The controllable splitting of a single Cooper pair in a hybrid quantum dot system
Cooper pairs are pairs of electrons in superconducting materials that are bound to each other at low temperatures. These electron pairs are at the root of superconductivity, a state where materials...
Study observes strong noise correlations between silicon qubits
To build highly performing quantum computers, researchers should be able to reliably derive information about the noise inside them, while also identifying effective strategies to suppress this...
Promising electrolytes for solid-state batteries based on viscoelastic inorganic glass
Recent advancements in the development of hybrid and electric vehicles have increased the need for highly performing battery technologies. Research teams worldwide have thus been working on a wide...
Study reveals the origin of high superconducting critical temperatures in trilayer cuprates
High-temperature cuprate superconductors are a broad class of materials that exhibit some unique characteristics. Due to their distinctive properties, these materials exhibit the highest...
Study identifies human–AI interaction scenarios that lead to information cocoons
The widespread use of AI algorithms, particularly algorithms designed to recommend content and products to users based on their previous activity online, has led to the rise of new phenomena known...
Approaching and avoiding ‘bad’ decisions are linked with different neural communication patterns
Human decision-making has been the focus of countless neuroscience studies, which try to identify the neural circuits and brain regions that support different types of decisions. Some of these...
Study shows that activity in the primate visual cortex is minimally linked to spontaneous movements
Many past neuroscience studies have found that animals process sensory information, such as visual stimuli, sounds, and so on, in relation to their movements within their surroundings. This...
Study uncovers giant fluctuation-enhanced phonon magnetic moments in a polar antiferromagnet
Phonons, quasi-particles associated with sounds or lattice vibrations, can carry momentum and angular momentum. However, these quasi-particles are commonly considered to possess negligible magnetic...
Using large language models to enable open-world, interactive and personalized robot navigation
Robots should ideally interact with users and objects in their surroundings in flexible ways, rather than always sticking to the same sets of responses and actions. A robotics approach aimed towards...
A new formula to calculate the strength of thin conical structures
Conical structures can have advantageous applications in a variety of fields, ranging from robotics to civil engineering. Studies have found that conical shells made of liquid crystal elastomer...
