Oct 15, 2025 Researchers evaluated quantum materials' potential for scalable commercial success - and identified promising candidates. (Nanowerk News) People tend to think of quantum materials — whose properties arise from quantum mechanical effects — as exotic curiosities. But some quantum materials have become a ubiquitous part of our computer...
Can we hear gravitational-wave ‘beats’ in the rhythm of pulsars?
Oct 15, 2025 A new paper outlines a method to distinguish between sources of nanohertz gravitational waves. (Nanowerk News) Pulsars suggest that ultra–low-frequency gravitational waves are rippling through the cosmos. The signal seen by international pulsar timing array collaborations in 2023 could come from a stochastic gravitational-wave background—the sum of...
