A member of an important class of ion channel proteins can transiently rearrange itself into a larger structure with dramatically altered properties, according to a new study. The discovery is a ...

Highly dilute metal ions can aggregate in a high-temperature ionic-liquid medium and form long-lived clusters. The unexpected finding, which is the result of a study that combines experiment and ...

Caught in a trap: the nanophotonic cavity used to create the ytterbium ion qubit. (Courtesy: Faraon lab/Caltech) Ions trapped nanoscale optical cavities could be used to distribute entangled quantum ...
