A look into cloudy liquids: New method makes the expansion of turbid drops in water visible
When driving though a bank of fog, car headlights are only of limited help as the light is scattered by the water particles suspended in the air. The situation is similar when you try to observe the inside of a drop of milk in water or the internal structure of an opal gem with the help of white...
New benchmark helps solve the hardest quantum problems
From subatomic particles to complex molecules, quantum systems hold the key to understanding how the universe works. But there's a catch: when you try to model these systems, that complexity quickly spirals out of control—just imagine trying to predict the behavior of a massive crowd of people where...
Magnetic octupoles help overcome problems with antiferromagnets
Physicists at RIKEN have demonstrated how ultrafast, low-power-consumption memory devices could be realized by replacing conventional magnetic materials with novel ones....
Insulator-to-metal transition achieved in iridate/manganate heterostructures
A research team has successfully achieved an atomically controlled insulator-to-metal transition in iridate/manganate heterostructures. Their findings were recently published in Nature Communications....
Novel superconducting flux qubit can operate without being surrounded by a magnetic field
A team of computer engineers from the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, NTT Corporation and Nagoya University have developed what they claim is the world's first superconducting flux qubit that can operate without the need for a surrounding magnetic field....
Quantum research breakthrough uses synthetic dimensions to efficiently process quantum information
A new study opens the door to cutting-edge solutions that could contribute to the realization of a system capable of processing quantum information in a simple yet powerful way....
Quantum scaling recipe: ARQUIN provides framework for simulating distributed quantum computing system
One of the most difficult problems with quantum computing relates to increasing the size of the quantum computer. Researchers globally are seeking to solve this "challenge of scale."...
Physicists report emergence of ferromagnetism at onset of Kondo breakdown in moiré bilayer lattices
Moiré superlattices are materials consisting of two layers stacked on top of each other with either a small rotational misalignment or a lattice mismatch between them. The Kondo lattice model, on the other hand, describes systems in which conduction electrons interact with localized magnetic...
China's underground lab seeks answer to deep scientific riddle
Far beneath the lush landscape of southern China, a sprawling subterranean laboratory aims to be the world's first to crack a deep scientific enigma....
