Metallic material produces magnetic deflection without magnetic field

Materials Today: Electric current is deflected by a magnetic field. In conducting materials, this leads to the so-called Hall effect, which is often used to measure magnetic fields. Now, in collaboration with scientists from Rice University, the Paul Scherrer Institute in…

A Superconducting Qubit that Protects Itself

Physics: Today, noise poses one of the biggest challenges for quantum computation efforts. Be it in the form of dissipated heat, electromagnetic radiation, or something else, noise can disrupt fragile quantum superpositions and lead to errors. The jury is still…

Quantum physics gives brain-sensing MEG scanners a boost

Physics World: Novel technology in healthcare based on fundamental physics saves millions of lives every year but while these machines have revolutionized medicine, the next generation must meet even greater challenges. Hannah Coleman and Matt Brookes are hoping that the University…
