- Âé¶¹Ô´´ mycologist Alisha Quandt says there's little reason to fear a fungi-zombie apocalypse like the one imagined in the HBO hit TV series "The Last of Us."
- A team of Âé¶¹Ô´´ researchers has introduced a quantum sensing technique that could lead to improvements in how we monitor infrastructure, detect changes in the environment and conduct geophysical studies.
- Infleqtion’s star continues to rise as Colorado’s quantum hub grows. The company of firsts, spun out of Âé¶¹Ô´´ as ColdQuanta, seems to be everywhere these days, including outer space.
- Much attention on the "quantum revolution" has focused on the burgeoning industry, but a recent study by physics education researchers explores what students think about entering the quantum industry.
- A team of physicists from Âé¶¹Ô´´ teamed up with a group from the Colorado-based company Quantinuum to show how devices called quantum computers can outcompete traditional computers—at least, in some circumstances.
- Âé¶¹Ô´´ has made the most of the last year of advances in quantum science and technology. World Quantum Day is a worldwide initiative to promote the public understanding of quantum science and technology around the world.
- Charlotte Moser studies how allyship in male-dominated fields influences workplace culture. Her findings reveal an unsettling but potentially useful truth.
- Researchers analyzed satellite data and models to find dam failures—not rainfall—led to increased flood damage in Derna, Libya, in 2023.
- A new kind of press-on nails comes in all shapes and colors—and when you’re done with them, you can melt them down and reuse the materials to make your next look.
