EPFL researchers have developed a method to calibrate electron spectrometers with extreme accuracy by linking microwave, ...

What occurs when electrons escape from a solid material? Though it may appear straightforward, this process has long resisted accurate theoretical explanation, until now. Researchers have finally ...

Topological insulators could form the basis for revolutionary electronic components. However, as they generally only function ...

Researchers have created a topological insulator that keeps its quantum properties stable even at higher temperatures, ...

Researchers have directly observed torsional Alfvén waves twisting through the Sun’s corona — magnetic waves first predicted ...

If you picture an electron breaking free from a solid, the process seems simple. Give it enough energy, and it should blast ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John Martinis built an electrical circuit-based oscillator on a microchip.

When Jamie Gull graduated from Stanford University in 2007 with a master’s degree in aeronautics, there was one place he wanted to go next: the desert. The Mojave Desert, to be specific. A company ...

Extremely cold atoms have been nudged to self-magnify their quantum states so they can be imaged in unprecedented detail. This could help researchers better understand what quantum particles do in odd ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...
