Whether bismuth is part of a class of materials highly suitable for quantum computing and spintronics was a long-standing issue. Research has now revealed that the true nature of bismuth was masked by ...

Artist’s impression of the quantum spin Hall effect in a graphene-based spintronic device, integrated in a chip. The blue and red spheres are spin-up and spin-down electrons traveling along the edge ...

The field of spintronics capitalises on the intrinsic spin of electrons in addition to their charge, opening pathways for faster, more energy‐efficient devices. At the heart of many spintronic ...

Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have uncovered previously unobserved oscillation states – so-called Floquet states – in ...

Kobe University quantum solid state physicist FUSEYA Yuki proved that the surface of bismuth masks the fact that the bulk material is not “topological,” a property valuable for a material’s use in ...
