The development of new technologies drives scientific discoveries, the development of new materials and their applications and is thereby essential to the U.S. leadership in the global competitive ...

The fusion created by magnetically confined plasma is a promising clean and essentially unlimited future energy source. However, there are important problems hindering controlled fusion like the ...

In a review article published in Reviews of Modern Physics, Fèlix Casanova from the Nanodevices group at CIC nanoGUNE, Prof. Albert Fert, Nobel Prize in Physics, and his colleagues review the state of ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy the other. Yet in the past year, experiments in two very different ...

We present the study of the SiGe quantum ring (QR) modeled by an anharmonic axially symmetric potential with a centrifugal core in the effective mass approximation. We show how the femtosecond laser ...

There are currently several superconducting materials used for design and fabrication of high-field magnets. 1 The most widely established of them—low-temperature superconductor NbTi—is the workhorse ...
