Rice University researchers and collaborators have found that ultrathin, strained ruthenium dioxide exhibits spin textures consistent with altermagnetism, a newly recognized class of magnetism. Lattice strain induces the magnetic state absent in the bulk form, offering a potential control mechanism for spintronic devices and next-generation RAM architectures. Published in Science Advances.

Researchers at OIST and Hiroshima University have shown that a small magnetic field switches the graphene-like quantum material CeTe₃ between competing electronic patterns — striped and checkerboard. Scanning tunneling microscopy revealed the transformation near absolute zero, driven by electronic frustration coupled to magnetism. The findings, published in Nature Communications, offer a new strategy for controlling collective electronic states in quantum materials with poten

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have achieved precise electrical control of molecular spins on surfaces, marking a significant advance for quantum technologies. Using electron spin resonance combined with scanning tunneling microscopy on iron phthalocyanine molecules, the team demonstrated effective spin-electric coupling via applied voltage. This approach replaces conventional magnetic fields, enabling faster and more localized manipulation of quan

Researchers created an "electron lighthouse" using two lasers to steer electron beams in semiconductors without electricity. This quantum interference breakthrough could transform sensing, telecom & optoelectronics.

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) have developed a technique for interrogating molecules on surfaces with spectroscopic precision and thereby reaching the ultimate quantum limit for the first time. With their findings, published in Science, the researchers open new opportunities for the study of molecule-surface interactions and molecular quantum technologies.

Researchers at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), in collaboration with the University of Minnesota and Kyung Hee University, have discovered a powerful new way to control tiny quantum light sources by twisting atomically thin layers of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). In a study published in Science Advances, the team demonstrated that by stacking and twisting hBN layers, they could significantly shift the color and wavelength of quantum emitters. This twistable platfo
