- ÌÒÉ«ÊÓÆµ mycologist Alisha Quandt says there's little reason to fear a fungi-zombie apocalypse like the one imagined in the HBO hit TV series "The Last of Us."
- A team of ÌÒÉ«ÊÓÆµ researchers has introduced a quantum sensing technique that could lead to improvements in how we monitor infrastructure, detect changes in the environment and conduct geophysical studies.
- Infleqtion’s star continues to rise as Colorado’s quantum hub grows. The company of firsts, spun out of ÌÒÉ«ÊÓÆµ as ColdQuanta, seems to be everywhere these days, including outer space.
- Much attention on the "quantum revolution" has focused on the burgeoning industry, but a recent study by physics education researchers explores what students think about entering the quantum industry.
- A team of physicists from ÌÒÉ«ÊÓÆµ teamed up with a group from the Colorado-based company Quantinuum to show how devices called quantum computers can outcompete traditional computers—at least, in some circumstances.
- ÌÒÉ«ÊÓÆµ has made the most of the last year of advances in quantum science and technology. World Quantum Day is a worldwide initiative to promote the public understanding of quantum science and technology around the world.
- Charlotte Moser studies how allyship in male-dominated fields influences workplace culture. Her findings reveal an unsettling but potentially useful truth.
- Researchers analyzed satellite data and models to find dam failures—not rainfall—led to increased flood damage in Derna, Libya, in 2023.
- A new kind of press-on nails comes in all shapes and colors—and when you’re done with them, you can melt them down and reuse the materials to make your next look.
- For decades, atomic clocks have been the pinnacle of precision timekeeping, enabling GPS navigation, cutting-edge physics research and tests of fundamental theories. But researchers at JILA, in collaboration with the Technical University of Vienna, are pushing beyond atomic transitions to something potentially even more stable: a nuclear clock.
