It is natural to hold a bias that assumes that the highest-quality devices are those formed from the most perfect materials (crystalline, well-ordered, stoichiometric). Therefore, it is ironic, and ...

A newly discovered carbon-based defect in the two-dimensional material hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) could be used as a quantum sensor to detect magnetic fields in any direction – a feat that is not ...

Researchers have made a breakthrough that should help pave the way for greatly improved control over the formation of quantum bits or qubits, the basic unit of quantum information technology. Team's ...

Experimental set-up of hBN quantum sennsor. (Image: RMIT University) To date, quantum sensing chips have been made from diamond as it’s a very robust platform. The limitations of diamond-based sensors ...

Researchers have discovered a novel way to manipulate defects in semiconductors. The study holds promising opportunities for novel forms of precision sensing, or the transfer of quantum information ...

Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (PAS) is a highly sensitive, non-destructive method for probing atomic-scale imperfections in a broad spectrum of materials, from metals and ceramics to polymers and ...
