Imagine a car passing through a locked gate without breaking it. It sounds like a scene from a sci-fi movie, but in the bizarre world of quantum physics, something just as bizarre happens for real.

The interplay between quantum tunnelling and dynamical systems continues to reshape our understanding of microscopic behaviour and non‐linear dynamics. Quantum tunnelling – the counterintuitive ...

Ytterbium titanate (Yb 2 Ti 2 O 7 or YbTO) is part of a special class of minerals called pyrochlores. These minerals have a huge range of potential applications, from fuel cells to high-temperature ...

Quantum materials exhibit remarkable emergent properties when they are excited by external sources. Functional applications of these properties rely heavily on their tunability in real time. However, ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis for their groundbreaking experimental work demonstrating macroscopic quantum tunneling, a phenomenon ...

The trio was awarded the prize for research on quantum tunneling, the second year in a row that IT-related work was honored. In a boost to the profile of quantum computing, the Nobel Prize Committee ...

With the right mix of materials, TFETs promise cooler, smaller, and more efficient circuits for everything from the Internet of Things to brain-inspired computers. But before they can leave the lab, ...
