Superpositions of quantum states known as Schrödinger cat states can be created in “hot” environments with temperatures up to 1.8 K, say researchers in Austria and Spain. By reducing the restrictions ...

THERYQ is developing a radiotherapy system that uses very high-energy electrons to treat deep-seated tumours, and can also enable FLASH treatments ...

Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) enable the flow of information between the brain and an external device such as a computer, smartphone or robotic limb. Applications range from use in augmented and ...

Femtosecond-long, petawatt-peak power beam could be used to probe previously inaccessible phenomena in materials science, ...

Superfluidity is a quantum mechanical effect that occurs at temperatures near absolute zero. As the temperatures of certain ...

In this environment, Mumpower’s team suggest that energetic photons in a jet collide with protons to create a neutron and a pion. Since these neutrons are have no electrical charge, many of them could ...
