You reach for the microwave meal, and think, if only I didn’t have to wait that three-and-a-half minutes, 900 watts just isn’t enough power. What you need is a laser microwave, and as luck ...

The system creates a maser, the microwave equivalent of a laser. It is used to amplify weak microwave and radio signals. Amplifiers are very useful and not just for music concerts. With the right ...

Now, a team of physicists from Washington University in St. Louis have created a new type of time crystal called a ...

In the effort to build superconducting quantum computers, researchers around the world are working to develop electrical circuits that operate in the microwave domain using individual particles of ...

Yet, in a dazzling experiment, a group of physicists has done just that. They’ve created a new kind of temporal structure called a “discrete time quasicrystal” (DTQC), where the rhythms of quantum ...

WashU physicists shine a microwave laser into a chunk of diamond to create a time quasicrystal, a new phase of matter that repeats precise patterns in time and space. Credit: WashU In a new and ...

Quantum computers use special bits called qubits, which are often made from microwave photons—tiny particles of microwave ...

Princeton University researchers have built a rice grain-sized microwave laser. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert!

By zapping a tiny diamond with a microwave laser, the scientists knocked out carbon atoms to allow electrons to move into the empty spaces and have quantum interactions that would form quasicrystals.
