TL;DR: It is shown that this zero-bias conductance peak structure in the Nb-InSb nanowire-Nb hybrid quantum device can persist over a large range of applied magnetic fields and could be interpreted as a transport signature of Majorana fermions in the InSb Nanowire.

TL;DR: It is reported that arrays of p-i-n InP nanowires (that switch from positive to negative doping), grown to millimeter lengths, can be optimized by varying the nanowire diameter and length of the n-doped segment, which are comparable to the best planar InP photovoltaics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the excitation of Majorana fermions in a Nb-InSb nanowire quantum dot-Nb hybrid system was observed, and the measured zero-bias conductance for the hybrid device showed a conductance plateau in a range of the applied magnetic field in quasi-particle Coulomb blockade regions.

TL;DR: A fully reversible, two-mode, single-molecule electrical switch with unprecedented levels of accuracy, stability, consistency, and reproducibility is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, transport measurements in superconductor-nanowire devices with a gated constriction forming a quantum point contact are presented, and a crossover in magnetoconductance is observed: magnetic fields above similar to 0.5 T enhance conductance in the low-conductance (tunneling) regime but suppress conductance (multichannel) regime.
