Quantum defects are tiny imperfections in solid crystal lattices that can trap individual electrons and their "spin" (i.e., ...

Researchers have achieved a major breakthrough by generating quantum spin currents in graphene—without relying on bulky magnetic fields. By pairing graphene with a magnetic material, they unlocked a ...

Scientists are closer to creating a quantum spin liquid, a state where electron spins stay dynamic even at near absolute zero, key for future quantum computing. (Nanowerk News) The future of computing ...

Theoretical physicists along with an experimental team have found evidence of a quantum spin liquid in a material known as pyrochlore cerium stannate. They achieved this by combining state-of-the-art ...
