Making Quantum ‘Waves’ in Ultrathin Materials

“Study co-led by Berkeley Lab reveals how wavelike plasmons could power up a new class of sensing and photochemical technologies at the nanoscale Wavelike, collective oscillations of electrons known as “plasmons” are very important for determining the optical and electronic …

Nanofiber Membranes Transformed Into 3D Scaffolds

“In the movie “Transformers,” cars morph into robots, jets or a variety of machinery. A similar concept inspired a group of researchers to combine gas foaming, which is a blend of chemicals that induces gas bubbling, and 3D molding technologies …

NIST Scientists Create New Recipe for Single-Atom Transistors

“Linking multiple copies of these devices may lay the foundation for quantum computing. Once unimaginable, transistors consisting only of several-atom clusters or even single atoms promise to become the building blocks of a new generation of computers with unparalleled memory …

NVIDIA’s New Ampere Data Center GPU in Full Production

“GTC 2020 — NVIDIA today announced that the first GPU based on the NVIDIA® Ampere architecture, the NVIDIA A100, is in full production and shipping to customers worldwide. The A100 draws on design breakthroughs in the NVIDIA Ampere architecture — offering the …

ORNL, LANL-developed quantum technologies go the distance

“OAK RIDGE, Tenn., May 12, 2020 — For the second year in a row, a team from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge and Los Alamos national laboratories led a demonstration hosted by EPB, a community-based utility and telecommunications company …

Quantum Brakes in Molecules

“Physicists have measured the flight times of electrons emitted from a specific atom in a molecule upon excitation with laser light. This has enabled them to measure the influence of the molecule itself on the kinetics of emission. Photoemission – the …

Researchers Invent Technology To Remedy 3D Printing’s ‘Weak Spot’

“Texas A&M and Essentium, Inc. researchers have developed a way to more effectively weld adjacent printed layers together. Allowing users to create objects from simple toys to custom prosthetic parts, plastics are a popular 3D printing material. But these …

Researchers map tiny twists in “magic-angle” graphene

“Results could help designers engineer high-temperature superconductors and quantum computing devices. Made of a single layer of carbon atoms linked in a hexagonal honeycomb pattern, graphene’s structure is simple and seemingly delicate. Since its discovery in 2004, scientists have …

Scientists explain magnetic pole’s wanderings

“It’s shifted in recent years away from Canada towards Siberia. And this rapid movement has required more frequent updates to navigation systems, including those that operate the mapping functions in smartphones. A team, led from Leeds University, says the …
