Quantum materials are changing the way we understand electronics — and could open the door to entirely new technologies.
In this Q&A video, Assistant Professor Denis Bandurin (Presidential Young Professor, Department of Materials Science and Engineering at NUS CDE and Principal Investigator at the Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials) explains how these materials lead to unexpected behaviours such as superconductivity, magnetism, and unusual resistivity regimes.
His lab uses terahertz radiation to probe how electrons respond at ultra-fast timescales, enabling the development of advanced tools like a high-speed, high-sensitivity sensor that detects terahertz waves in trillionths of a second. These breakthroughs could power next-generation technologies in wireless communication, autonomous vehicles, AR/VR, and beyond.
