New nanomechanical oscillators with record-low loss

Scientists show that a regular polygon suspended at its vertices supports vibrational modes along the perimeter with extremely high quality factors. This approach to loss-engineering has an important advantage over previous techniques: realizing high quality factors in devices with much smaller footprints.

Quantum one-way street in topological insulator nanowires

Scientists have demonstrated that nanowires can act like a quantum one-way street for electrons when made of a topological insulator. The discovery opens the pathway for new technological applications of devices made from topological insulators and demonstrates a significant step on the road to achieving so-called topological qubits.
