An Entirely New Way on the Quantum Level Swinging

Many applications that make use of quantum effects require light to be in a specific state, namely a single-photon state. But what is the best…
Developing Low-cost and High-quality iron-based Superconductors

Developing Low-cost and High-quality iron-based Superconductors

At low temperatures, superconducting materials have zero electrical resistance, allowing them to conduct “supercurrents” without dissipation. A group of scientists led by Dr. Kazumasa Iida…
A Novel Approach to MRI

A Novel Approach to MRI

Magnetism is a property of matter caused by electrons orbiting in atoms. Because of the orbiting electrons, the atoms have a magnetic moment associated with…
