New quantum sensors can withstand extreme pressure

by quasarn01 | Sep 12, 2025 | Latest in Physics

The world of quantum physics is already mysterious, but what happens when that strange realm of subatomic particles is put under immense pressure? Observing quantum effects under pressure has proven difficult for a simple reason: Designing sensors that can withstand...

Atomic-level engineering enables new alloys that won’t break in extreme cold

by quasarn01 | Sep 12, 2025 | Latest in Physics

Navigating the extreme cold of deep space or handling super-chilled liquid fuels here on Earth requires materials that won’t break. Most metals become brittle and fracture at such low temperatures. However, new research is pioneering an approach to build metal...

Planets without plate tectonics and too little carbon dioxide could mean that technological alien life is rare
