Ultrafast operation and high performance: This is what is expected of quantum computers. But there are still some obstacles to the technical implementation of this new type of computer. Physicists of the University of Würzburg report on their progress in this research area in "Nature Photonics".
moreWorld first: chemists from the University of Würzburg have, for the first time ever, succeeded in creating a stable triple bond between the elements boron and oxygen. This success is reported in the leading journal “Science”.
moreThe photograph of a lit cigarette arouses a desire for nicotine in smokers. “Not necessarily,” say psychologists from the University of Würzburg. As they found out, some photographs even manage to trigger processes in the brain that are likely to suppress craving for this drug.
moreWhen plants protect themselves against drying out, processes take place in which calcium plays an important role, just as it does in muscle contraction in humans. Now for the first time, Dietmar Geiger and Rainer Hedrich from the Department of Molecular Plant Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Würzburg have shed light on exactly what happens.
moreElectrons in honeycomb structures can switch over to a very rare state, referred to as "spin liquid" by researchers. This has been demonstrated by physicists of the Universities of Würzburg and Stuttgart in a publication in the scientific journal Nature.
