How quantum computers can aid the search for room-temperature superconductors

For the first time, a quantum computer has successfully measured pairing correlations (quantum signals that show electrons ...

Paradox of rotating turbulence finally tamed with 'hurricane-in-a-lab'

From stirring milk in your coffee to fearsome typhoon gales, rotating turbulent flows are everywhere. Yet, these spinning currents are as scientifically complex as they are banal. Describing, modeling ...
