Researchers at the University of Vienna have demonstrated quantum interference in sodium nanoparticles containing more than 7,000 atoms—and produced clusters of nearly 10,000—showing that even large metallic particles can exhibit quantum behavior. Lead author Sebastian Pedalino said the results challenge the assumption that such objects must behave classically, confirming that quantum mechanics remains valid at […]

Detecting ‘hidden defects’ that degrade semiconductor performance with 1,000X higher sensitivity
A joint research team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, N.Y., has developed a new analysis method that can detect “hidden defects” in semiconductors, electronic traps that interfere with electrical flow, with approximately 1,000 times higher sensitivity than existing techniques.
