Quantum engineers have spent years trying to tame the fragility of qubits, only to be thwarted by the tiniest imperfections ...

A new hybrid layered perovskite featuring elusive spontaneous defect ordering has been found, report scientists. By introducing specific concentrations of thiocyanate ions into FAPbI3 (FA = ...

Researchers have explored a 'quantum-inspired' technique to make the 'ones' and 'zeroes' for classical computer memory applications out of crystal defects, each the size of an individual atom. This ...

Using hard X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, researchers revealed how oxygen vacancies and structural disorder influence subgap state formation. The figure shows the InGaZnO 4 crystal structure, the ...

From punch card-operated looms in the 1800s to modern cellphones, if an object has an "on" and an "off" state, it can be used to store information. In a computer laptop, the binary ones and zeroes are ...

Forward-looking: Researchers at the University of Chicago have achieved a groundbreaking milestone, storing terabytes of digital data within a crystal cube just one millimeter in size. They ...
