April 9, 2025 Supersymmetry shows up in condensed matter, not colliders
New findings based on neutron scattering experiments performed at the ILL and ISIS reveal supersymmetric behaviour in a quantum material, demonstrating that it can emerge naturally in condensed matter. This has promising practical implications for making stable qubits for quantum computing. The study, led by researchers at PSI, is published in Nature Communications.

March 17, 2022 Frustrated antiferromagnets in a whorl
Tiny vortices in magnetic materials called skyrmions act like quantum particles. If able to be stabilised and then manipulated, they could lead the next-generation of electronic devices that exploit magnetic spin to transfer and store information. A new type of skyrmion discovered in an antiferromagnetic compound could wind up progress in the right direction.The study of complex magnetic behaviou…

Oct. 6, 2020 Machine Learning: First autonomous steps of the neutron spectrometer ThALES
During the second reactor cycle in 2020, the ThALES team and SCI/CS at ILL in Grenoble, France commissioned and tested a self-learning algorithm developed by the CAMERA team at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). For the first time, an algorithm took control over the measurement process, without human intervention. Completely agnostic (that is, without any prior information on t…

April 11, 2018 Unveiling the electrical and magnetic properties of lanthanum nickelates
The rare earth nickelates RNiO3 with the high Ni3+ oxidation state have continued to attract enormous interest due to the famous metal-insulator transition and unusual charge and spin-order phenomena. The prediction for multiferroicity and even superconductivity in thin film hetero-structures have triggered new intensive research efforts. However, our theoretical understanding remains limited. Lo…
