(Nanowerk News) Single photons have applications in quantum computation, information networks, and sensors, and these can be emitted by defects in the atomically thin insulator hexagonal boron nitride ...

The researchers say their results, using an atomically thin material, hexagonal boron nitride, constitute a significant step forward in understanding light-matter interactions of quantum systems in 2D ...

At extreme pressures and temperatures, water becomes superionic — a solid that behaves partly like a liquid and conducts ...

An international research team led by scientists from the University of Rostock, CNRS-École polytechnique in France, and ...

Building on work published over the past few years, a research team at the University of Vienna led by Toma Susi has now used the advanced electron microscope Nion UltraSTEM100 to move single silicon ...

A team of scientists may have developed a way to address a decades-long challenge in the field of quantum materials - the spectral tuning of proposed quantum light sources. The researchers say their ...
