The entry of quantum computers into society is currently hindered by their sensitivity to disturbances in the environment. Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, and Aalto ...

(Nanowerk News) A flash of light traps this material in an excited state indefinitely, and new experiments reveal how it happens. A dry material makes a great fire starter, and a soft material lends ...

Novel quantum material stabilized by magnetism, offering a path to more resilient quantum computers capable of handling real-world calculations. (Nanowerk News) The entry of quantum computers into ...

Take a lattice -- a flat section of a grid of uniform cells, like a window screen or a honeycomb -- and lay another, similar lattice above it. But instead of trying to line up the edges or the cells ...

Illustration of the material’s transition, with time represented from left to right. A laser pulse (left) sends the material into disorder (middle). Out of this so-called soup phase emerges a highly ...

Many quantum effects can only be produced at extremely cold temperatures, which limits how useful they would be in real-world settings. Now, researchers at Princeton have demonstrated a strange ...

Illustration of a new strategy to create materials with robust quantum properties, by harnessing magnetic interactions (represented by the red and blue arrows). The small green spheres represent sites ...

A dry material makes a great fire starter, and a soft material lends itself to a sweater. Batteries require materials that ...
