Research reveals rare metal could offer revolutionary switch for future quantum devices (21/11/2023)
Quantum scientists have
discovered a rare phenomenon that could hold the key to creating a 'perfect
switch' in quantum devices which flips between being an insulator and a
superconductor.
Korean researchers develop nanomaterial to enable eco-friendly removal of fine dust precursors (21/11/2023)
Over the past decade, fine dust
conditions in Korea have worsened, as perceived by the general public, with an
increase in the number of days per year featuring high-concentration fine dust.
Additionally, the previous maximum fine-dust concentration level has been
surpassed. In response, the Korean government has expanded its financial
investment in efforts aimed at addressing fine-dust issues.
Creating optical logic gates from graphene nanoribbons (21/11/2023)
Research into artificial
intelligence (AI) network computing has made significant progress in recent
years but has so far been held back by the limitations of logic gates in
conventional computer chips. Through new research published in The
European Physical Journal D, a team led by Aijin Zhu at Guilin University of
Electronic Technology, China, introduced a graphene-based optical logic gate,
which addresses many of these challenges.
Research overcomes major obstacle for quantum sensor development (13/11/2023)
Researchers from the Niels Bohr
Institute (NBI) have removed a key obstacle for development of extremely
sensitive monitoring devices based on quantum technology.
Study leverages chiral phonons for transformative quantum effect (13/11/2023)
Quantum materials hold the key to
a future of lightning-speed, energy-efficient information systems. The problem
with tapping their transformative potential is that in solids, the vast number
of atoms often drowns out the exotic quantum properties electrons carry.
Photonics team develops high-performance ultrafast lasers that fit on a fingertip (13/11/2023)
Lasers are essential tools for
observing, detecting, and measuring things in the natural world that we can't
see with the naked eye. But the ability to perform these tasks is often
restricted by the need to use expensive and large instruments.
Bartering light for light: Scientists discover new system to control the chaotic behavior of light (13/11/2023)
Harnessing and controlling light
is vital for the development of technology, including energy harvesting,
computation, communications, and biomedical sensing. Yet, in real-world
scenarios, complexity in light's behavior poses challenges for its efficient
control. Physicist Andrea Alù likens the behavior of light in chaotic systems
to the initial break shot in a game of billiards.
Simulating how electrons move through biological nanowires (13/11/2023)
The movement of electrons across
wires is what allows us to use electricity every day. Biological nanowires,
microscopic wires made of proteins, have caught researchers' attention for
their ability to carry electrons over long distances.
