Duke's 13-ion experiment completes a trio of string-breaking results across three quantum platforms. Here is what it proves and what it does not.

A new Duke Quantum Center study shows how quantum simulators can help researchers explore particle formation and the conditions that followed the Big Bang.

Strike a bell, and it rings with a pitch and a fading that tell you about the bell: its size, its shape, the metal it is made of. Black holes ring too. When two merge, the newborn black hole shivers ...

A brief look at string theory and the ideas behind this physics concept. Trump 'blew up' after Harp printed Wiles ouster reports in White House 3 gang members jumped a former Navy SEAL inside a jail ...

The origins of the coronavirus pandemic remain contested; the evidence is incomplete. But pundits, activists, and members of the Trump administration have long insisted that the case is closed, and ...

Using a “bootstrap” approach, researchers show that a small set of assumptions may naturally lead to a string-theory description of certain high-energy processes. Figure 1: “Pulling oneself up by the ...

Imagine spawning on an island with limited resources and nowhere in particular to go. Will you first make a boat to explore the oceans or spend time gathering resources to ensure your survival? That’s ...

Can you explain object-oriented programming to me like I'm 5 years old? Probably not. But here's a straightforward explanation of what OOP is ... Use Spring MVC MultipartFile, Java Path APIs and the ...

String theory attempts to unify general relativity and quantum theory. Popular in the 1990s, string theory fell out of favor as it failed to provide testable predictions and required ten dimensions ...

With just a handful of assumptions, string theory stands alone. Based on the idea that all subatomic particles are made up of vibrating strings of energy, string theory is a candidate for a “theory of ...

Landoni et al. examined mitochondria, across a range of mammalian cell types and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, using cutting-edge light and electron microscopy combined with live-cell and ...
