Credit: Zhao et al. Stanene is a topological insulator comprised of atoms typically arranged in a similar pattern to those inside graphene. Stanene films have been found to be promising for the realization of numerous intriguing physics phases, including the quantum spin Hall phase and intrinsic superconductivity. Some theoretical studies also suggested that these films …

In computing, there is a concept known as Moore’s law which basically states that computing power doubles every 18 months. I would like to suggest that breakthroughs in medicine appear to be mirroring this concept. Often we hear in a variety of news media outlets that a breakthrough for this disease or for that problem …

Earlier this month, a group of research labs in Chicago unveiled an extended, 124-mile quantum network running from the suburb of Lemont, through the city of Chicago, to the Hyde Park neighborhood and back. That total length accounts for a newly added, 35-mile-long segment of optical fiber that was recently connected to an 89-mile quantum …
