A member of an important class of ion channel proteins can transiently rearrange itself into a larger structure with dramatically altered properties, according to a new study. The discovery is a ...

Pore-forming proteins are found throughout nature. In humans, they play key roles in immune defense, while in bacteria they ...

A protein foamed binder forms stable ion channels in dense lithium sulfur cathodes, delivering higher volumetric energy and ...

A new paper in Nature Physics shows that by cramming lots of rare-earth ions into a crystal, some will form pairs that act as highly coherent qubits, thus debunking the idea that solid-state qubits ...

Caught in a trap: the nanophotonic cavity used to create the ytterbium ion qubit. (Courtesy: Faraon lab/Caltech) Ions trapped nanoscale optical cavities could be used to distribute entangled quantum ...

Ion Coulomb crystals (ICCs) are formed whenever trapped atomic ions reach temperatures low enough that their thermal energy is much less than the Coulomb repulsion between the ions. This is usually ...
