Physicists move one step closer to topological quantum computing

A team of experimental physicists led by the University of Cologne have shown that it is possible to create superconducting effects in special materials known for their unique edge-only electrical properties. This discovery ...

Electron-bending effect could boost computer memory

A new magnetic material developed by RIKEN physicists could boost computer memory storage by enabling higher memory density and faster memory writing speeds. Their research has been published in the journal Nature Communications.

Hall effect uncovers hidden symmetry in spin-ice

Physicists from the University of Augsburg succeeded in distinguishing chiral orders with similar magnetization but an opposite sense of rotation through electrical measurements at low temperatures. This is relevant for fundamental ...

Quantum question about the anomalous Hall effect answered

A mysterious magnetic effect that causes the path that electrons take through a material to bend—called the anomalous Hall effect—has been elucidated in a new mathematical analysis by two RIKEN physicists. Their work ...
