against Penn State. The new facility will debut exactly 100 ...
