Atomic orbitals (red & blue), which determine how far electrons can move around their originating atom in a material, can trap those electrons in place—a new source of frustration that researchers can ...

Researchers demonstrate orbital hybridization in graphene-based quantum dots, revealing how anisotropic confinement influences electronic states at the atomic scale. Quantum dots, often described as ...

Quantum computers promise significantly shorter computing times for complex problems. But there are still only a few quantum computers worldwide with a limited number of so-called qubits. However, ...
