A tailor-made magnetic vortex

“HZDR team takes a closer look at special kind of quasiparticle Skyrmions are microscopic magnetic vortices that can form in certain materials. First detected in 2009, they are of interest to research because they could be harnessed for new forms …

An easier way to learn quantum processes

“EPFL scientists show that even a few simple examples are enough for a quantum machine-learning model, the “quantum neural networks”, to learn and predict the behavior of quantum systems, bringing us closer to a new era of quantum computing. Imagine …

An even closer look at magic tin

“A measurement of the indium-99 atomic nucleus in a long-lived excited state offers an even closer look at the special “doubly magic” tin-100 nucleus than a previous measurement in the ground state. In a new paper published in Physical Review …

Discovery may lead to terahertz technology for quantum sensing

“Metal oxide’s properties could enable wide range of terahertz frequency photonics Visible light is a mere fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum, and the manipulation of light waves at frequencies beyond human vision has enabled such technologies as cell phones …

Engineering dual carriageways for signals

“New possibilities for controlling signal routing in quantum information processing Routing signals and isolating them against noise and back-reflections are essential in many practical situations in classical communication as well as in quantum processing. In a theory-experimental collaboration, a team …

Global LiFi Firms Welcome the Release of IEEE 802.11bb Global Light Communications Standard

“Global LiFi technology firms pureLiFi and Fraunhofer HHI welcome the release of IEEE 802.11bb as the latest global light communications standard alongside IEEE 802.11 WiFi standards. The bb standard marks a significant milestone for the LiFi market, as …

Hiding In Plain Sight, Astronomers Find New Type Of Stellar Object

“An international team led by astronomers from the Curtin University node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) has discovered a new type of stellar object that challenges our understanding of the physics of neutron stars. The object …

Improving Lasers: ITMO Scientists Suggest a New Way to Couple Light and Matter

“A new approach has been suggested at ITMO to enhance interaction of light and matter during metamaterials production. Compared to conventional methods, the novel approach requires less precision and relies on cheaper equipment, while producing more compact and sensitive lasers …

Introducing the Nano ESP32: THAT’S I(o)T!

“Create your first – or your next – IoT project with the new Arduino Nano ESP32. The latest addition to our wide range of tiny boards with mighty features pairs the accessibility and flexibility of the Arduino ecosystem with the potential of …

James Webb Telescope Catches Glimpse of Possible First-Ever ‘Dark Stars’

“Stars beam brightly out of the darkness of space thanks to fusion, atoms melding together and releasing energy. But what if there’s another way to power a star? A team of astrophysicists including Katherine Freese at The University of …
