MIT physicists have discovered a new quantum bit, or “qubit,” in the form of vibrating pairs of atoms known as fermions. They found that when pairs of fermions are chilled and trapped in an optical ...

(Nanowerk News) Atoms or molecules constitute everything around us. In many solids, like common salt or iron, they are neatly arranged as repeated structures, called 'crystal lattices'. The behaviour ...

Symmetry is one of the most fundamental principles in nature. It describes the rules that make an object look unchanged after ...

Researchers have discovered they can detect atomic 'breathing,' or the mechanical vibration between two layers of atoms, by observing the type of light those atoms emitted when stimulated by a laser.

Twisted 2D bilayers show angle dependent atomic vibrations, revealing how misalignment affects heat flow and aiding design of heat resistant electronics. (Nanowerk News) Twisted 2D material bilayers, ...

Probing the vibration of atoms provides detailed information on local structure and bonding that define material properties. Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) offers extremely high resolution to ...

Physicists have discovered a new quantum bit, or 'qubit,' in the form of vibrating pairs of atoms known as fermions. The new qubit appears to be extremely robust, able to maintain superposition ...
