Researchers show an old law still holds for quirky quantum materials
Newswise — Long before researchers discovered the electron and its role in generating electrical current, they knew about electricity and were exploring its potential. One thing they learned early on…
Researchers show an old law still holds for quirky quantum materials
An illustration shows strongly interacting electrons carrying heat and charge from warmer to cooler regions of a quantum material. A theoretical study by SLAC, Stanford and the University of Illinois…
These nesting penguins nod off 10,000 times a day, for seconds at a tim
Nesting chinstrap penguins take nodding off to the extreme. The birds briefly dip into a slumber many thousands of times per day, sleeping for only seconds at a time. The…
Researchers invent new way to stretch diamond for better quantum bits
By “stretching” thin films of diamond, researchers have created quantum bits that can operate with significantly reduced equipment and expense. Credit: Peter Allen A future quantum network may become less…
