Particle accelerators are devices that use electromagnetic fields to speed up particles and collide them together or against a specific target. These devices are widely used by physicists to study particles, the forces that drive […]

Research in fundamental science has revealed the existence of quark-gluon plasma (QGP)—a newly identified state of matter—as the constituent of the early universe. Known to have existed a microsecond after the Big Bang, the QGP, […]

Quantum dots are semiconductor particles measuring just a few nanometers across, which are now widely studied for their intriguing electrical and optical properties. Through new research published in The European Physical Journal B, Kobra Hasanirokh […]

Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill used chiral phonons to convert wasted heat into spin information—without needing magnetic materials. The finding could lead to new classes […]

Imagine going for an MRI scan of your knee. This scan measures the density of water molecules present in your knee, at a resolution of about one cubic millimeter—which is great for determining whether, for […]

A team led by Professor Andrea Morello at UNSW Sydney has just demonstrated the operation of a new type of quantum bit, called “flip-flop” qubit, which combines the exquisite quantum properties of single atoms with […]

Bound electron-hole pairs, or excitons, are the workhorses in layered transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors. Like the negative and positive charge carriers from which it forms, the exciton exhibits great mobility that ultrafast transient diffusion is […]

The University of Tennessee’s physicists have led a scientific team that found silicon—a mainstay of the soon-to-be trillion-dollar electronics industry—can host a novel form of superconductivity that could bring rapidly emerging quantum technologies closer to […]

Can quantum optics be used for practical applications? A lot depends on whether a large number of photons can be gathered in quantum state. Click to rate this post! [Total: 0 Average: 0]You have already […]
