The results now published pinpoint the spiral magnetic structure of these materials, finally establishing the common origin of its promising magnetic and electric properties up to room temperatures. The experiments were fully conducted at the ILL, using five instruments out of a state-of-the-art suite of over 40, and taking advantage of advanced sample environment technologies.

Is there a contradiction between quantum theory and thermodynamics? On the surface, yes - but at TU Wien, researchers have now shown how the two fit together perfectly.

Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a new thermometer using atoms boosted to such high energy levels that they are a thousand times larger than normal. By monitoring how these giant “Rydberg” atoms interact with heat in their environment, researchers can measure temperature with remarkable accuracy. The thermometer’s sensitivity could improve temperature measurements in fields ranging from quantum research to industrial manufacturing.

To promote the use of quantum sensors in industry, Fraunhofer IAF has developed a virtual application laboratory for quantum sensing. This innovative information platform provides comprehensive technical knowledge about quantum magnetometers, applications, and measurement scenarios. It also allows interested parties from industry and research to interactively perform sample measurements and assess the potential of this groundbreaking technology for their needs.

An international team of engineers and physicists have found a way to use quantum light to improve the performance of cutting-edge spectroscopy.

The future of tin-based qubits is brighter thanks to breakthrough work by Stanford University researchers supported through a quantum research center led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory.

To promote the sustainability of electromobility and enhance resource efficiency, upcycling of lithium-ion batteries is gaining increasing importance. Efforts are focused on slowing down material cycles by repurposing used batteries from electric vehicles for new applications instead of transferring them directly to recycling processes. Despite its real significant potential to conserve resources, upcycling has yet caught on due to technical and economic challenges. However, a team of researchers has developed a practical method that combines a high-speed measurement method and artificial intelligence (AI) to overcome these barriers.

AIST researchers have developed a technique to evaluate the electrical properties of radio-frequency (RF) substrate materials under cryogenic conditions. They have developed a technique to evaluate the electrical properties of substrate materials in cryogenic environments.

A research team led by Prof. PAN Jianwei, Prof. WAN Zhensheng and Prof. DENG Youjin from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences observed counterflow superfluidity in two-component Mott insulator for the first time. The study was published in Nature Physics.

PTB is one of the global leading institutions and has, up to now, developed an impressive series of different optical clocks – among which are single ion clocks and optical lattice clocks. Now, such high accuracy has also been demonstrated in a new type of clock, which has the potential to measure time and frequency 1000 times more accurately than the caesium clocks that currently realize the SI second. For this purpose, the new ion crystal clock was compared to other optical clocks and achieved a new accuracy record. The results of the measurement campaign have been published in the current issue of “Physical Review Letters”.
