All-Nitride Superconducting Qubit Developed Using Epitaxial Growth on a Silicon Substrate

Researchers at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, in collaboration with researchers at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology and the Tokai National Higher Education and Research System Nagoya University have succeeded in developing an all-nitride superconducting qubit using epitaxial growth on a silicon substrate that does not use aluminum as the conductive material.

Virginia Tech Discovery can be Applied to Improving Electronic Devices and Quantum Computers

When electrons flow through a conductor — such as the copper wires in our phone chargers or the silicon chips in the circuit boards of our laptops — they collide with material impurities and with each other in a tiny atomic frenzy. Their interaction with impurities is well known.

Hydrodynamic Electron Flow in 3D Materials Observed for the First Time

Electrons flow through most materials more like a gas than a fluid, meaning they don't interact much with one another. It was long hypothesized that electrons could flow like a fluid, but only recent advances in materials and measurement techniques allowed these effects to be observed in 2D materials.

New Efforts to Detect Gravitational Waves from Supermassive Blackholes

Supermassive black holes weighing million to billion times more than the Sun can be found in all galaxies. During the collision of galaxies, pairs of supermassive black holes found at their centers also end up on the collision course.
