Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy have announced the manipulation of quantum properties of graphene, the single-atom-thick layer of carbon that has captivated researchers for about two decades. In their research, scientists constructed quantum electronic devices using a bespoke configuration of graphene layers: a twisted monolayer–bilayer graphene structure. This setup consists of a single…
How charge density waves could pave the way to faster, more efficient electronic devices
Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory report an advance in the quest for energy-efficient computing. Their latest research, published in Physical Review Letters, focuses on charge density waves, wave-like patterns of electrons. Using a novel microscopy technique, the researchers succeeded in manipulating these waves, potentially paving the way for a new generation of supercomputers that sip…
