Preserving a Single Electron As a Qubit Now Possible

A team of investigators managed to achieve an impressive breakthrough recently, when they developed a method of preserving the spin state of a single electron inside its environment.In other words, the physicists were able to allow for the separate existence of a single solid state spin in a quantum bit, or qubit. Th...

Supernova May Have Determined Life's Chirality

According to a new series of scientific investigations, it could be that the first molecules underlying the development of life on this planet did not appear here at all. These molecules have chiralities, as in spins, that are predominantly oriented towards the left side, although theoretically right-oriented ones sh...

Giant Saturation Magnetization Magnetic Material

In a groundbreaking experiment, investigators at the University of Minnesota, in the United States, recently managed to confirm the existence of giant saturation magnetization materials. In addition to this achievement, the group also managed to demonstrate that the predicted limit of maximum magnetism for an object ...

Quantum-Computer Studies Advance at Princeton

A professor at the Princeton University has recently managed to eliminate one of the major hurdles plaguing the field of quantum computing, when he has developed a method of altering the properties of a single electron in a sea of other electrons. The finding is absolutely fundamental to developing the new, heavily i...

Pulsar 'Glitches' Still Unexplained

Pulsars are neutron stars left behind after a massive supernova explosion. After everything clears, all that remains is the core of the formerly massive star that blew up, which is now shedding neutrons, while spinning very fast around its own axis. They are called pulsars because the jets of radiation they are elimi...

Electricity Can Control Electrons' Spin Orientations

Scientists at the University of Cincinnati have recently discovered an innovative, new method of controlling the spin orientation of electrons – an area of research known as spintronics – using nothing more than electrical means. This has long since been hypothesized as possible, but has never been scient...
