Sensing and controlling microscopic spin density in materials

Electronic devices typically use the charge of electrons, but spin—their other degree of freedom—is starting to be exploited. Spin defects make crystalline materials highly useful for quantum-based devices such as ultrasensitive ...

New study uncover nuclear spin's impact on biological processes

A research team led by Prof. Yossi Paltiel at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem with groups from HUJI, Weizmann and IST Austria has published a new study that reveals the influence of nuclear spin on biological processes. ...

Discovering hidden order in disordered crystals

Researchers at Tokyo Tech have discovered hidden chemical order of the Mo and Nb atoms in disordered Ba7Nb4MoO20, by combining state-of-the-art techniques, including resonant X-ray diffraction and solid-state nuclear magnetic ...

Teasing strange matter from the ordinary

In a unique analysis of experimental data, nuclear physicists have made the first-ever observations of how lambda particles, so-called "strange matter," are produced by a specific process called semi-inclusive deep inelastic ...

New strategy developed for synthesis of copper nanoclusters

Due to exact atomic composition and crystal structure, atomically precise copper nanoclusters are used as model catalysts for catalytic reaction mechanisms study. However, the efficient synthesis of copper nanoclusters still ...
