Harvard researchers have engineered a quantum material called a correlated oxide to perform comparably with the best silicon transistors. In future work the researchers will investigate the device’s switching dynamics and power dissipation. In the meantime, they noted, this advance represents an important proof of concept.

“Getting a robot to assemble itself autonomously and actually perform a function has been a milestone we’ve been chasing for many years,” said Robert J. Wood, Charles River Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and a core faculty member at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard.

A new NSF grant to the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences will advance the study of integrated quantum materials. One of the directions for the center's research will involve nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond, which can store information that is written and read out using light, as shown in this illustration.

This 2-D image of a wood tick's head, taken through a microscope, reveals little information about the bug's 3-D structure (photo1). Kenneth B. Crozier, the principal investigator at SEAS, has helped to change that with a new and accessible way to create 3-D images of translucent materials, such as biological tissues (photo 3).
