Quantum confinement is a phenomenon that occurs when the dimensions of a material are reduced to the nanoscale, typically in the range of 1-100 nanometers. At this scale, the electronic and optical ...

Earlier this year, experiments shattered expectations by pushing the limits of what classical computing was believed to be ...

The confinement of charge carriers in quantum wells leads to unique electronic and optical properties, making them essential components in various optoelectronic devices. This illustration represents ...

Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to potentially enable ...

Superconductivity is the phenomenon by which, at sufficiently low temperatures, electric current can flow in a metal with no ...

Researchers are leveraging quantum mechanical properties to overcome the limits of silicon semiconductor technology.

The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe began as a hot, dense point, expanding into the cosmos we observe today.

Earlier this year, researchers at the Flatiron Institute's Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) announced that they ...

The problem they're tackling is what's known as "Boltzmann tyranny." It refers to the fundamental limit to how little voltage is required to switch a silicon ...

The diameter of a QD is in the same order as its exciton Bohr radius, which spatially confines the exciton and leads to the quantum confinement effect. This effect quantizes the energy levels of ...

How did everything begin? It's a question that humans have pondered for thousands of years. Over the last century or so, science has homed in on an answer: the Big Bang.
