While working on his doctoral thesis at Harvard University over the last few years, Omer Gottesman spent a lot of time at his desk crumpling sheets of paper, especially when he was stuck. He would ...

The connection between a crumpled sheet of paper and quantum technology: A research team at the EPFL in Lausanne (Switzerland) and the University of Konstanz (Germany) uses topology in microwave ...

University physicists Thomas Witten and Sidney Nagel have been investigating where energy is stored in thin sheets of Mylar when work is performed on them by crumpling. They find the ability of a ...

Take a look at that crumpled-up piece of litter on your desk, compressed by the laws of physics and tossed aside. It remembers what you did, even if no one else does. Crumpled paper is especially ...

Smaller, more versatile, and more powerful: a team of physicists from Lausanne and Konstanz has developed advanced quantum technology components in the form of novel coupled cavity arrays (CCAs). Made ...
