The second European Quantum Technologies Virtual Conference (EQTC) was held online between 29th November and 2nd December 2021. This international event, which is coordinated by the European Quantum Flagship Initiative, was hosted this year by the Irish Centre for High-End Computing and the National University of Ireland. Dr. Alberto Montanaro, from the Consorzio Nazionale Interuniversitario […]
The discovery of magic angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) has opened a whole new world for researchers to find and characterize new and exotic properties and states of this material like superconducting, magnetic and topological phases. However, the creation of induced gate transition between different phases (superconductor and correlated Chern insulator states) in zero magnetic […]
A team of researchers from the University of Manchester’s National Graphene Institute have designed new optical devices with a unique range of tunability, covering the entire electromagnetic spectrum, including visible light. In a recent work published in Nature Photonics, researchers outline applications for this ‘smart surface’ technology ranging from next-generation display devices to dynamic thermal […]
An international team of researchers has demonstrated that atomic lattices of slightly twisted 2D transition metal dichalcogenides undergo extensive lattice reconstruction, which can pattern their optoelectronic properties on nanometre length scale. Since the isolation of graphene in 2004, researchers have identified a multitude of 2D materials, each with specific and often exciting properties. More importantly, […]
