The quantum tunneling effect is a quantum phenomenon which occurs when particles move through a barrier that, according to the theories of classical physics, should be impossible to move through.
The Bohr Model is a representation of the atom where negatively-charged electrons orbit around a positively-charged nucleus in the same way that the planets of the solar system orbit the sun.

In this interview, Richard J. Warburton, Professor of Experimental Physics (Ordinarius), Department of Physics, University of Basel, talks to AZoQuantum about self-assembled quantum dots.
Quantum bits or “qubits” are artificial atoms that use numerous methods to produce quantum information.
In this interview, Prof. Sergio O. Valenzuela, ICREA Research Professor and Leader of the Physics and Engineering of Nanoelectronic Devices group at the Centre d’Investigacions en Nanociència i Nanotecnologia, talks to AZoQuantum about different perspectives on spintronics.
Magnetometry broadly refers to measuring magnetic fields, and is a topic that is hard to cover in its generality. The fields to be measured could be constant or variable (for example, oscillating or pulsed), and, depending on application, can range in magnitude from femtotesla (fT) to hundreds of tesla.
Fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy is one of the most advanced and important techniques in biophysical research. The enormous sensitivity of fluorescence allows for the direct detection, spectroscopy and imaging of individual molecules.
Recent advances in nanofabrication have enabled the development of structures that can manipulate and localize light into volumes below a cubic optical wavelength with storage times of thousands of optical cycles.
