Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly incompatible views of how exotic particles behave inside quantum matter. In some cases, an impurity moves through a sea of particles and forms a...

Researchers from India's CSIR-Central Scientific Instruments Organization have reported a systematic study on the role of graphene-based interfacial engineering in flexible all-inorganic perovskite solar cells. The team incorporated reduced graphene oxide (rGO)...

Quantum computers struggle because their qubits are incredibly easy to disrupt, especially during calculations. A new experiment shows how to perform quantum operations while continuously fixing errors, rather than pausing protection to compute. The team used a...

Researchers from Columbia University, Brown University, University of Texas at Austin and the National Institute for Materials Science have observed a unique quantum phase transition in bilayer graphene, where an excitonic superfluid abruptly becomes an insulator,...

Researchers have built a paper-thin chip that converts infrared light into visible light and directs it precisely, all without mechanical motion. The design overcomes a long-standing efficiency-versus-control problem in light-shaping materials. This opens the door...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its endless, frictionless flow—freeze into a strange new state that...

The Australian Economic Accelerator Ignite program has granted funding to seven Queensland University of Technology (QUT) research teams, totaling in more than AU$2.7 million (around US$1.9 million). The projects are part of a AU$725 million national investment to...
