NCCR SPIN focuses on creating scalable spin qubits in semiconductor nanostructures made of silicon and germanium, with the ...
A layered form of graphene shows a rare semimetal state with balanced electrons and holes that becomes a topological insulator when exposed to moderate magnetic fields.
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnets are thin and magnetic materials in which molecules or layers are held ...
Pluto's largest moon, Charon, likely formed through a capture event in the early, crowded Kuiper Belt. Three-body encounters ...
Planet hunters have grown used to strange worlds, but a handful of discoveries now point to something even more radical: ...
Physics is often about recognizing patterns, sometimes repeated across vastly different scales. For instance, moons orbit planets in the same way planets orbit stars, which in turn orbit the center of ...
Far above Earth, scientists are using quantum sensors to listen for the faintest whispers of unseen forces that may weave through the universe. Scientists are constantly searching for new clues about ...
A new study of the red dwarf system TOI-3884 has uncovered rare, persistent spot-crossing signals that reveal unusually detailed information about the star’s magnetic activity and the planet’s orbital ...
The SQUIRE team sees this as only the beginning. The long-term vision is a space-ground network of quantum sensors that work ...
In June 2024, Stoke Space announced it had just completed a successful hot fire test of its full-flow, staged combustion ...
In this episode of Space Minds, host Mike Gruss sits down with Marshall Smith, CEO of Starlab Space for a fireside chat at ...
