Many quantum researchers are working toward building technologies that allow for the existence of a global quantum internet, in which any two users on Earth would be able to conduct large-scale quantum computing and communicate ...
Quantum satellites currently beam entangled particles of light from space down to different ground stations for ultra-secure communications. New research shows it is also possible to send these signals upward, from Earth ...
Blue Origin's heavy lift New Glenn became the first commercial rocket to make it to orbit on its first try back in January. Jeff Bezos' company is looking to repeat the feat while also nailing a return landing of its booster, ...
Rice University researchers studying a class of atom-thin semiconductors known as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have discovered that light can trigger a physical shift in their atomic lattice, creating a tunable ...
Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (GM-APDs) are highly sensitive light detectors, capable of detecting single photons. Photons of certain wavelengths, when absorbed by photodiodes, generate electron-hole pairs in a process ...
Having good neighbors can be very valuable鈥攅ven in the atomic world. A team of Amsterdam physicists was able to determine an important property of strontium atoms, a highly useful element for modern applications in atomic ...
Researchers at Kyushu University have designed a class of molecules whose ability to amplify light energy can be actively controlled by simply applying pressure. The findings, published in the journal Chemical Science, may ...
Temperature is a key physiological factor that determines the speed of immune reactions. While this may seem obvious, it has remained largely unexplored at the single-cell level鈥攗ntil now. Stefan Wieser from the Institute ...
At 4 degrees Kelvin, most electro-optic materials falter. Nanoelectronics R&D center imec has now successfully engineered thin-film strontium titanate (SrTiO鈧�) that delivers record electro-optic performance with low optical ...
LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, are essential components in near-eye displays like virtual reality and augmented reality headsets and smart glasses, along with electronics like cameras and medical equipment.
