Quantum computers process information using quantum bits, or qubits, based on fragile, short-lived quantum mechanical states.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91 were the first to use neutron reflectometry to peer inside a working solid-state battery and monitor its electrochemistry.
To solve a long-standing puzzle about how long a neutron can “live” outside an atomic nucleus, physicists entertained a wild but testable theory positing the existence of a right-handed version of our left-handed universe.
