Condensed Matter & Superconductors

3+ hour, 38+ min ago   (230+ words) Bringing measurements across time, space and spectrum together is revealing the hidden dynamics of innovative optoelectronic devices and novel semiconductor materials However, these spectra alone can be misleading. Materials with substantially different microscopic properties can generate similar steady-state PL results,…...

7+ hour, 56+ min ago   (372+ words) The resulting effective Hamiltonian describes the bonding band, where the interaction becomes attractive under specific conditions, ultimately leading to the observed superconducting phase. This robustness is supported by evidence that the values at which superconductivity appears are similar to those…...

14+ hour, 39+ min ago   (295+ words) Researchers used a specially designed cavity to strengthen quantum vacuum fluctuations and enhance superconductivity in a thin material. Empty space is not truly empty. Even a vacuum contains restless quantum fluctuations, and researchers have now shown for the first time…...

20+ hour, 57+ min ago   (305+ words) A research team at the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has used scanning nitrogen-vacancy microscopy and vector magnetic field reconstruction to demonstrate at the nanoscale that zigzag graphene nanoribbons embedded in hexagonal boron nitride…...

21+ hour, 35+ min ago   (408+ words) Ted Laurence, Tammy Ma and Sam Schrauth have been named senior members of Optica, while Oscar Herrera has been elected a senior member of SPIE. Oscar Herrera, group lead for the Lasers & Metrology Process Engineering Group within the National Ignition…...

1+ day, 3+ hour ago   (777+ words) The Quant possesses over two decades of experience in start-up ventures and financial arenas, brings a unique and insightful perspective to the quantum computing sector. This extensive background combines the agility and innovation typical of start-up environments with the rigor…...

1+ day, 3+ hour ago   (343+ words) Vacuum fluctuations can enhance superconductivity in a bulk material. This is the new finding from researchers in China and the US who have put forward the concept of “vacuumtronics”. This is a new way to tune superconductivity without chemically altering…...

1+ day, 14+ hour ago   (503+ words) Researchers built a 1-inch-square semiconductor that can be programmed, erased and reprogrammed with light. Researchers at Princeton University developed a thin semiconductor that can be programmed, erased and reprogrammed using different wavelengths of light. Unlike conventional semiconductors, whose electrical properties…...

2+ day, 6+ hour ago   (243+ words) The approach addresses a fabrication problem that becomes particularly important with superconductors. Conventional wet and dry etching can introduce rough Superconductors Can Now Be Patterned Without Etching What if you could build microscopic patterns without carving the material? Researchers have…...
