On a December day, Richard Feynman gave a fun little lecture at Caltech — and dreamed up an entirely new field of physics. During the talk, entitled "Plenty of room at the bottom," he described the ...

Resounding questions still echo through L.A. after the Eaton fire tore through Altadena last winter, devastating the community and destroying homes and businesses: how safe is the soil? How safe is ...

Join Caltech on campus for a free lecture and Q&A about the historical and current dangers of lead contamination. In 1965, Caltech geochemist Clair Patterson published what was, at the time, a highly ...

ABSTRACT: Perceived reality is an illusion. We exist in a universal quantum geometrical system that operates because of consciousness, not in isolation from it. Consciousness is not a byproduct of ...

Why This Is Important: The reason this is such a game-changer is that most robots are one-trick ponies. A walking robot gets stuck if it needs to cross water. Why Should I Care: This isn’t just about ...

Caltech has built the world’s largest neutral-atom qubit array—6,100 qubits—pushing quantum computers closer to error correction and full-scale computation ...

Add Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Caltech trapped 6,100 cesium atoms as qubits, the largest neutral-atom quantum system to date. Qubits stayed coherent for 13 ...

Caltech scientists have built a record-breaking array of 6,100 neutral-atom qubits, a critical step toward powerful error-corrected quantum computers. The qubits maintained long-lasting superposition ...

A Pasadena home where Caltech students once climbed a steep flight of steps for weekly economics seminars with their professor is on the market for $1.68 million. Completed in 1935, this one-level ...
