Atomic precision qubits in a silicon crystal

January 15, 2019
Quantum scientists in Australia have demonstrated the world’s first 3D atomic-scale quantum chip architecture.UNSW researchers showed the feasibility of their 3D chip architecture unveiled in 2015. This uses single-atom quantum...

Beating the diamond-standard

January 4, 2019
Forget diamond – when considering super-hard materials, says Metin Örnek, the search for an alternative is on…  How hard is super-hard? With advances in material science and engineering, comes the possibility...

Two beams are better than one

December 10, 2018
As neutron crystallography advances it is becoming a powerful scientific tool, but will it replace its well-known X-ray cousin? Not so say Matthew Blakeley and Derek Logan – rather, they...

Black hole gas rings flow in complex formations

November 30, 2018
The black hole "donut" is not actually a rigid structure. The black rings of gas surrounding active supermassive black holes are not simple donut shapes, but a complex collection of...
