Astronomers will use the Webb telescope to closely monitor the size and trajectory of an asteroid that has a slim chance of ...

Scientists have discovered a way to use single missing atoms in crystals as memory cells, packing terabytes of data into a ...

Researchers have explored a 'quantum-inspired' technique to make the 'ones' and 'zeroes' for classical computer memory applications out of crystal defects, each the size of an individual atom. This ...

The ability to store information has evolved from punch-card looms to modern smartphones. Every technological advancement has ...

University of Chicago researchers develop crystal storage technology that packs terabytes of data into millimeter-sized space ...

Data storage has always depended on systems that toggle between "on" and "off" states. However, the physical size of the components storing these binary states has ...

UChicago Pritzker Molecular Engineering researchers created a "quantum-inspired” revolution in microelectronics, storing classical computer memory in crystal gaps where atoms should be.

From punch card-operated looms in the 1800s to modern cellphones, if an object has an "on" and an "off" state, it can be used ...

The Government is focusing on expanding the extraction and refining capacity of rare earth elements (REEs) as it endeavours to create a robust supply chain for critical minerals and clean energy ...

Understanding where Earth's essential elements came from—and why some are missing—has long puzzled scientists. Now, a new study reveals a surprising twist in the story of our planet's formation.
