A simple discovery is shaking the foundations of spintronics
A long-standing mystery in spintronics has just been shaken up. A strange electrical effect called unusual magnetoresistance shows up almost everywhere scientists look—even in systems where the leading explanation, spin Hall magnetoresistance, shouldn’t work at...
Physicists discover what controls the speed of quantum time
Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying on any external clock. By tracking subtle changes in electrons as...
Chiral secures $12 million to scale robotic platform for graphene chip integration
Swiss deeptech startup Chiral has secured $12 million in seed funding to commercialize its robotic platform designed for wafer-scale integration of nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene. The round was led by Crane Venture Partners, with participation...
Physicists solve a quantum mystery that stumped scientists for decades
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...
Graphene-engineered interfaces enable stable, high-efficiency flexible perovskite solar cells
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)...
Grapherry expands battery-related partnerships to evaluate its graphene in anode materials
Grapherry, a Chicago-based clean-tech materials company, has announced that it is expanding partnerships with battery companies to evaluate its waste-derived graphene for use in battery anode materials. The ongoing collaborations focus on assessing performance,...
A clever quantum trick brings practical quantum computers closer
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 observe superfluid-insulator transition in bilayer graphene excitons
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,...
