In the same way as gravity brings a body to a halt on the floor of a valley, the nuclear force (which binds protons and neutrons to form the atomic nucleus) and the electrical force (which combines ...

Ever shrinking: a study of the interface between silicon and silicon dioxide could lead to smaller transistors. (Courtesy: iStock/Quardia) Two researchers in China have shown how unwanted quantum ...

For the description and observation of quantum mechanical tunnelling, a double-well-type potential, where two localized spatial modes are separated by a barrier, is among the conceptually simplest set ...
