At low temperatures, remarkable things could take place, one of which is definitely superconductivity and it has found applications in industry & science.
A 300,000 light-years long cloud of gas has been arching around the Milky Way, deflected away from two dwarf galaxies orbiting our galaxy.
If a metal could be engineered to look like such a kagome pattern at the atomic scale, in theory it should display rare electronic properties.
An emerging category of semiconductors can inexpensively light up homes in the future with modulated colors emitted from lamps, lasers & window glass.
When an aliphatic thiol, such as alkanethiol, is used to treat noble metals, a uniform monolayer gets self-organized on the surface.
Scientists at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have “rediscovered” a material that could be the basis for ultrahigh-speed quantum Internet. In their paper published in the journal npj Quantum Information, they have demonstrated a strategy to increase the rate of data transfer in unconditionally secure quantum communication lines to over 1 Gbps, rendering the speed of quantum Internet comparable to its classical equivalent.
Using hybrid photon-electron quasiparticles – polaritons, an international research team has created an analog of a solid-body crystal lattice. In the resulting polariton lattice, some particles’ energy does not rely on their speed. Simultaneously, the lattice’s geometry, particle concentration, and polarization properties can still be altered.
A new organic-based magnet can transport waves of quantum mechanical magnetization, known as magnons, and transform those waves into electrical signals.

Metastability can be largely observed in technology and nature. Various features behind the dynamics and behavior of such systems continue to be unrevealed.
The innovative method of making quantum bits from precisely positioned individual atoms in silicon is earning huge rewards.
As rival companies compete to assemble the largest-ever quantum chips, they are of course competing for ‘quantum supremacy’.
