Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not settle into an ordered pattern and continue to fluctuate, even at extremely ...

Scientists at the University of Maryland have successfully demonstrated the control of the nuclear ...

Physicist John Nichol uses equipment such as a dilution refrigerator to study quantum systems. He recently provided the first direct evidence of a quantum state called the nuclear-spin dark state, a ...

The green laser excites charge carriers in the NV centres, which are then captured by surface states. The scanning tip moves over the surface and measures a potential difference around a NV centre.

At temperatures approaching absolute zero, most magnetic materials settle into tidy patterns. Their tiny magnetic moments, or spins, align in one of two ways: all pointing in the same direction in ...

A single photon goes in. Roughly 1.3 usable energy carriers come out. That is the result reported in May 2026 by a team at ...

Scientists are closer to creating a quantum spin liquid, a state where electron spins stay dynamic even at near absolute zero, key for future quantum computing. (Nanowerk News) The future of computing ...

Solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) offer a route for efficient energy conversion and storage by converting renewable electricity into storable chemical fuels through high-temperature carbon ...

Diamonds with certain optically active defects can be used as highly sensitive sensors or qubits for quantum computers, where the quantum information is stored in the electron spin state of these ...
