The surface knows what lies beneath: physicists show how to detect higher-order topological insulators
University Of Illinois Grainger College Of Engineering

Just like a book can’t be judged by its cover, a material can’t always be judged by its surface. But, for an elusive conjectured class of materials, physicists have now shown that the surface previously thought to be “featureless” holds an unmistakable signature that could lead to the first definitive observation.

Solid-state qubits: Forget about being clean, embrace mess
Paul Scherrer Institute

New findings debunk previous wisdom that solid-state qubits need to be super dilute in an ultra-clean material to achieve long lifetimes. Instead, cram lots of rare-earth ions into a crystal and some will form pairs that act as highly coherent qubits, shows paper in Nature Physics.

Measurement Technique Sheds New Light on Semiconductors for Solar Fuels
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Semiconductors in photoelectrochemical cells can convert water into hydrogen for fuel. To develop this technology, researchers have developed a technique to measure these devices’ photovoltage, or energy output, quantitively. The technique avoids the difficulty of attaching wires to the front of the semiconductors in contact with water.
