QNS Exploring the Nano World
100,000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair – Tae-in Yoon (Reporter, Kids Science Donga) What if one meter is reduced by one tenth nine times? One billionth of a meter is called 1 nm (nanometer). It’s a small world, about 1/100,000 the thickness of a human hair. The Kids Science Donga’s junior…
QNS Women in Science – Time Management Workshop
QNS Women in Science Group organized a workshop called “Time Management Workshop” on November 18, 2022.Our Director of Operations Michelle led how to improve our efficiency and productivity through time management. Time management is a critical skill to improve our efficiency and productivity, reduce stress, and lead to career success. “It was the first time…
Andreas Heinrich awarded Heinrich Rohrer Medal (Grand Medal)
QNS director, Andreas Heinrich has been awarded the Heinrich Rohrer Medal (Grand Medal). The Japan Society of Vacuum and Surface Science selected Heinrich “for his ground-breaking development of scanning tunneling microscope methods to study the spin properties of magnetic atoms on surfaces for revealing the quantum nature of the magnetism at the atomic scale”. QNS…
Using breakthrough method, researchers answer key question about electron states
A multinational research project led by the Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) in Seoul, introduced a method to measure the multi-electron states of isolated magnetic atoms. They answered the question: which orbitals do the electrons occupy? Scientists are working hard to engineer the properties of nanostructures, such as atoms and molecules, to realize efficient logic…
Researchers discovered a new phase of matter with β-Bi₂Pd superconductor
The collaboration QNS – San Sebastián (DIPC and CFM) is bearing its fruits. This article summarizes a first research stay by Dr. Deung-Jang Choi from San Sebastián at QNS. She was hosted at QNS and had access to great collaborations and great equipment. Indeed, the work was performed at a new milli-Kelvin facility, permitting QNS…
Researchers Identify Ultrastable Single Atom Magnet
Researchers at the IBS Center for Quantum Nanoscience at Ewha Womans University (QNS) have shown that dysprosium atoms resting on a thin insulating layer of magnesium oxide have magnetic stability over days. In a study published in Nature Communications they have proven that these tiny magnets have extreme robustness against fluctuations in magnetic field and…
