Quantum states explored with a voltmeter
Research has demonstrated laser control of quantum states in an ordinary silicon wafer and observation of these states via a conventional electrical measurement. The findings – published in the journal Nature Communications by a UK-Dutch-Swiss team from the...
Molecular Dynamics unravel the dependence of friction on the atomistic details of surfaces
Researchers at UCL in a collaboration study with Laurent Joly, from the University of Lyon, have investigated the friction properties of liquid water at the interface with graphene and with an hexagonal boron nitride sheet, using ab initio molecular dynamics for the...
