PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- When I was younger, my twin brother made a book cover for his physics book. On that cover, he wrote "Book Of Magic" on it. Mike was sort of right. Physics and magic can go hand in ...

Researchers have demonstrated that the theoretically optimal scaling for magic state distillation—a critical bottleneck in ...

In nuclear physics, "magic numbers" identify specific numbers of protons or neutrons that lead to especially stable nuclei. Recognizing these numbers helps scientists better understand the structure ...

Superconductors are like the express trains in a metro system. Any electricity that "boards" a superconducting material can ...

Quantum computers have performed the full slate of tricks needed for robust computation. And it all came down to a little magic. In a pair of papers submitted June 17 at arXiv.org, researchers ...

MIT researchers uncovered clear evidence of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene.

SALT LAKE CITY — University of Utah professor Adam Beehler's workday included shrink-wrapping a student and levitating another with a leaf blower. The concepts he demonstrates are old, but the job ...

For the first time, scientists have created oxygen-28, a rare oxygen isotope that has 12 more neutrons than oxygen-16, the most common form of oxygen on the planet. This newly created "heavy" oxygen ...

When two sheets of carbon atoms are twisted to the “magic” angle of 1.1 degrees, many properties of their electrons abruptly change, and the material — known as magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene — ...

A new leak suggests Avowed could be a much bigger undertaking for Obsidian than we initially assumed. Avowed, the action RPG from Obsidian, was one of the surprise announcements at last week's Xbox ...

Remember the Na'vi – the blue-stripped humanoid species with pointy ears and a powerful bond with nature in last year's biggest sci-fi epic, "Avatar"? They were created in a physics lab. In fact, the ...
