Discovery of pair density wave state in a two-dimensional high-Tc iron-based superconductor
Figure 1 (a) An STM topographic image of the domain wall structure (bright line) in 1-UC Fe(Te,Se)/STO. (b) The schematic of the domain wall in 1-UC Fe(Te,Se)/STO, illustrating the compression…
Researchers make a quantum computing leap with a magnetic twist
This artistic depiction shows electron fractionalization—in which strongly interacting charges can “fractionalize” into three parts—in the fractional quantum anomalous Hall phase. Credit: Eric Anderson/University of Washington Quantum computing could revolutionize…
Electron tunneling associated with ferritin in vivo in the retina, the cochlea, macrophages and other tissues
Evidence of electron tunneling in neural tissue containing ferritin. Credit: Chris Rourk Electron tunneling associated with ferritin was proposed as early as 1988, but it is still viewed skeptically despite…
Researchers use light to make spins more efficient, easier to manipulate
“With light we can now optically address spins, which so far one could only learn about using magnetic measurements,” said Sascha Feldmann from the Rowland Institute. Credit: Kris Snibbe/Harvard Staff…
New Driver for Shapes of Small Quark-Gluon Plasma Drops?
Newswise — UPTON, NY—New measurements of how particles flow from collisions of different types of particles at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have provided new insights into the origin…
Headlines involving the fascinating (and perilous) world of oceanography and marine biology can be viewed on the Marine Science channel
The recent tragic loss of the Titan submersible in the depths of the North Atlantic has brought the fascinating (and very dangerous) world of Oceanography and Marine Science to the…
Novel ‘toggle-switch’ could lead to more versatile quantum processors with clearer outputs
This photo shows the central working region of the device. In the lower section, the three large rectangles (light blue) represent the two quantum bits, or qubits, at right and…
