Tuning Quantum Light Sources

“First known material capable of emitting single photons at room temperature and telecom wavelengths. The Science Knowing the details of the quantum world—electrons and packets of light called photons—could radically improve computers and sensors. A critical component to …

Two for the Price of One: Towards Quantum Entanglement with a Single Nanoplate

“Control over light-emitting properties of tiny semiconductor platelets may yield new opportunities for innovative optics utilizing quantum phenomena. The Science Ultrapowerful computers and sensors need entangled packets of light. Entangled means the packets, or photons, can be in one of …

A quadrillionth of a second in slow motion

“Many chemical processes run so fast that they are only roughly understood. To clarify these processes, a team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now developed a methodology with a resolution of quintillionths of a second. The new …

AMD Launches EPYC Embedded and Ryzen Embedded Processors for End-to-End “Zen” Experiences from the Core to the Edge

“AMD today introduced two new product families – the AMD EPYC™ Embedded 3000 processor and AMD Ryzen™ Embedded V1000 processor – to enter a new age for high-performance embedded processors. AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 brings the power of “Zen” to a variety …

Electrical implant could improve daily activities for people with spinal cord injuries: study

“An experimental treatment that sends electrical currents through the spinal cord has improved “invisible” yet debilitating side effects for a B.C. man with a spinal cord injury. A diving accident six years ago left Isaac Darrel, of Langley, British …

In a First, Tiny Diamond Anvils Trigger Chemical Reactions by Squeezing

“Experiments with ‘molecular anvils’ mark an important advance for mechanochemistry, which has the potential to make chemistry greener and more precise. Scientists have turned the smallest possible bits of diamond and other super-hard specks into “molecular anvils” that squeeze and …

LoRa World Record: 71,572km to Space and Back

“What you see below is a an honest-to-goodness LoRa carrier that is being received at 11.9024 GHz from SES-2. The total round trip distance from the uplink facility to our 2-cm antenna in Chicago is about 71,572km …

Reinventing the Inductor

“A new materials-based approach by Kaustav Banerjee yields a smaller, higher-performing alternative to the classic design A basic building block of modern technology, inductors are everywhere: cellphones, laptops, radios, televisions, cars. And surprisingly, they are essentially the same today as …

Researchers discover novel exciton interactions in carbon nanotubes

“In the study, a collaborative research team showed that Raman spectroscopy (a form of light scattering) can provide more extensive characterization of intertube excitons. Nanotechnology researchers studying small bundles of carbon nanotubes have discovered an optical signature showing excitons bound …

Researchers invent tiny, light-powered wires to modulate brain’s electrical signals

“The human brain largely remains a black box: How the network of fast-moving electrical signals turns into thought, movement and disease remains poorly understood. But it is electrical, so it can be hacked—the question is finding a precise, easy …
