He’s turned a monkey into a waiter and made sculptures out of bees — for his next trick, Pierre Huyghe is entering the ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering postdoctoral researcher Hong Qiao is the first author of a new paper demonstrating deterministic phase control of the mechanical vibrations known as ...

Researchers have developed an ultra-thin drumhead-like membrane that lets sound signals, or phonons, travel through it with astonishingly low loss, better than even electronic circuits. These ...

While many plans for quantum computers transmit data using the particles of light known as photons, researchers from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) ...

Paris-based quantum computing startup Alice & Bob has announced a stunning breakthrough in quantum computing: its qubits can now resist bit-flip errors for more than an hour. That’s four times longer ...
