Recently, researchers from Pohang University of Science and Technology in South Korea and the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan collaborated successfully to control the quantum mechanical properties of Andreev bound states in bilayer graphene-based Josephson junctions using gate voltage. In this study, the research team used gate voltage to control the quadratic energy dispersion of bilayer graphene as well as the superconducting coherence length in real-time.

Recently, scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States have devised a novel way to extend the operating range of microcombs to shorter near-infrared wavelengths. This method allows scientists to independently tailor the microcomb’s central wavelength as well as the intensity and separation of the frequencies it generates. The central wavelength of this NIR light is 1064 nm, which means it enables microcombs to be used in tandem with one of the most common and inexpensive lasers.
