July 30, 2020 —The electron is an elementary particle, a building block on which other systems evolve. With specific properties such as spin, or angular momentum, that can be manipulated to carry information, ...
June 9, 2021 —The movement of electrons can have a significantly greater influence on spintronic effects than previously assumed. Until now, a calculation of these effects took, above all, the spin of electrons ...
Jan. 19, 2021 —One-dimensional quantum 'nanowires' - which have length, but no width or height - provide a unique environment for the formation and detection of a quasiparticle known as a Majorana zero ...
July 14, 2022 —As our devices become smaller, faster, more energy efficient, and capable of holding larger amounts of data, spintronics may continue that trajectory. Whereas electronics is based on the flow of ...
Jan. 30, 2023 —Researchers have developed a new method for manipulating information in quantum systems by controlling the spin of electrons in silicon quantum dots. The results provide a promising new mechanism for ...
Aug. 12, 2020 —Researchers have developed a new concept that uses the electron spin to switch an electrical current. In addition to fundamental research, such spin valves are also the key elements in spintronics -- ...
Nov. 30, 2022 —If one particle accelerator alone is not enough to achieve the desired result, why not combine two accelerators? Physicists have now implemented this idea. They combined two plasma-based acceleration ...
Aug. 15, 2022 —By using photons and electron spin qubits to control nuclear spins in a two-dimensional material, researchers have opened a new frontier in quantum science and technology, enabling applications like ...
Oct. 25, 2022 —Scientists have created a Bose-Einstein condensate out of excitons -- quasiparticles that combine electrons and positively charged 'holes' -- in a semiconductor. Quasiparticle Bose-Einstein ...
Aug. 18, 2022 —When some materials are cooled to a certain temperature, they lose electric resistance, becoming ...
