OnePlus is shaking up the Android tablet market with its latest release, the OnePlus Pad 3, a highly capable device with a ...

Vacuum is often thought of as empty, but in fact it is teeming with fleeting energy fluctuations—virtual photons popping in and out of existence that can interact with matter, giving rise to new, ...

In a paper published in the journal Nature, the result of a French collaboration, a group of French researchers demonstrates for the first time that, under certain conditions, graphene can emit light ...

Wigner’s friend: the quantum thought experiment that continues to confound By analysing the size of each electron site in the Wigner crystal, the researchers also found evidence for the crystal’s ...

Yazdani and his colleagues made their Wigner crystal from electrons inside of two thin sheets of graphene, each only one atom thick. To diminish the electrons’ kinetic energy, they put the ...

Like light, electrons in graphene have quantum mechanical wave-like properties that can be accessed in devices, making such a semiconductor a good choice for use in future quantum computers ...

The crystal growers behind the graphene revolution Takashi Taniguchi and Kenji Watanabe create high-quality crystals that offer the perfect substrate on which to tailor-make two-dimensional ...
