Irregular dynamics surprise scientists in exquisite nuclear measurements

New results from the ANU Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility, measuring the incredibly fast movement of protons and neutrons whizzing back and forth in nuclear reactions have revealed surprisingly irregular behaviour. The findings, published in Physical Review Letters, may change the way physicists view the nuclear reactions that are used to create new elements to extend the […]

Breakthroughs demonstrate reliable quantum computing in silicon chips

An international group of scientists has proven that near error-free quantum computing is possible, using silicon wafers implanted with ions at the Experimental Condensed Matter Physics Laboratory (ECMP) – the HIA node at the University of Melbourne. “Our operations were 99 per cent error-free,” says Professor Andrea Morello of UNSW, who led the work with […]
