An artist's impression of the ultra-sensitive spin detection device

This new spin measuring device could help scientists - particularly in chemistry and biology - understand the structure and purpose of materials better.

A decades-old problem about how to reliably control millions of qubits in a silicon quantum computer chip has now been solved.

Quantum

A research team led by Australian engineers has created the first working quantum bit based on a single atom in silicon, opening the way to ultra-powerful quantum computers of the future.
