For all of the unparalleled, parallel-processing, still-indistinguishable-from-magic wizardry packed into the three pounds of the adult human brain, it obeys the same rule as the other living tissue it controls: Oxygen is a must. So it was…

True to Moore's Law, the number of transistors on a microchip has doubled every year since the 1960s. But this trajectory is predicted to soon plateau because silicon -- the backbone of modern transistors -- loses its electrical properties…

An intermediate layer consisting of a few atoms is helping to improve the transport of spin currents from one material to another. Until now, this process involves significant losses. A team from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg…

For quantum computers to surpass their classical counterparts in speed and capacity, their qubits -- which are superconducting circuits that can exist in an infinite combination of binary states -- need to be on the same wavelength.…
