A new study suggests that crystal defects in diamond may hold the key to scalable quantum interconnects. Connecting large numbers of quantum bits (qubits) into a working technology remains one of the ...

In groundbreaking materials research, a team led by University of Minnesota Professor K. Andre Mkhoyan has made a discovery that blends the best of two sought-after qualities for touchscreens and ...

(Nanowerk News) Monolayer crystals, often being referred as 2D crystals or 2D materials, possess the unique characteristic of having a single layer of regular atomic structure. And the more regular ...

Using two-photon excitation, Japanese scientists have, for the first time, observed the internal defects of semiconductor crystals in three-dimensions. Having studied defects to a depth of 200 µm in ...

Scientists at UChicago PME develop a new atomic-scale data storage method Their approach uses crystal defects to store data as ones and zeroes Research combines quantum science, optical storage, and ...

Flocks of birds, schools of fish and swarms of insects are all examples of “active matter” – systems of particles that move on their own without recourse to external forces. Scientists have long ...
