Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, in collaboration with Stanford and Purdue, have demonstrated a powerful new way to control heat at the nanoscale. Using carefully engineered metamaterials — microscopic gold patterns on thin membranes — they achieved up to four times more heat transfer across a tiny gap compared to conventional setups.

A new method for precisely moving columns of individual atoms within a material could give rise to exotic quantum properties

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.
