“Although glass has been used throughout history, its atomic structure was not proposed until the 20th century. Yet, a few mysteries remain even today. In a seminal paper in The Journal of the American Chemical Society in 1932, physicist William …
“Launched in 1977, the twin Voyager probes are NASA’s longest-operating mission and the only spacecraft ever to explore interstellar space. NASA’s twin Voyager probes have become, in some ways, time capsules of their era: They each carry an …
“Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have adapted their atom-based radio receiver to detect and display live color television and video games. Atom-based communications systems are of practical interest because they could be physically smaller and …
“Scientists develop black glasses grafted silicon microparticles as negative electrode material for improving lithium-ion battery performance Silicon-based negative electrode materials have excellent energy capacity making them ideal for use in lithium-ion batteries. However, their practical application faces challenges including lack …
“Researchers and entrepreneurs have developed an implant made of collagen protein from pig’s skin, which resembles the human cornea. In a pilot study, the implant restored vision to 20 people with diseased corneas, most of whom were blind prior …
News Breakthrough for the realization of ultrafast quantum computers: the world’s fastest 2-Qubit gate between two single atoms
“The team succeeded in executing the world’s fastest two-qubit gate (a fundamental arithmetic element essential for quantum computing) using a completely new method of manipulating, with an ultrafast laser, micrometer-spaced atoms cooled to absolute zero temperature. For the past …
“Engineers have discovered a way to replace 100% of conventional aggregates in concrete – such as gravel and crushed rock – with rubber from discarded tyres that meets building codes, promising a boost for the circular economy. The team from RMIT University …
“Fabricating intricate optical structures onto the tip of an optical fiber creates a new source of special light beams. An all fiber-based approach to generating special optical beams, called Bessel beams, could open up new applications in imaging, optical trapping …
“Researchers from the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) have developed a new enzyme engineering platform to improve plastic degrading enzymes through directed evolution. To illustrate the utility of their platform, they have engineered an enzyme that can successfully degrade poly …
“USC Information Sciences Institute researchers have developed a novel approach to quickly identify security vulnerabilities. Malware, viruses, spyware, bots and more! Hackers have many tools at their disposal to ruin your day through your vulnerable technology. As we become increasingly …
