Development of a high-energy-resolution, LaB6 nanowire-based field emission gun

Scientists have developed a lanthanum hexaboride nanowire-based field emission gun that is installable on an aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope (TEM). This combined unit is able to perform atomic resolution observation at an energy resolution of 0.2 eV - the highest resolution ever recorded for non-monochromatic electron guns - with a high current stability of 0.4%.

A new super-cooled microwave source boosts the scale-up of quantum computers

Researchers have developed a circuit that produces the high-quality microwave signals required to control quantum computers while operating at temperatures near absolute zero. This is a key step towards moving the control system closer to the quantum processor, which may make it possible to greatly increase the number of qubits in the processor.
