- 1Timed light pulses amplify atomic layer motion in quantum material▼A carefully timed pair of light pulses can amplify the motion of atomic layers in a quantum material
Researchers report that two precisely timed light pulses can amplify the motion of atomic layers in a quantum material, a technique for driving and strengthening vibrations inside solids. The finding offers a new tool for controlling quantum materials with light, with potential relevance to future electronics and quantum technologies.
- 2UCD physicist stacks quantum materials like Lego▼The UCD physicist stacking quantum materials like Lego
A physicist at University College Dublin is drawing attention for work assembling quantum materials layer by layer, a method compared to stacking Lego bricks. The approach allows researchers to build custom structures from atomically thin materials, a technique increasingly used to explore quantum properties for future computing and electronics.
- 3Scientists weave 1D nanoribbons into synthetic 2D quantum materials▼Synthetic 2D quantum materials from atomic weaving of 1D nanoribbons
Researchers report in Nature a method for creating synthetic two-dimensional quantum materials by atomically weaving one-dimensional nanoribbons together. The approach opens a route to designed 2D lattices with tunable quantum properties, extending assembly beyond naturally occurring layered crystals. The work is drawing attention in the physics and materials science communities for its potential in quantum technologies and device engineering.
