"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics.

While quantum mechanics explains the small-scale, low-energy behavior of electrons, relativity becomes important when those same electrons move fast enough for strange effects like spin-orbit coupling ...

For the first time ever, scientists have been able to directly observe spin waves—tiny ripples of magnetism known as magnons—at the nanoscale. This exciting discovery marks a major step forward in the ...

For the first time, spin waves, also known as magnons, have been directly observed at the nanoscale. This breakthrough was ...

For decades, ferromagnetic materials have driven technologies like magnetic hard drives, magnetic random access memories and ...

The ability to control electron spin could reshape multiple sectors of clean energy. In hydrogen production, spin-regulated catalysts make oxygen evolution reactions more efficient and cost-effective.

Scientists have known for a while that they could transmit quantum spin from one electron to another using molecules attached to metal or semiconductor substrates, but now they’ve shown that it ...

Apr. 8, 2021 — It may be possible in the future to use information technology where electron spin is used to store, process and transfer information in quantum computers.

A new review titled "Single-Electron Spin Qubits in Silicon for Quantum" published May 2 in Intelligent Computing, a Science Partner Journal, highlights the latest advances, challenges ...

Consecutive extraction of single-atom and -electron for tailoring the gold nanoparticle magnetism and catalysis was achieved. (Image: WU Zhikun) What's more, by carefully oxidizing this structure, the ...
