Short circuits are relatively common, but they can be dangerous and a warning sign of a possible electrical hazard, so it's important to know what short circuits are and how to prevent them in your ...

The topic of electricity often poses difficulties for many secondary school students in physics lessons. Researchers have now developed and empirically evaluated a new, intuitive curriculum as part of ...

Quantum mechanics describes the weird behavior of microscopic particles. Using quantum systems to perform computation ...

There are high hopes for the next generation of high energy-density lithium metal batteries, but before they can be used in our vehicles, there are crucial problems to solve. An international research ...

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics honors a trio whose 1980s experiments made quantum circuits—and today’s quantum ...

Typical superconducting quantum circuits, such as qubits—basic processing units of a quantum computer, must be operated at very low temperatures, of a few 10s of millikelvin, or hundredths of a degree ...

The trio were honored for their discovery of macroscopic quantum tunneling and energy quantization in an electrical circuit.
