Working at nanoscale dimensions, billionths of a meter in size, a team of scientists led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory revealed a new way to measure high-speed fluctuations in magnetic materials. Knowledge obtained by these new measurements, published in Nano Letters, could be used to advance technologies ranging from traditional computing to the emerging field of quantum computing.

Oxford Instruments NanoScience today introduces its low temperature, superconducting magnet measurement system for fundamental materials physics, TeslatronPT Plus. The system promises simpler access to high performance measurement capabilities, allowing users to spend more time on the measurement rather than the set-up, while gaining a flexible, scalable and secure system.

New quantum technologies developed by the Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA) are driving novel scientific discoveries in physics, giving scientists advanced tools to explore complex behaviors of interacting quantum particles and the physical properties of materials. QSA, a National Quantum Information Science Research Center led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, conducts research that fuels the development of quantum-enabled materials and technologies, leveraging quantum information science to accelerate the discovery and design of advanced materials for energy applications. QSA scientists from 15 different institutions are collaborating to advance materials physics and build the future of fundamental scientific discovery as the scientific community builds on powerful classical computers and enters the quantum realm for processing information better and faster.

UC Santa Barbara researchers are working to move cold atom quantum experiments and applications from the laboratory tabletop to chip-based systems, opening new possibilities for sensing, precision timekeeping, quantum computing and fundamental science measurements.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new computational approach to accurately model and predict these complex spin structures using quantum mechanics calculations.

A first-ever discovery of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in a two-magnon bound state has been achieved by a collaborative research team from Southern University of Science and Technology, Zhejiang University, Renmin University of China, and the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization.

Oxford Instruments today announces that Dr. Jeong Min (Jane) Park, a Schmidt Science Fellow in the Department of Physics at Princeton University, has been awarded the Lee Osheroff Richardson prize 2025.

Researchers at Tohoku University, the University of Manchester, and Osaka University have made a breakthrough that has the potential to ignite the development of next-gen chiral information technology.

Now, a series of experiments has clearly demonstrated that this instantaneous effect of neutron bombardment, known as the “beam on effect,” should not be an issue during reactor operation, thus clearing the path for projects such as the ARC fusion system being developed by MIT spinoff company Commonwealth Fusion Systems.

University of Arizona College of Engineering researchers Christos Gagatsos and Bane Vasic received two grants from the federal government to advance novel areas in quantum information. Gagatsos was awarded $1.4 million from the U.S. Army Research Office to investigate the application of quantum error correction in magnetic field sensing, and Vasic was awarded $600,000 from the National Science Foundation to stabilize quantum computing with error correction codes.
