Harnessing the power of 'spin orbit' coupling in silicon: Scaling up quantum computation Australian scientists have investigated new directions to scale up qubits—utilising the spin-orbit coupling of atom qubits—adding a new suite of tools to the armory.

Scientists enter unexplored territory in superconductivity search Scientists mapping out the quantum characteristics of superconductors—materials that conduct electricity with no energy loss—have entered a new regime. Using newly connected tools named OASIS at the U.S. Department of ...

Hunting for rare isotopes: The mysterious radioactive atomic nuclei that will be in tomorrow's technology When you hear the term "radioactive" you likely think "bad news," maybe along the lines of fallout from an atomic bomb.
