Beyond the High-Speed Hard Drive: Topological Insulators Open a Path to Room-Temperature Spintronics
May 15, 2012 Theorists and experimenters have explored the unique properties of topological insulators, where electrons may flow on the surface without resistance, with spin orientations and directions intimately ... > full story -
Electron Politics: Physicists Probe Organization at the Quantum Level
April 25, 2012 "Quantum critical points" (QCP) in exotic electronic materials can act much like polarizing "hot button issues" in an election. On either side of the QCP, electrons fall into line and behave as ... > full story -
New Kind of Quantum Junction
April 18, 2012 A new type of quantum bit called a "phase-slip qubit" has enabled the world's first-ever experimental demonstration of coherent quantum phase slip. The groundbreaking result sheds light on an elusive ... > full story -
Physicists Observe the Splitting of an Electron Inside a Solid
April 18, 2012 An electron has been observed to decay into two separate parts, each carrying a particular property of the electron: a spinon carrying its spin -- the property making the electron behave as a tiny ... > full story -
High-Resolution Atomic Imaging of Specimens in Liquid by TEM Using Graphene Liquid Cell
April 9, 2012 Scientists have developed a technology that enables engineers to observe processes occurring in liquid media on the smallest possible scale which is less than a ... > full storyMore: -
Faster, Cheaper Way Found to Cool Electronic Devices
April 9, 2012 Researchers have developed a more efficient, less expensive way of cooling electronic devices – particularly devices that generate a lot of heat, such as lasers and power ... > full story -
Quantum Computer Built Inside a Diamond
April 4, 2012 A team of scientists has built a quantum computer in a diamond, the first of its kind to include protection against "decoherence" -- noise that prevents the computer from functioning ... > full story -
Nanoscale Magnetic Media Diagnostics by Rippling Spin Waves
April 3, 2012 A new tool can help magnetic memory device designers detect defects in magnetic structures as small as a tenth of a micrometer even if the region in question is buried inside a multilayer electronic ... > full story -
Quantum Information Motion Control Is Now Improved
April 3, 2012 Physicists have recently devised a new method for handling the effect of the interplay between vibrations and electrons on electronic transport. This study could have implications for quantum ... > full story -
Graphene Membranes: First Controllable Use of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy on Freestanding Graphene
April 2, 2012 Physicists have developed a technique that allows them to control the mechanical property, or strain, on freestanding graphene. By controlling the strain, they also can control other properties of ... > full story
