“We are pleased to announce the Mbed OS 5.13.2 release is now available. This is the latest patch release based on the feature set that Mbed OS 5.13 introduces. Summary In this release, we have made a …

New quantum phenomena helps to understand fundamental limits of graphene electronics

“A team of researchers from the Universities of Manchester, Nottingham and Loughborough have discovered quantum phenomena that helps to understand the fundamental limits of graphene electronics. As published in Nature Communications, the work describes how electrons in a single atomically-thin …

New research highlights similarities in the insulating states of twisted bilayer graphene and cuprates

“In recent decades, enormous research efforts have been expended on the exploration and explanation of high-temperature (high-Tc) superconductors, a class of materials exhibiting zero resistance at particularly high temperatures. Now a team of scientists from the United States, Germany and …

Perovskite oxide shows potential for cleaner green energy

“Engineers at Washington University have developed what they believe is a more stable, less toxic semiconductor for solar applications using a novel double perovskite oxide. Rohan Mishra, assistant professor of mechanical engineering & materials science in the McKelvey School of Engineering …

Physicists discover family members of Schrödinger’s cat

“It has been said that the internet exists chiefly to show videos of cats interacting with boxes. An international team of researchers led by The University of Queensland has extended cats and boxes into the quantum realm, discovering that Schrödinger …

Physicists Make Graphene Discovery that Could Help Develop Superconductors

“Rutgers-led research could help reduce energy use, improve electronic devices When two mesh screens are overlaid, beautiful patterns appear when one screen is offset. These “moiré patterns” have long intrigued artists, scientists and mathematicians and have found applications in printing …

Quantum computers to clarify the connection between the quantum and classical worlds

“Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists have developed a new quantum computing algorithm that offers a clearer understanding of the quantum-to-classical transition, which could help model systems on the cusp of quantum and classical worlds, such as biological proteins, and also …

Quantum uncertainty helps solve an old problem

“Controlling how electrons zip through a material is of central importance to build novel electronic devices. How the electronic motion is affected by magnetic fields is an old problem that has not been fully solved, yet has already led to …

Research team develops technology for creating flexible sensors on topographic surfaces

“At the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, Dr. Hyunjung Yi of the Post-Silicon Semiconductor Institute and her research team have developed a transfer-printing technology that uses hydrogel and nano ink to create high-performance sensors on flexible substrates of diverse …
