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

Researchers at The University of Manchester’s National Graphene Institute have shown that electrons in ultra-clean graphene can be steered with high precision while keeping their spin information intact, a key requirement for future low power electronics and quantum devices.

Electrons can arrange into crystalline patterns that accumulate defects as they melt; controlling the degree of melting may advance superconductors and artificial neurons

Theorists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign address an experimental paradox by developing a general theory uniting a kind of order known as electronic nematicity with a crystal’s elasticity.

Researchers at the University of Alicante (UA) have developed a highly precise method for measuring distances at the nanometre scale at room temperature, opening up new avenues in molecular electronics research.

Relaxor ferroelectrics have been used in electronics and sensors for decades, but the source of their unique properties was a mystery until now.
