Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have reported a result that could help magnetic spins contribute to quantum information processing. The work points to a one-way transfer from spin waves to a superconducting circuit.
Yale researchers say networks of flowing water and other fluids can retain traces of their past, potentially aiding robots and studies of simple organisms. Their findings were published in Physical Review X.
Scientists developed a material that can grow and coordinate its movement so the entire structure pulses in unison. The work could support versatile robots that behave more like living systems.
Researchers are studying how to control coupled structural and electronic phase transitions in materials. Such control could create built-in memory, a feature relevant to brain-like computing technologies.
A test for quantum networks checks entanglement without relying on trusted detectors. Such networks connect users or devices through quantum mechanics and could improve communications security.
Researchers from Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the University of Regensburg used ultrashort laser pulses to measure Berry curvature in a one-atom-thick layer of tungsten diselenide. Their findings appeared in Nature Photonics.
Magnetic skyrmions are viewed as potential information carriers for low-power memories and logic circuits. Researchers have sought practical ways to control their movement precisely.
Researchers developed a computational model that accounts for how ageing affects the ability to distinguish colours. It could inform lighting designs that help older adults perceive colours while preserving their expected appearance for people with typical colour vision.
The source frames meditation as a process in which repeated returns to the breath can ease mental effort while awareness stays clear. It asks whether this experience could reveal an SU(3) symmetry shared by the observer and the universe.
Physicists have pursued a practical two-dimensional topological insulator for decades. The ultrathin material would block electricity inside while allowing it to flow along its edges with little energy loss.
A PPPL researcher developed a faster method to identify diamond-based materials for quantum computers and sensors. The work was recently published in ACS Central Science and has drawn attention from other researchers.
Researchers fashioned a layered topological material into a scanning tunneling microscope tip to detect spin-related electronic states at atomic resolution.
