Physicists identify key mechanism behind chiral charge density wave in TiSe₂
Chirality is a property of some molecules, subatomic particles, living organisms and other physical or biological systems. This property entails a lack of mirror symmetry in these systems'...
Researchers demonstrate universal control of a quantum dot-based system with four singlet-triplet qubits
Being able to precisely manipulate interacting spins in quantum systems is of key importance for the development of reliable and highly performing quantum computers. This has proven to be...
LEDs based on transition metal dichalcogenides display reduced efficiency losses
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), semiconductor-based devices that emit light when an electric current flows through them, are key building blocks of numerous electronic devices. LEDs are used to light...
Meta-analysis of past research unveils distinct patterns in infant looking behavior
Human infants have limited motor capabilities, which prevents them from accessing and exploring all parts of their surrounding environment, and also makes them difficult research participants to...
First practical application of viscous electron flow realizes terahertz photoconductivity in graphene
When light hits the surface of some materials, namely those exhibiting a property known as photoresistance, it can induce changes in their electrical conductivity. Graphene is among these materials,...
Creating compact near-sensor computing chips via 3D integration of 2D materials
Three-dimensional (3D) integration has opened new possibilities for the development of denser circuits with more interconnected electronic components. 3D integration approaches entail stacking...
One-step electrochemical regeneration of CO₂ from (bi)carbonates enhances carbon capture efficiency
While systems that can generate energy from renewable sources are becoming increasingly widespread, it might take a while before these systems fully replace solutions that rely on the burning of...
Quasiperiodicity changes the ground-state properties of 1D narrow-band moiré systems, study demonstrates
Moiré materials, such as twisted bilayer graphene, are materials generally formed by stacking two or more layers of 2D materials on top of each other with a small lattice mismatch. This slight...
Unique memristor design with analog switching shows promise for high-efficiency neuromorphic computing
The growing use of artificial intelligence (AI)-based models is placing greater demands on the electronics industry, as many of these models require significant storage space and computational...
Innovative transistor for reconfigurable fuzzy logic hardware shows promise for enhanced edge computing
Edge computing devices, devices located in proximity to the source of data instead of in large data centers, could perform computations locally. This could reduce latency, particularly in real-time...
