- First on-chip multipartite entanglement achieved with optical microcomb 26/08/2025 A recent study has realized multipartite entanglement on an optical chip for the first time, constituting a significant advance for scalable quantum information. The paper, titled "Continuous-variable multipartite entanglement in an integrated microcomb," is published in Nature.
- Vortion, a new magnetic state able to mimic neuronal synapses 21/08/2025 Researchers from the Department of Physics have managed to experimentally develop a new magnetic state: a magneto-ionic vortex or "vortion." The research, published in Nature Communications, allows for an unprecedented level of control of magnetic properties at the nanoscale and at room temperature, and opens new horizons for the development of advanced magnetic devices.
- 3D imaging technique captures dynamic atomic shifts in nanoparticles, revealing unexpected structural phases 19/08/2025 A research team from Seoul National University College of Engineering has developed a technology to observe atomic structural changes of nanoparticles in three dimensions. Their study, which resolves a long-standing challenge even past Nobel laureates could not solve, was published online in Nature Communications on January 29.
- Quantum Design to Acquire NanoScience Division of Oxford Instruments 12/06/2025 Quantum Design is pleased to announce it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the NanoScience Division of Oxford Instruments, located in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom.
- Onion-like nanoparticles found in aircraft exhaust 10/06/2025 A research team from the National Institute for Environmental Studies (Japan), Zurich University of Applied Sciences (Switzerland), Tokyo Metropolitan University (Japan), and other institutions conducted emission tests on aircraft engines and examined the shapes and internal structures of the exhaust particles with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.
- Single-photon technology powers 11-mile quantum communications network between two campuses 29/05/2025 Researchers at the University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology recently connected their campuses with an experimental quantum communications network using two optical fibers. In a new paper published in Optica Quantum, scientists describe the Rochester Quantum Network (RoQNET), which uses single photons to transmit information about 11 miles along fiber-optic lines at room temperature using optical wavelengths.
- Bringing superconducting nanostructures to 3D 27/05/2025 The move from two to three dimensions can have a significant impact on how a system behaves, whether it is folding a sheet of paper into a paper airplane or twisting a wire into a helical spring. At the nanoscale, 1,000 times smaller than a human hair, one approaches the fundamental length scales of, for example, quantum materials.
- Microscopy method breaks barriers in nanoscale chemical imaging 22/05/2025 Today's super-resolution microscopes have made it possible to observe the nanoscale world with unprecedented detail. However, they require fluorescent tags, which reveal structural details but provide little chemical information about the samples being studied.
- Researchers develop full-color-emitting upconversion nanoparticle technology for ultra-high RGB display quality 20/05/2025 Dr. Ho Seong Jang and colleagues at the Extreme Materials Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed an upconversion nanoparticle technology that introduces a core@multi-shell nanostructure, a multilayer structure in which multiple layers of shells surround a central core particle, and enables high color purity RGB light emission from a single nanoparticle by adjusting the infrared wavelength.
