Scientists have found that a “superatomic” material is the fastest and most efficient semiconductor ever. Taking advantage of a tortoise-and-hare mechanism, the new material can transport energy much faster than silicon.Continue ReadingCategory: Electr… Continue reading “Superatomic” material beats silicon for fastest semiconductor ever
While studying a material that could help unlock the secrets of superconductors, scientists have accidentally discovered a “demon” particle that was first theorized almost 70 years ago, but had never been experimentally confirmed.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading “Demon particle” accidentally discovered, solving 67-year mystery
The discovery was founded on the useful, but confusing idea of quasiparticles, which act as if they exist, but really don’t. There are only three types of particle in a solid: protons, neutrons and electrons. When packed together in a solid, these indi… Continue reading Researchers predict, then prove strange solid-state heat switches
A telltale signature of the theoretical particle was discovered last year. Now the Army wants to use it to build a quantum computer. Continue reading The Army Wants to Use a Theoretical Particle To Make an Unhackable Quantum Computer
