A graphene-based Josephson junction incorporated in a superconducting circuit forms a voltage-tunable transmon qubit that can be controlled coherently.
Electrical damage of insulating polypropylene can be healed by heating surface-functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles dispersed in the polymer with oscillating magnetic fields, which activates nanoparticle diffusion and local melting of the damaged regions.
The long-range magnetic order in an artificial crystal that exhibits emergent ferrotoroidicity on the mesoscale can be manipulated by an effective magnetic vortex field that is generated by a scanning process with a magnetic tip.
Thanks to its topological properties, a CMOS-compatible photonic crystal shows reflectionless transmission of light at telecommunication wavelengths even along a path with sharp turns.
The nuclear spin of individual atoms is polarized by the tunnelling current from a scanning tunnelling microscope tip, enabling nuclear magnetic resonance to sense the local magnetic environment.
Two Si resonators couple through a non-Hermitian interaction to sense both the intensity and the incident angle of light with subwavelength resolution.
A spin-polarized current responsible for the planar Hall effect and anisotropic magnetoresistance is found to generate large antidamping spin–orbit torque in normal metal/ferromagnet/normal metal trilayers.
An array of Au nanocubes combined with a planar mirror simultaneously induces single-photon emitters at lithographically defined locations in WSe2 and enables directional outcoupling of Purcell-enhanced single photons with high quantum yield.
A photosynthetic biohybrid system based on non-photosynthetic bacteria that incorporate gold nanoclusters achieves faster electron transfer and more durable solar CO2 fixation.
The striped polarization domains in a BiFeO3/TbScO3 heterostructure induce alternating p- and n-type doping at the interface, giving rise to strongly anisotropic in-plane conductance.
