For those who dream of building a base on the moon, a major engineering challenge is figuring out how to move rovers, ice, and other cargo across treacherous terrain and out of steep, jagged lunar craters. Caltech students are behind a project called LATTICE (for Lunar Architecture for Tree Traversal in-service-of Cable Exploration). The LATTICE team is designing a self-deploying modular robotic system for transporting ice and other assets in and out of those craters. The system, which would wor

Ilaria Caiazzo, a postdoctoral scholar research associate with Caltech Astronomy, explains how her team used the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) at Palomar Observatory and W.M. Keck Observatory to discover a very unusual "two-faced" white dwarf – one side is all helium and the other side, hydrogen.

Caltech physicists have created the largest qubit array ever assembled: 6,100 neutral-atom qubits trapped in a grid by lasers. This milestone comes amid a rapidly growing race to scale up quantum computers. There are several approaches in development, including those based on superconducting circuits, trapped ions, and neutral atoms, as used in the new study. “This is an exciting moment for neutral-atom quantum computing,” says Manuel Endres, professor of physics at Caltech. “We can now see a pa
