Quantum leap for speed limit bounds

“Rice physicists set far-more-accurate limits on speed of quantum information. Nature’s speed limits aren’t posted on road signs, but Rice University physicists have discovered a new way to deduce them that is better — infinitely better, in some cases …

Quantum light squeezes the noise out of microscopy signals

“Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory used quantum optics to advance state-of-the-art microscopy and illuminate a path to detecting material properties with greater sensitivity than is possible with traditional tools. “We showed how to use …

Reconfiguring microwave photonic filters without an external device

“Researchers from EPFL’s Photonics Systems Lab have come up with a way of reconfiguring microwave photonic filters without the need for an external device. This paves the way for more compact, environmentally friendly filters that will be more practical …

Renesas Introduces DDR5 Data Buffer for High-Performance Server and Cloud Service Applications

“High-Speed, Low-Power Data Buffer Delivers Improved Speed and Bandwidth for DDR5 DRAM and Storage Class Memory Modules. Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions and the industry leader in memory interface products, today announced a …

Researchers Make Tiny, Yet Complex Fiber Optic Force Sensor

“Sensitive force measurements made with submillimeter-sized device could be useful for manipulating small objects or measuring liquid surface tension. Researchers have developed a tiny fiber optic force sensor that can measure extremely slight forces exerted by small objects. The new …

Revised code could help improve efficiency of fusion experiments

“An international team of researchers led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has upgraded a key computer code for calculating forces acting on magnetically confined plasma(link is external) in fusion energy …

Sensors of world’s largest digital camera snap first 3,200-megapixel images at SLAC

“The camera will explore cosmic mysteries as part of the Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time. Crews at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have taken the first 3,200-megapixel digital photos – the largest …

Stanford physicist’s quest for the perfect keys to unlock the mysteries of superconductivity

“For decades Z-X Shen has ridden a wave of curiosity about the strange behavior of electrons that can levitate magnets. Zhi-Xun Shen vividly remembers his middle school physics teacher demonstrating the power of X-rays by removing a chunk of radioactive …

Stanford researchers devise way to see through clouds and fog

“Using a new algorithm, Stanford researchers have reconstructed the movements of individual particles of light to see through clouds, fog and other obstructions. Like a comic book come to life, researchers at Stanford University have developed a kind of X-ray …

Strongest Magnetic Field in Universe Directly Detected by Insight-HXMT

“The Insight-HXMT team has performed extensive observations of the accreting X-ray pulsar GRO J1008-57 and has discovered a magnetic field of ~1 billion Tesla on the surface of the neutron star. This is so far the strongest magnetic field …
