Researchers have developed what amounts to a programmable platform for quantum chirality that could provide new approaches to ...

A new platform for engineering chiral electron pathways offers potential fresh insights into a quantum phenomenon discovered ...

A central mechanism behind information transfer in living cells depends on the transfer of electrons with a specific spin ...

Even though it's a spin = 1/2 particle, just like the electron, simply adding the spins of the three quarks that make it up together isn't enough. There are two things that contribute to angular ...

A new study led by researchers at the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Manchester has achieved a major advance in ...

Researchers have demonstrated how to control the "electron spin" of a nanodiamond while it is levitated with lasers in a vacuum, an advance that could find applications in quantum information ...

“Words have meaning, until they don’t,” he quips. It all depends how you spin them. Senior physics writer Emily Conover has a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Chicago. She is a two ...

They can't spin; proving that it's impossible for electrons to be spinning is a standard homework problem in any introductory quantum physics course. If electrons actually spun fast enough to ...

We have a lot to do. We’re interested in technologies that use both the spins and the photons of the hBN defects, and while we’ve made some strides in understanding the spin physics, we’ve got a lot ...

"We thought silicon would provide us with a more controllable platform in which to study central-spin physics." Typically, ...

In 1982, a condensed matter physicist named John Hopfield borrowed the physics of spin glasses to construct simple networks that could learn and recall memories. In doing so, he reinvigorated the ...
