In response to an incident electromagnetic driving field, ultrafast tunneling current flows between the leading edge atoms of the sharp tip and the sample. This atomically confined electrical current results …
Atoms in an optical lattice perform “quantum walks,” experiencing many different quantum phenomena as they move around the lattice, such as superposition or tunneling. Photo credit: Alex Downham, Default Interactive …
Pop III TDE schematic. In a z 10 galaxy, a Pop III star is scattered by other stars and is tidally disturbed by the MBH.Most of the backup debris material …
Observed domain distribution within NbSe2 characterized by star- and clover-shaped CDW structures. The domain distribution pattern is somewhat similar to “urokomon,” a decorative pattern similar to fish or reptile scales …
