Quantum systems are known to be prone to dissipation, a process that entails the irreversible loss of energy and that is typically linked to decoherence. Decoherence, or the loss of coherence, occurs ...

A ubiquitous quantum phenomenon has been detected in a large class of superconducting materials, fueling a growing belief among physicists that an unknown organizing principle governs the collective ...

A novel way to fabricate superconducting nanocircuitry has been developed. However, the newly designed extremely small zinc nanowires did some unexpected -- and sort of funky -- things. For his ...

System designers and board designers have to design their board to handle the heat generated due to power consumption in the ICs. A good understanding of thermal resistance and its implication on ...

Directional thermal diffusion and insulation of in-plane anisotropic carbon fiber/CNF nanocomposite films. In a new study, scientists from Japan designed flexible thermal diffusion films made of ...
