Layered superconductor coaxed to show unusual properties with potential for quantum computing
A team led by researchers from the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA has designed a unique material based on a conventional superconductor—that is, a substance that enables electrons to travel through it with zero resistance under certain conditions, such as extremely low temperature. The experimental material showed properties signaling its potential for use in quantum
A new technique to calculate the physical running of couplings in quadratic gravity
Researchers at the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste, University of Massachusetts, and Instituto de FÃsica Teórica at Universidade Estadual Paulista in Brazil recently introduced an alternative approach to derive the correct physical beta functions of couplings in quadratic gravity. Their paper, published in Physical Review Letters, could contribute to the use of the
