Stevens Researchers Create Entangled Photons 100 Times More Efficiently Than Previously Possible

“Super-fast quantum computers and communication devices could revolutionize countless aspects of our lives — but first, researchers need a fast, efficient source of the entangled pairs of photons such systems use to transmit and manipulate information. Researchers at Stevens Institute of …

Super surfaces use terahertz waves to help bounce wireless communication into the next generation

“Assembling tiny chips into unique programmable surfaces, Princeton researchers have created a key component toward unlocking a communications band that promises to dramatically increase the amount of data wireless systems can transmit. The programmable surface, called a metasurface, allows engineers …

Sustainable and Attainable: Zoox Unveils Autonomous Robotaxi Powered by NVIDIA

“When it comes to future mobility, you may not have to pave as many paradises for personal car parking lots. This week, autonomous mobility company Zoox unveiled its much-anticipated purpose-built robotaxi. Designed for everyday urban mobility, the vehicle is powered …

Three-dimensional View of Catalysts in Action

“Operando X-ray Spectroscopy Brings New Opportunities for Materials and Reaction Diagnostics – Report in Nature Catalysis For understanding the structure and function of catalysts in action, researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), in cooperation with colleagues from the Swiss Light …

Tiny quantum computer solves real optimisation problem

“Quantum computers have already managed to surpass ordinary computers in solving certain tasks – unfortunately, totally useless ones. The next milestone is to get them to do useful things. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have now shown that they …

To the brain, reading computer code is not the same as reading language

“Neuroscientists find that interpreting code activates a general-purpose brain network, but not language-processing centers. In some ways, learning to program a computer is similar to learning a new language. It requires learning new symbols and terms, which must be organized …

Toward imperceptible electronics that you cannot see or feel

“Researchers from Osaka University fabricated ultrathin, flexible, transparent sensors with cross-aligned silver nanowire microelectrodes fabricated using print technique that are scalable and require minimal raw materials Transparent electronics—such as head-up displays that allow pilots to read flight data while …

Ultra-thin and highly sensitive strain sensors

“A research team from NUS, led by Assistant Professor Chen Po-Yen, has taken the first step towards improving the safety and precision of industrial robotic arms by developing a new range of nanomaterial strain sensors that are 10 times more …

Ultra-thin designer materials unlock quantum phenomena

“New research, published in Nature, has measured highly sought-after Majorana quantum states A team of theoretical and experimental physicists have designed a new ultra-thin material that they have used to create elusive quantum states. Called one-dimensional Majorana zero energy modes …

Upcycling: Turning plastic bags into adhesives

“While many cities and eight states have banned single-use plastics, bags and other polyethylene packaging still clog landfills and pollute rivers and oceans. One major problem with recycling polyethylene, which makes up one-third of all plastic production worldwide, is economic …
