Researcher working at a laptop. An illustration of a microchip is composited in the background. Portrait of Bert de Jong, a person with short gray hair wearing a black jacket with arms crossed over chest, smiling. This image shows the cobalt defect fabricated by the study team. The green and yellow circles are tungsten and sulfur atoms that make up a 2D tungsten disulfide sample. The dark blue circles on the surface are cobalt atoms. The lower-right area highlighted in blue-green is a hole previously occupied by a sulfur atom. The area highlighted in reddish-purple is a defect—a sulfur vacancy filled with a cobalt atom. The scanning tunneling microscope (gray) is using electric current (light blue) to measure the defect’s atomic-scale properties. A person testing electronics that are part of the experimental setup used for making qubits in silicon in a lab. Magnon propagation in an antiferromagnet is revealed in these snapshots of spatially resolved transient reflectance, obtained using pairs of laser pulses. Berkeley Lab scientists have taken the first atomic-resolution images and demonstrated electrical control of a chiral interface state. Members of the team that conducted the research in the Lab. An illustration of a glowing orb of light near a shadowed forest floor, with small leaves illuminated by the orb Person with long, brown hair standing in front of scientific instrumentation. Digital illustration with a dark background featuring five quantum-related scenes. This electron microscopy-derived composite image shows excitons in green. The moiré unit cell outlined in the lower right of the exciton map is about 8 nanometers in size. Graphic illustration depicting three scenes surrounding a spinning microchip.
