The latest study on an electron-on-neon qubit, invented at Argonne, shows its strong potential to scale quantum information processing.

With a carefully-designed experiment and a handful of tin atoms, University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s physicists have found a long-sought form of superconductivity, taking one more step toward creating custom quantum materials.

The new moiré materials also had the potential to be engineered to carry ferroelectricity and polarisation in many complex ways – both in the individual layers and chiral textures at nanoscale.

Using donor–acceptor chemistry to create ultra-thin ‘nanoribbons’ - just a few atoms wide - could help to shape new electronic materials.

2D materials are widely seen as a promising path toward better computer chips. Researchers at TU Wien now show: some of these materials are unsuitable due to an underestimated effect. But there are alternatives

Hair-width LEDs could replace lasers — and a UCSB doctoral student is helping make it happen
