Defect-free pattern of 100 atomic qubits: a new platform for scalable quantum computing. Credit: Gerhard Birkl Neutral atoms trapped by light in arrays of dipole traps could be used as quantum bits ...

A new atom camera uses one ultracold rubidium atom to map light intensity and polarization with spatial resolution below 100 nanometers.

Scientists have created a process to make patterns in atom-thick layers that combine a conductor -- graphene -- and an insulator -- hexagonal boron nitride. The process may lead to new possibilities ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Researchers have developed a novel technique that combines two approaches to nanofabrication - top-down and bottom-up methods - to enable unprecedented atomic-scale precision ...
