For nearly a century, there were two known kinds of magnets. Ferromagnets are the classic magnets that attract metal and keep pictures stuck to the refrigerator. Antiferromagnets hide their magnetism ...

A visual representation of tensor networks. (Lucy Reading-Ikkanda/Simons Foundation) Efforts to advance quantum computing are ...

The entry of quantum computers into society is currently hindered by their sensitivity to disturbances in the environment. Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, and Aalto ...

Engineering atom interactions inside an artificial quantum material resulted in a new quantum state: the higher-order topological magnet. When different quantum states combine, new collective states ...

Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already doing useful work. These sensors measure fields, forces and motion so small ...

Honeycombs are famous for their elegant design, but now they may have found a new application: quantum computing. To collect ...

A discovery by physicists is unlocking a new understanding of magnetism and electronic interactions in cutting-edge materials, potentially revolutionizing technology fields such as quantum computing ...

Light beams of varying intensities (yellow cylinders) help visualize magnetic domains (light and dark areas), separated by domain walls (red lines). When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a ...

A quantum 'miracle material' could support magnetic switching, a team of researchers has shown. A quantum "miracle material" could support magnetic switching, a team of researchers at the University ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
