The so-far disappointingly short lifetime of spin-polarized currents in graphene may be the result of magnetic defects.

A strongly driven single-ion qubit offers a method for performing spectrum analysis with high resolution.

A new scheme exploiting the orbital rather than the spin degree of freedom allows for studying the Kondo effect without disturbing it.

Manganese defects in zinc oxide have been identified as a class of electrically controllable qubits.

An ultra-high-speed camera has captured the cooling of surface electrons in topological insulators.

Controlling the surface termination of a material with a large spin-orbit effect could provide a way to select a particular spin state for spintronic devices.
