Quantum magnets forced to ”chillax”
In what may provide a potential path to connecting data in a quantum computer, researchers have shown that excited atoms in silicon can be forced into a relaxed state on-demand using a device that serves as a microwave “tuning fork.” The team’s findings could...
Stable Two-Dimensional Radioactive Films: An Atomic-Scale Picture
Two dimensional radioactive films are a new and exciting system to study nuclear decay at the atomic level with applications in a variety of fields ranging from medical imaging to cancer therapy. Before these films can be used in real-world application however, their...
Structures of two dimensional ice predicted by computer simulations
Scientists at UCL, including the LCN, and Cambridge have predicted new two-dimensional ice structures on the basis of state-of-the-art computer simulations. A systematic computer simulation study has led to predictions about how water molecules freeze into a single...
