Researchers have created a prototype quantum computer with a record number of qubits—the analog of bits in an ordinary computer—capable of performing logical
In research, sometimes the bumpy path proves to be the best one. By creating tiny, periodic bumps in a miniature racetrack for light, researchers at the
Researchers at NIST and their colleagues have built a superconducting camera containing 400,000 pixels — 400 times more than any other device of its type.
Conventional techniques for analyzing chemical composition, such as infrared (IR) microscopy often miss critically important nanoscale details. To overcome this
Most manufacturing has historically been based on top-down fabrication and assembly. With rapid advances in nanotechnology, there is increasing interest in
The interest in using graphene as an electronic material arises in large part from the high speed with which electrons move through the material — approximately
Since its discovery, graphene, a single atomic sheet of carbon atoms, has become a leading contender to be a key building-block material for future generations

Thermoelectric materials convert heat into electricity through thermally driven charge transport in solids or vice versa for cooling. To compete with
Field evaporates (with a voltage and laser pulse) a sharp tip-shaped specimen. Collects the ionization products in a position-sensitive, time-of-flight mass
