Quantum defects are tiny imperfections in solid crystal lattices that can trap individual electrons and their "spin" (i.e., the internal angular momentum of particles). These defects are central to ...

Researchers found a way to tune the spin density in diamond by applying an external laser or microwave beam. The finding could open new possibilities for advanced quantum devices. Electronic devices ...

For years, automakers have pointed to solid-state batteries as the breakthrough that could transform electric cars.

Atomic-scale defects in 2D materials show terahertz spin splitting, pointing to robust spin qubits and single-photon emitters at higher temperatures. (Nanowerk News) Scientists from the National ...
