Fantastic Flash Memory Combines Graphene and Molybdenite
March 19, 2013 Scientists have combined two materials with advantageous electronic properties -- graphene and molybdenite -- into a flash memory prototype that is very promising in terms of performance, size, ... > full story -
Causing Collapse: Can One Affect an Atom's Spin Just by Adjusting the Way It Is Measured?
March 18, 2013 One of the most basic laws of quantum mechanics is that a system can be in more than one state -- it can exist in multiple realities -- at once. This phenomenon, known as the superposition principle, ... > full story -
Magnets Are Chaotic -- And Fast -- At the Very Smallest Scale
March 18, 2013 Using a new type of camera that makes extremely fast snapshots with an extremely high resolution, it is now possible to observe the behavior of magnetic materials at the nanoscale. This behavior is ... > full story -
New Microscope Measures Nanomagnet Property Vital to 'Spintronics'
March 15, 2013 Researchers have developed a new microscope able to view and measure an important but elusive property of the nanoscale magnets used in an advanced, experimental form of digital memory. The new ... > full story -
Smallest Vibration Sensor in the Quantum World
March 15, 2013 Carbon nanotubes and magnetic molecules are considered building blocks of future nanoelectronic systems. Their electric and mechanical properties play an important role. Researchers have now found a ... > full story -
Nanoscale Spinning Magnetic Droplets Created
March 14, 2013 Researchers have successfully created a magnetic soliton -- a nano-sized, spinning droplet that was first theorized 35 years ... > full story -
New Results Indicate That Particle Discovered at CERN Is a Higgs Boson
March 14, 2013 Scientists working with CERN's Large Hadron Collider have presented preliminary new results that further elucidate the particle discovered last year. Having analyzed two and a half times more data ... > full storyMore: -
Surprising Control Over Photoelectrons from a Topological Insulator
March 13, 2013 Electrons flowing swiftly across the surface of topological insulators (TIs) are "spin polarized," their spin and momentum locked. The potential to control electron distribution in spintronic devices ... > full story -
Quantum Magnets Moving Along: Scientists Observes Coherent Propagation of a Single Spin Impurity in a Chain of Ultracold Atoms
March 13, 2013 Many discoveries in physics came as a big surprise -- for example the phenomenon, that some materials loose almost all their electrical resistance at low temperatures, or that others become ... > full story -
Connecting the (Quantum) Dots: First Viable High-Speed Quantum Computer Moves Closer
February 26, 2013 Scientists have developed a new method that better preserves the units necessary to power lightning-fast electronics, known as qubits. Hole spins, rather than electron spins, can keep quantum bits in ... > full story
