Phosphorus is found in everything from matches to fertilizer—and may be critical to starting the spark of life and keeping it going. Scientists studying the origin of life in the universe often focus ...

phosphorus is part of living architecture =AD it is in the phospholipids that make up cell walls and in the bones of vertebrates. “In terms of mass, phosphorus is the fifth most important biologic ...

In order to scale quantum computers, more qubits must be added and interconnected. However, prior attempts to do this have resulted in a loss of connection quality, or fidelity. But, a new study ...

Chemists have devised a new chemical reaction that allows them to synthesize a phosphorus-containing ring, using a catalyst to add phosphorus to simple organic compounds called alkenes. MIT chemists ...

A high-performance silicon-based quantum processor has been developed in which the spins of nine phosphorus nuclei — divided into two groups, or registers — and two shared electrons act as quantum ...

Researcher Matthew Fisher is leading the $1.2 million QuBrain project to see if the human brain utilizes any quantum computing. Fisher asserts that nuclear spins (at the core of the atom, rather than ...

Muon spin rotation (µSR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique that helps to study the behavior of materials at the atomic level. It involves using muons—subatomic particles similar to protons but with ...

Carbon, with its myriad compounds, is the backbone of life and the central element of organic chemistry. The number of bonds a carbon atom forms with other elements in a compound determines its ...

May 11 (UPI) --Scientists have developed a new method for constructing single-atom transistors, an essential component of the next generation of super-fast, ultra-powerful computers. Using the new ...

To forge carbon-carbon bonds between two aryl groups, chemists typically turn to metal-catalyzed cross-couplings—powerful transformations that garnered their inventors the 2010 Nobel Prize in ...

Right now, electric vehicles are limited by the range that their batteries allow. That’s because recharging the vehicles, even under ideal situations, can’t be done as quickly as refueling an internal ...

The unique Australian approach of creating quantum bits from precisely positioned individual atoms in silicon is reaping major rewards, with UNSW Sydney-led scientists showing for the first time that ...
