First direct imaging of tiny noble gas clusters at room temperature
Xenon nanocluster between two graphene layers, with sizes between two and ten atoms. Credit: Manuel Längle For the first time, a research team has succeeded in stabilizing and directly imaging…
Generating stable qubits at room temperature
Incorporating a chromophore in a metal-organic framework suppressed the molecular motion sufficiently to maintain the quantum coherence of the quintet state for more than 100 nanoseconds. Credit: Nobuhiro Yanai A…
Research offers insights into the metal-to-insulator transition without breaking symmetry
Credit: Yale University Metal-to-insulator transition—a process that turns materials from a conductor to an insulator—has been a crucial process behind microelectronic switches, nonvolatile memory, and neuromorphic computing materials. In many…
In novel quantum computer design, qubits use magnets to selectively communicate
Researchers have demonstrated that qubits (represented by the spheres and arrows) can “talk” to each other through a magnet (represented by the rectangular solid) rather than through air. This technology…
Quantum particles retain intrinsic features
Newswise — The quantum Cheshire cat effect draws its name from the fictional Cheshire Cat in the Alice in Wonderland story. That cat was able to disappear, leaving only its grin behind.…
NASA’s Webb Finds Signs of Possible Aurorae on Isolated Brown Dwarf
Newswise — Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found a brown dwarf (an object more massive than Jupiter but smaller than a star) with infrared emission from methane,…
