Researchers at the University of Rochester have, for the first time ever, confirmed the existence of a "nuclear-spin dark state," a theoretical concept that could improve the stability of quantum ...

Physicist John Nichol uses equipment such as a dilution refrigerator to study quantum systems. He recently provided the first direct evidence of a quantum state called the nuclear-spin dark state, a ...

Chirality -- a geometric property that allows molecules to exist in two distinct forms that are chemically identical but are 3D mirror images of each other, like a right and left hand -- has a ...

Diamonds with certain optically active defects can be used as highly sensitive sensors or qubits for quantum computers, where the quantum information is stored in the electron spin state of these ...

Researchers proposed a completely novel strategy to apply an external magnetic field to modulate spin states, and thereby improve electrocatalytic performance. (Nanowerk News) The job of a catalyst is ...

Solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) offer a route for efficient energy conversion and storage by converting renewable electricity into storable chemical fuels through high-temperature carbon ...

Scientists are closer to creating a quantum spin liquid, a state where electron spins stay dynamic even at near absolute zero, key for future quantum computing. (Nanowerk News) The future of computing ...

Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize technology by solving complex calculations and computations that are difficult, if not impossible, for traditional computers. One major roadblock, ...
