Researchers at TMOS, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems, and their collaborators at RMIT University have developed a new 2D quantum sensing chip using hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) that can simultaneously detect temperature anomalies and magnetic field in any direction in a new, groundbreaking thin-film format.

Yale researchers, in collaboration with scientists from City University of New York, California Institute of Technology, Kansas State University and ETH Zurich, leveraged the unusual properties of phonon-polaritons, a type of quasiparticle, to discover a new way to dissipate the energy of high-speed electrons through the generation of long wavelength infrared light.

Newly published research in the journal Nature demonstrates a new way of generating long-wave infrared and terahertz waves, which is an important step toward creating materials that can help realize these technological advances. The work, led by researchers at the CUNY ASRC paves the way for cheaper, smaller long-wave infrared light sources and more efficient device cooling.

ICFO researchers, in an international collaboration, have used terahertz light to explore exotic phenomena within magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene. This approach reveals previously unseen behaviors and provides direct insights into the quantum geometry of electronic wavefunctions —the fundamental framework underlying these phenomena.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method that makes it easier to study interactions between electrons in a material. Using a moiré material consisting of twisted atomic layers they created an artificial crystal lattice in a neighbouring material.

In an article published this month in Applied Physics Express, a multi-institutional research team led by Osaka University announced that they have successfully synthesized an ultrathin vanadium dioxide film on a flexible substrate, in a way that preserves the film’s electrical properties.

Researchers at the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester have achieved a significant milestone in the field of quantum electronics with their latest study on spin injection to graphene. The paper, published recently in Communications Materials, outlines ground-breaking advancements in spintronics and quantum transport.

MIT physicists report the unexpected discovery of electrons forming crystalline structures in a material only billionths of a meter thick. The work adds to a gold mine of discoveries originating from the material, which the same team discovered about three years ago.

Physicists at MIT and Harvard University have now directly measured superfluid stiffness for the first time in “magic-angle” graphene — materials that are made from two or more atomically thin sheets of graphene twisted with respect to each other at just the right angle to enable a host of exceptional properties, including unconventional superconductivity.

A research group led by Prof. SHENG Zhigao from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently discovered the disappearance of nonreciprocal second harmonic generation (SHG) in MnPSe3 when integrated into a two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnetic MnPSe3/graphene heterojunction.
