An optical probe has been developed for the chemical mapping of materials at the nanoscale by combining plasmonics, Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy.
A new method has been developed for extracting Cooper pairs from a superconductor and splitting them. The next challenge is to show that these unpaired electrons are entangled.
Using oxide interface engineering, researchers have shown that a single layer of copper and oxygen atoms can support superconductivity in a bilayer structure made from a metal and an insulator.
