As interest in clean hydrogen power grows, so does the need for safe storage and transportation materials. One such material, vanadium, is a leading candidate because it readily absorbs hydrogen and ...

Scientists at the Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) at the University of Tokyo have ...

Graphene has long been regarded as one of the most promising materials for future electronics, but its relatively weak ...

A truly useful quantum computer must be able to run any algorithm, with the same versatility an ordinary laptop offers.

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

A stable honeycomb borophene layer hosts strongly interacting electrons that form a quantum liquid crystal state, with ...

Quantum group theory has emerged as a fundamental extension of classical symmetry concepts, unifying algebraic, geometric and analytical methods. Originating from efforts to deform universal ...

Quantum computer research is advancing at a rapid pace. Today's devices, however, still have significant limitations: For example, the length of a quantum computation is severely limited – that is, ...

A technique from the newest generation of quantum sensors is helping scientists to use the limitations of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to their advantage. In the 1960s, researchers at the ...

Deliberately breaking crystal symmetry widens topological bandgaps in 2D magnets made from light elements, predicting quantum anomalous Hall insulators robust enough to survive far above cryogenic ...
