Researchers at ETH have studied in detail how single moving electrons can cause a material to become magnetic. Using quantum simulators, researchers in the U.S. have created images made of coloured ...

Single electrons in quantum dots can be disturbed by the apparatus used to measure them. The disturbance can be mediated by incoherent phonons — literally, noise. Engineering acoustic interference ...

This release is available in French. McGill University researchers have successfully amplified light with so-called "colloidal quantum dots," a technology that had been written off by many as a ...

Physicists in Germany have developed a new method for generating tunable wavelengths, as well as more easily switching back and forth between two wavelengths, employing quantum-dot lasers. The finding ...

(Nanowerk News) New types of solotronic structures, including the world's first quantum dots containing single cobalt ions, have been created and studied at the Faculty of Physics at the University of ...

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) constitute a platform to explore various quantum effects. Their size-dependent colors are essentially a naked-eye, ambient-condition visualization of the quantum ...
