(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists have sought to leverage atomic defects to enhance electrocatalytic performance for clean energy applications. However, the inability to precisely study defects' ...

This study is led by Prof. Shuangyin Wang (College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Hunan University) and Prof. Chen Chen (College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Hunan University).

Atomic-scale defects in crystals can make excellent quantum memories that can be written and read out using lasers, and could form the basis of future quantum communications and computing systems.
