Copper-oxide (CuO 2) superconductors, such as Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+δ (Bi2212), have unusually high critical temperatures.

The material the team studied, barium titanium sulfide (BaTiS 3), a hexagonal crystal, was already known to have large optical anisotropy, but scientists couldn't figure out why. It took years of back ...

Coupled quantum dots can be an important building block in the development of scalable quantum devices by controlling the quantum states of two adjacent quantum dots (QDs) electrically and optically.

Superconductors are materials which conduct electricity without any resistance when cooled down below a critical temperature. These materials have transformative applications in various fields, ...
