Scientists at OIST have, for the first time, directly tracked the elusive “dark excitons” inside atomically thin materials. These quantum particles could revolutionize information technology, as they are more stable and resistant to environmental interference than...

Researchers from Kiel University have reported a previously unknown effect in graphene. Dr. Jan-Philip Joost and Professor Michael Bonitz showed, for the first time, that light pulses can generate electrons at specific designated locations in the material. To...

Researchers from Purdue University, Vanderbilt University and University of Florida recently reported a graphene-based separator design that addresses critical limitations of lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. While Li–S batteries promise higher energy densities and...

Volatus Aerospace, a Canadian company focused on aerial intelligence and unmanned aircraft systems, and VoltaXplore, a joint venture between Martinrea International and NanoXplore aimed at commercializing the production of graphene-enhanced lithium-ion batteries...

A team of physicists has discovered that virtual charges, which exist only during brief interactions with light, play a critical role in ultrafast material responses. Using attosecond pulses on diamonds, they showed these hidden carriers significantly influence...

Researchers have reimagined Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, engineering a trade-off that allows precise measurement of both position and momentum. Using quantum computing tools like grid states and trapped ions, they demonstrated sensing precision beyond...

Researchers have discovered an unusual "quantum echo" in superconducting materials, dubbed the Higgs echo. This phenomenon arises from the interplay between Higgs modes and quasiparticles, producing distinctive signals unlike conventional echoes. By using precisely...
