Cooling Semiconductors by Laser Light
January 22, 2012 — Researchers have combined two fields -- quantum physics and nano physics -- and this has led to the discovery of a new method for laser cooling semiconductor membranes. Semiconductors are vital ... > full story -
Bucky Balls for Next-Generation Spintronics Devices
January 20, 2012 — The beauty of an electron’s spin is that it responds very rapidly to small magnetic fields. Such external magnetic fields can be used to reverse the direction of spin. In this way, information ... > full story -
Ten-Second Dance of Electrons Is Step Toward Exotic New Computers
January 17, 2012 — Scientists have achieved a 100-fold increase in the ability to maintain control the spins of electrons in a solid material, a key step in the development of ultrafast quantum ... > full story -
Quantum Uncertainty: Are You Certain, Mr. Heisenberg?
January 16, 2012 — Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle is arguably one of the most famous foundations of quantum physics. It says that not all properties of a quantum particle can be measured with unlimited accuracy. ... > full story -
Theory Explains How New Material Could Improve Electronic Shelf Life
January 9, 2012 — Engineers have discovered that the new material graphene conducts heat about 20 times faster than silicon, making it an option as a semiconductor material that could produce quieter and ... > full story -
Graphene Reveals Its Magnetic Personality
January 8, 2012 — Can organic matter behave like a fridge magnet? Scientists have now shown that it can. Researchers took nonmagnetic graphene and then either 'peppered' it with other nonmagnetic atoms like fluorine ... > full story -
'Nanowiggles:' Scientists Discover Graphene Nanomaterials With Tunable Functionality in Electronics
January 4, 2012 — Scientists have used supercomputers to uncover the properties of a promising form of graphene, known as graphene nanowiggles. What they found was that graphitic nanoribbons can be segmented into ... > full story -
Emerging New Properties at Oxide Interfaces
November 25, 2011 — Researchers discovered a collective electronic state not seen before in the bulk of either two individual insulating oxides, thus demonstrating that electrons at their interface can now exhibit ... > full story -
Unearthing a New Quantum State of Matter: Quantum Physics Discoveries Could Change Face of Technology
November 21, 2011 — Researchers have made advances in better understanding correlated quantum matter that could change technology as we know it, according to a new ... > full story -
Birth of Famous Black Hole: Longstanding Mysteries About Object Called Cygnus X-1 Unraveled
November 17, 2011 — A precise distance measurement by the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) allowed astronomers to accurately calculate the mass and spin of a famous black hole, thus providing a complete description of ... > full storyMore:
