Semi-quantized Hall Plateaus Observed in Confined Graphene

Scientists have successfully observed semi-quantized Hall plateaus in confined graphene, a phenomenon theoretically predicted but until now not experimentally confirmed under these conditions. This finding is significant because quantum Hall plateaus, which appear in two-dimensional materials subjected to intense magnetic fields and low temperatures, are typically quantized in integer multiples of the fundamental constant e²/h. The observation of semi-quantized plateaus, i.e.…

Jessica Dempsey takes the helm at SKA Observatory

Jessica Dempsey has been appointed as the new Director-General of the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO), the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescope project. This appointment marks a milestone in the construction and future operation of a global scientific infrastructure that promises to revolutionize our understanding of the universe.

The SKAO is designed to explore the cosmos with unprecedented sensitivity and resolution, allowing astronomers to study phenomena such as the formation of the first stars and galaxies, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and the search for extraterrestrial life. With sites in Australia and South Africa, the observatory will combine thousands of antennas to create a collecting area equivalent to one square kilometer.
