As semiconductor devices become ever smaller, researchers are exploring two-dimensional (2D) materials for potential applications in transistors and optoelectronics. Controlling the flow of electricity and heat through these ...
A research group led by Prof. Wu Kaifeng from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences recently reported the successful initialization, coherent quantum-state control, and readout of spins ...
Recently, the team led by Prof. Zeng Changgan from the University of Sciences and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, collaborating with Li Xiaoguang's team from Shenzhen University, has enabled ...
Monash University researchers have demonstrated a new, counterintuitive way to protect atomically thin electronics—adding vibrations, to reduce vibrations.
Interactions between a spinning object and soundwaves could help develop high-precision tools, such as tweezers that control the motion and position of submillimeter objects by manipulating acoustic waves, a KAUST-led international ...
A team of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Material Science and Engineering researchers have solved a long-standing puzzle about lower measured thermal conductivity values of cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) bulk crystals ...
RIKEN physicists have fabricated a nanoscale "heat engine" that uses a property of electrons known as spin as the effective working medium. It is promising for exploring the development of spintronic heat engines capable ...
Squeezed states of the electromagnetic field find many important applications in quantum information science and quantum metrology. Dr. Jie Li et al. at Zhejiang University put forward a new mechanism for preparing microwave ...
Quantum memory devices can store data as quantum states instead of binary states, as classical computer memories do. While some existing quantum memory technologies have achieved highly promising results, several challenges ...
A team of German and Spanish researchers from Valencia, Münster, Augsburg, Berlin and Munich have succeeded in controlling individual light quanta to an extremely high degree of precision. In Nature Communications, the researchers ...
