Predicting accidental release of engineered nanomaterials to the environment

Nature Nanotechnology, Published online: 02 February 2023; doi:10.1038/s41565-022-01290-2Quantification of the accidental release rates of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) would inform risk management strategies and their implementation, but a comprehensive assessment of ENM accidental release is not currently available. Here the authors present a predictive...

Ideal refocusing of an optically active spin qubit under strong hyperfine interactions

Nature Nanotechnology, Published online: 26 January 2023; doi:10.1038/s41565-022-01282-2Optically active semiconductor quantum dots have so far suffered from nuclear inhomogeneity limiting all dynamical decoupling measurements to a few microseconds. Lattice-matched GaAs–AlGaAs quantum dots now enable decoupling schemes to achieve a 0.11 ms spin coherence...
