- Physicists Break Distance Record For Electron Spin-State Transmission in Spin qubits 12/12/2019 For quantum computers to be feasible, quantum error correction is necessary to protect the information in qubit arrays even if individual qubits become corrupted. Its implementation requires that multiple qubits can interact with one another.
- Exciton Condensation Breaks New Temperature Record 08/10/2019 New Cornell-led research is pointing the way toward an elusive goal of physicists—high-temperature superfluidity—by exploring excitons in atomically thin semiconductors.
- Single-Nanowires Make Powerful Spectrometers 04/10/2019 Simplest possible spectrometer.
- Hydrogen Storage Gets Real 02/09/2019 As production costs fall and demand is poised to rocket, James Mitchell Crow finds the hydrogen economy is finally ready for take-off – as long as we can find ways to store it.
- Quantum Physicists Have Successfully Teleported A Qutrit For The Very First Time 01/09/2019 Quantum teleportation has been a term related to qubits for the longest time and recently, researchers have successfully teleported ‘qutrits’.
- Self-Threading Monomer Provides Protection For Carbon Nanotubes 30/08/2019 Strategy assembles three-component nanostructure with nanoscale precision
- Tunnel Barrier Disappears In A Topological Superconducting State 30/08/2019 Researchers have seen Klein tunnelling – a rare relativistic phenomenon in which a tunnel barrier disappears – in a topological superconducting state for the first time. The result sheds more light on a previously overlooked aspect of topological superconductivity and could even help in the development of a new family of spintronic and superconducting devices, they say.
- Supersolidity Appears In Ultracold Atoms 29/08/2019 A supersolid is a paradoxical form of matter – it flows without friction (like a superfluid) but its particles are arranged in a crystalline lattice (like a solid).
- Three-Atom-Thick Optical Waveguide Is The Thinnest Ever 28/08/2019 Researchers have succeeded in making the thinnest ever optical device in the form of a waveguide just three atomic layers thick. The device could lead to the development of higher density optoelectronic chips.
- Electricity-Free Cooling Material System Shows Potential 27/08/2019 To meet global demand for cooling sustainably, researchers at the University at Buffalo have developed a device that could cool buildings without electricity.
- Carbon Nanotube 16-bit Microprocessor Takes Computing Beyond Silicon 26/08/2019 Carbon nanotubes have been touted as a potential successor to silicon technology that could improve energy efficiencies by an order of magnitude.
