Despite the headline, this isn’t really a story about superconductivity—at least not the superconductivity that people care ...

The ‘Tapping Mode SQUID-on-Tip’ (TM-SOT) microscope enables multimodal imaging to be performed extremely close to the sample surface using tapping mode feedback. This allows for stability during ...

Researchers in the United States have developed a way to detect hidden defects in ultra-thin electronic materials that can cause devices to fail at lower voltages.

The world is never really at rest. Even in a vacuum near ultracold temperatures where all classical motion should come to a halt, you'll find quantum fluctuations. In thin, two-dimensional materials, ...

Future devices will continue to probe the frontier of the very small, and at scales where functionality depends on mere atoms, even the tiniest flaw matters. Researchers at Rice University have shown ...

Researchers have shown that hard-to-spot defects in a widely used two-dimensional insulator can trap electrical charges and locally weaken the material, making it more likely to fail at lower voltages ...

Columbia University researchers have proven that quantum fluctuations from a vacuum can modify nearby materials ...

Researchers in the United States have developed a new technique that can spot hidden ...

Future devices will continue to probe the frontier of the very small, and at scales where functionality depends on mere ...

An international team of researchers has shown that superconductivity can be modified by coupling a superconductor to a dark electromagnetic cavity. The research opens the door to the control of a ...
