Supersonic Waves Improve Nano-Electronics

Amazing localized excitations such as freak waves happen in nature at all scales. The present theory and models of these waves can be applied to various fields such as physics, acoustics, cosmological relativity, neuro-dynamics, nonlinear lasers and optics, plasmas and oceanography, but they can also play an important role in nano-electronics at the quantum scale.

Nanometer-Scale Image Provides New Information Regarding Marine Shell Formation

The ocean has countless single-celled organisms that grow protective shells in order to keep themselves safe as they drift along, feeding off other miniature marine animals and plants. Collectively, the shells are so abundant that when they sink they provide oceanographers with a wealth of historic data regarding ocean chemistry.

Researchers Study Defects in Nanoscale Instruments

Scientists from the Tokyo Institute of Technology collaborated with the University of Cambridge to explore the interaction between electronic defect states and microwave fields within the field-effect transistors’ oxide layer at cryogenic temperatures. It has been discovered that the physics of such defect states are in sync with driven two-level systems that possess long coherence times.
