“For the first time, scientists observe exciton quasiparticles confined in atomically thin materials, opening new paths to controlling excitons for quantum and optolectronic applications Excitons are drawing attention as possible quantum bits (qubits) in tomorrow’s quantum computers and are …

“Among other discoveries made by the rover, rippled rock textures suggest lakes existed in a region of ancient Mars that scientists expected to be drier. When NASA’s Curiosity rover arrived at the “sulfate-bearing unit” last fall, scientists thought they …

“Some of the hottest spots in the Sun’s atmosphere appear in the telescope’s X-ray view. Even on a sunny day, human eyes can’t see all the light our nearest star gives off. A new image displays some …

“MIT engineers developed organic polymers that can efficiently convert signals from biological tissue into the electronic signals used in transistors. Certain electronics that integrate with the human body — a smartwatch that samples your sweat, for instance — work by converting the …

“A new battery design could help ease integration of renewable energy into the nation’s electrical grid at lower cost, using Earth-abundant metals, according to a study just published in Energy Storage Materials. A research team, led by the Department …

“Physicists are increasingly using ultracold molecules to study quantum states of matter. Many researchers contend that molecules have advantages over other alternatives, such as trapped ions, atoms or photons. These advantages suggest that molecular systems will play important roles in …
News Qualcomm Introduces the World’s First 5G NR-Light Modem-RF System to Fuel a New Wave of 5G Devices

“Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. today announced Snapdragon® X35 5G Modem-RF System, the world’s first 5G NR-Light modem-RF system. NR-Light, a new class of 5G, fills the gap in between high-speed mobile broadband devices and extremely low-bandwidth …

“Chinese scientists have successfully implemented a new way of quantum key distribution (QKD) which can boost the speed of intercity quantum networks. Quantum network is known for its strong resistance against eavesdropping – theoretically, it’s completely hacker-free. Data transferred through …

“The existence of so-called super molecules has long been predicted theoretically. Now, a Munich team of researchers managed for the first time to create the conditions for proving these exotic entities. A team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute …

““Squeezing” noise over a broad frequency bandwidth in a quantum system could lead to faster and more accurate quantum measurements. A certain amount of noise is inherent in any quantum system. For instance, when researchers want to read information from …
