| New quantum dots herald a new era of electronics operating on a single-atom level Posted: 27 Jan 2014 08:27 AM PST New types of solotronic structures, including the world's first quantum dots containing single cobalt ions, have been created and studied. The materials and elements used to form these structures allow us forecast new trends in solotronics -- a field of experimental electronics and spintronics of the future, based on operations occurring on a single-atom level.  |
| Quantum computing? Moving an atom inside a crystal to investigate its function Posted: 27 Jan 2014 07:10 AM PST Physicists have moved an atom inside a crystal and investigate its function. Nanotechnology is a thriving science. Parts for computers for example are becoming smaller and more precise by the minute. One of the most efficient computers would be the so-called quantum computer. Up to now, its existence has been merely a concept that is based on the laws of quantum mechanics. Here, the ability to control the state of single atoms is decisive. For the first time ever, scientists have managed to move single atoms vertically inside a crystal.  |
