Spintronics are devices that operate leveraging the spin, an intrinsic form of angular momentum, of electrons. The ability to ...

Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in multiple states at once.

Abstract: This paper describes our experiences teaching experimental nanoscale science and technology to undergraduate students at the University of Cincinnati for the first time. The ...

Quantum computing used to sound like something out of science fiction, but now we’re seeing more engineers and researchers working to make it part of everyday tech. The real trick? Merging the extreme ...

Superfluids such as liquid helium behave in ways that challenge conventional ideas about liquids, flowing without viscosity while still interacting with dissolved molecules. A newly developed optical ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a stringent test of quantum mechanics. Matter wave in the spotlight: The image ...

A major leap in measurement technology begins with a tiny gap of just 32 nanometers. This is the distance between a movable aluminum membrane and a fixed electrode, together forming an extremely ...
