A new study suggests a single fiber-optic cable could help detect moonquakes with thousands of sensing points across the lunar surface.

ETH Zurich researchers have developed a chip that cryptographically signs sensor data at the point of capture to fight deepfakes.

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated the Hong–Ou–Mandel (HOM) effect with up to 12 indistinguishable neutral atoms—an effect that has been predominantly observed in photonic systems.

Manufacturing's next giant leap isn't another robot; it's the factory itself

A new study published in Nature Physics reports the first direct experimental evidence of a Floquet topological state, a novel light-induced phase of matter that, until now, has existed only on paper and in simulations. Topological insulators can conduct electricity along their surface while remaining insulating throughout their bulk. Physicists have spent years developing Floquet engineering, a technique that uses intense, rapidly oscillating light fields to temporarily reshape a material's electronic structure.

A new study in Nature Communications has established a link between the Riemann Hypothesis and dynamical phase transitions in engineered quantum systems, demonstrating the effect on a quantum processor.

Machines can now print tissues, layer by layer, using "inks" made of living cells. This bioprinting technology brings lab-grown organs closer to reality.

In a new Nature Physics study, researchers accelerated electrons to more than twice the energy predicted by the traditional dephasing limit for laser-plasma accelerators operating over the same distance. This was made possible by a specially engineered laser pulse called a flying focus, which counteracts a longstanding limitation known as "dephasing."

A quantum network won't move data any faster. However, it will make eavesdropping physically detectable, keeping data safe.
