Apr 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Using the Advanced Light Source (ALS), researchers determined that interactions between electrons are what give rise to the divergent effects observed when graphene is doped with electrons versus holes (npj Quantum Materials, "Correlation-driven electron-hole asymmetry in graphene field effect devices"). A better understanding of this...

Apr 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) According to a paper published in Nature Communications ("Electrical manipulation of skyrmions in a chiral magnet"), researchers led by Prof. DU Haifeng from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with Prof. WANG Weiwei and Prof. SONG Dongsheng...

Apr 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) It is known that Albert Einstein constructed equations of general relativity by adopting Riemann geometry. In addition to the key role it played in mathematics and physics, Riemann geometry has provided predictions for the properties of curved carbon materials. However, synthesis of such complicated carbon...

Home > Press > Could quantum technology be New Mexico’s next economic boon? Quantum New Mexico Coalition aims to establish state as national hub Quantum technologies, like this quantum computer at Sandia National Laboratories, might be a source of future jobs in New Mexico’s tech sector.

Apr 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Semiconducting perovskites that exhibit superfluorescence at room temperature do so due to built-in thermal “shock absorbers” which protect dipoles within the material from thermal interference. A new study (Nature Photonics, "Room Temperature Superfluorescence in Hybrid Perovskites and Its Origins") from North Carolina State University explores...

Home > Press > Quantum ‘shock absorbers’ allow perovskite to exhibit superfluorescence at room temperature Image by Ella Maru Studio Abstract:Abstract:The formation of coherent macroscopic states and the manipulation of their entanglement using external stimuli is essential for emerging quantum applications1-3. However, the observation of collective quantum coherent phenomena such...
