“Energy is eternal delight.” –William Blake Snuggling with her parents and brother while watching one of her favorite TV programs, Nicole Yunger Halpern was only 10 when she got her first taste of punk. She didn’t start listening to the Sex Pistols

Researchers have demonstrated that a strange type of quantum particle called the anyon, believed to exist in only two dimensions, can also be created in one dimension. Further studies exploring different types of one-dimensional anyons could bring

The 2025 MBE & QIF Summit event is returning to MxD (Manufacturing x Digital) headquarters in Chicago, IL, April 15 – 17, 2025. The 2025 event will bring the growing pains of collaborating in a decentralized environment to light. Experts will share

It’s hard enough to track the interactions of even a handful of quantum particles, but physicist Alexey Gorshkov has taken on an even more daunting task. He analyzes the complex choreography of thousands of atoms, photons, ions, and other denizens of

In recent years, numerous Internet routing incidents — such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) prefix hijacking, and route leaks — have caused data to be delivered to unintended destinations, to divert paths across the Internet to pass through

Measurement science and standards are needed to support the safe and predictable operation of future automated vehicles (AVs), and to realize their potential to significantly impact our daily lives and improve competitiveness and well-being in our
