Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have now discovered another interesting property in diamonds with added boron, known as boron-doped diamonds. Their findings could pave the way for new types of biomedical and quantum optical devices—faster, more efficient, and capable of processing information in ways that classical technologies cannot. Their results are published recently in Nature Communications.

A team of physicists led by The City College of New York’s Lia Krusin-Elbaum has developed a novel technique that uses hydrogen cations (H+) to manipulate relativistic electronic bandstructures in a magnetic Weyl semimetal -- a topological material where electrons mimic massless particles called Weyl fermions. These particles are distinguished by their chirality or “handedness” linked to their spin and momentum.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have recently achieved a significant breakthrough in the development of next-generation carbon-based quantum materials, opening new horizons for advancements in quantum electronics.

The University of Birmingham is collaborating with Paragraf Ltd, a UK-based company pioneering the mass production of graphene-based electronics, with funding awards to accelerate the scaling up of the production of graphene on six-inch wafers and explore the potential of graphene sensors for quantum computing.

Scientists including an Oregon State University chemistry researcher have taken a key step toward next-generation optical computing and memory with the discovery of luminescent nanocrystals that can be quickly toggled from light to dark and back again.

In a new study, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics under the lead of Timon Hilker demonstrated evidence of stripe formation, i.e. extended structures in the density pattern, in a cold-atom Fermi-Hubbard system. By using a quantum gas microscope and a special mixed-dimensional geometry, they were able to observe unique higher-order correlations in spin and charge densities related to those seen in some high-temperature superconducting materials. These findings, which shed light on a key phenomenon in condensed matter physics, suggest that individual stripe structures could form at higher temperatures than the much-debated stripe phase. This experiment represents a major step forward in using quantum simulators to explore the most fundamental properties of materials. The work is published this week in Nature.

Experiments show that applied voltage can dramatically alter the magnetic properties of quantum materials.
