Penn State researchers use ultrasound to control orientation of small particles

“Acoustic waves may be able to control how particles sort themselves. While researchers have been able to separate particles based on their shape — for example, bacteria from other cells — for years, the ability to control their movement has remained a …

Perovskite solar cells invented by NUS scientists set new world record for power conversion efficiency

“These novel solar cells achieve an impressive stabilised efficiency of 24.35% - the highest for perovskite solar cells (active area of 1 cm2) to date Perovskite solar cells designed by a team of scientists from the National University of Singapore …

Photonic integration: Transforming the future of chip-scale applications

“Breakthrough in chip-scale integration for next-gen applications unlocks the power of photonic integration for compact, affordable, and high-performing devices. In the realm of photonics, the integration of multiple optical devices onto a single substrate holds immense promise for a wide …

Physicists discover a new switch for superconductivity

“The results could help turn up unconventional superconducting materials. Under certain conditions — usually exceedingly cold ones — some materials shift their structure to unlock new, superconducting behavior. This structural shift is known as a “nematic transition,” and physicists suspect that it …

Qualcomm Launches New Satellite IoT Solutions to Provide Uninterrupted Remote Monitoring and Asset Tracking

“Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. today announced two modem chipsets with satellite capability: the Qualcomm® 212S Modem and the Qualcomm® 9205S Modem. The new Qualcomm® modem chipsets power off-grid industrial use cases that require standalone non-terrestrial network (NTN) connectivity or hybrid connectivity …

Researcher 3D prints world’s smallest wineglass with new method

“Researchers have 3D-printed the world’s smallest wine glass—nearly indistinguishable with the naked eye—with a rim smaller than the width of a human hair. But the idea wasn’t to cater to extremely light drinkers. Rather, the glass …

Researchers demonstrate direct comparison of spin-squeezed optical lattice clocks at 10^-17

“Spin-squeezed atoms used to improve quantum measurements Although today’s best optical atomic clocks can be used to make extremely precise measurements, they are still limited by the noise from the spin statistics of the many atoms they interrogate, known …

Researchers develop a new source of quantum light

“The device emits a stream of single photos at room temperature and could provide a basis for optical quantum computers. Using novel materials that have been widely studied as potential new solar photovoltaics, researchers at MIT have shown that nanoparticles …

Researchers make major strides toward an all-purpose biosensor chip

“Detection across widely varying concentrations down to single-molecule could enable multiple medical tests to be performed on a single portable device Researchers have demonstrated significant improvements for chip-based sensing devices used to detect or analyze substances. The achievements lay the …

Schrödinger’s cat makes better qubits

“Quantum computing uses the principles of quantum mechanics to encode and elaborate data, meaning that it could one day solve computational problems that are intractable with current computers. While the latter work with bits, which represent either a 0 or …
