“Inexpensive laser could increase access to OCT imaging, helping to catch eye problems early Researchers have shown that a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) diode, which is commonly used in telecommunications and lidar applications, could offer a less expensive …
“Within superconductors little tornadoes of electrons, known as quantum vortices, can occur which have important implications in superconducting applications such as quantum sensors. Now a new kind of superconducting vortex has been found, an international team of researchers reports. Egor …
“A study inspired by the Japanese paper-cutting art provides a blueprint for designing shape-shifting materials and devices. Kirigami takes pop-up books to a whole new level. The Japanese paper craft involves cutting patterns in paper to transform a two-dimensional sheet …
“Scientists decode the chemical profile of tantalum surface oxides to understand loss and improve qubit performance. Whether it’s baking a cake, building a house, or developing a quantum device, the quality of the end product significantly depends on its …
“It sounds like trying to scan a record with a hammer: light is actually too “coarse” to image small particles on the nanometer scale. However, in their project “SuperCol”- funded by the European Union - scientists want to achieve just that …
“Dr. Lyndsey McMillon-Brown was hoping to see anything but mustard yellow. When the NASA research electrical engineer clicked open the photo of a small sample – a swatch of film no bigger than a sticky note – she let out a cheer …
“By mapping the volumes of objects, rather than their surfaces, a new technique could yield solutions to computer graphics problems in animation and CAD. In computer graphics and computer-aided design (CAD), 3D objects are often represented by the contours of …
“Many owners of electric vehicles worry about how effective their battery will be in very cold weather. Now a new battery chemistry may have solved that problem. In current lithium-ion batteries, the main problem lies in the liquid electrolyte. This …
“A quarter of a century ago, theoretical physicists at the University of Innsbruck made the first proposal on how to transmit quantum information via quantum repeaters over long distances which would open the door to the construction of a worldwide …
“Quantum key distribution system based on integrated photonics lays groundwork for network implementation Researchers have developed a quantum key distribution (QKD) system based on integrated photonics that can transmit secure keys at unprecedented speeds. The proof-of-principle experiments represent an important …
