Researchers develop an innovative sound wave sensor to quickly and accurately detect elusive helium gas leaks, enhancing ...

A potential breakthrough from Japan may address one of the key obstacles facing this ...

A new sensor detects helium leaks by monitoring how sound waves propagate through a topological material – no chemical ...

Qubits can be made by floating a suspended electron over a pool of liquid helium rather than being embedded them a solid-state crystal — which leads to impurities and errors. When you purchase through ...

One intriguing method that could be used to form the qubits needed for quantum computers involves electrons hovering above ...

Scientists can now reliably chill specimens near absolute zero for over 10 hours while taking images resolved to the level of individual atoms with an electron microscope. The new capability comes ...

Yet even at this apparently late date in the field’s development, there are companies that are still developing entirely new qubit technologies, betting the company that they have identified something ...

Space-based probes are vital tools for enabling scientists to understand our planet and the wider Universe. For example, some satellites monitor the chemistry of the Earth’s atmosphere, while a ...

Helium is crucial to all kinds of technologies, including MRI scanners and semiconductors. But it’s produced in only a few places. MIT Technology Review is celebrating our 125th anniversary with an ...
