Able to transform from an insulator to a conductor when deformed, devices made from a quantum-tunneling composite (QTC) can act as a pressure, bend, or touch sensor depending on how they are deployed.

Materials can alter the fabric of society: consider how nylon, that “miracle fiber” introduced at the 1939 World's Fair, has changed the world we live in today. A new material dubbed quantum tunneling ...

Briton John Clarke, Frenchman Michel Devoret and American John Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for putting quantum mechanics into action and enabling the development of all kinds of ...

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultra-sensitive measurements achieved by ...

Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a superposition of multiple states, as popularized by the Schrödinger's cat analogy, ...

In a groundbreaking studypublished in Physical Review Letters, researchers led by Professor Dong Eon Kim of POSTECH’s Department of Physics have solved a century-old mystery surrounding quantum ...
