Researchers from IIT Kharagpur, IISc and ISRO have discovered that balancing microscopic nanoparticles with flexible metallic structures allows ultra-low carbon steel to achieve a mix of extreme strength and crack resistance.
Study shows how the structure of the networks that quantum particles travel through affects their properties, like coherence. Could lead to better designs for quantum devices.
The new method offers a straightforward approach to imprint the geometric phase from a classical laser beam and transfer it directly onto a pair of entangled photons.
The researchers used mathematical models based on the Dirac-Weyl equation to simulate how an electron in a graphene sheet would behave under external magnetic fields.
