Fingerprints of quantum entanglement

“Quantum entanglement is a key feature of a quantum computer. Yet, how can we verify that a quantum computer indeed incorporates a large-scale entanglement? Using conventional methods is hard since they require a large number of repeated measurements. Aleksandra Dimić …

Long-Lived Mars Rover Opportunity Keeps Finding Surprises

“NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity keeps providing surprises about the Red Planet, most recently with observations of possible “rock stripes.” The ground texture seen in recent images from the rover resembles a smudged version of very distinctive stone stripes …

Missing link to novel superconductivity revealed at Ames Laboratory

“Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory have discovered a state of magnetism that may be the missing link to understanding the relationship between magnetism and unconventional superconductivity. The research, recently published in npj Nature Quantum …

New hole-punched crystal clears a path for quantum light

“Optical highways for light are at the heart of modern communications. But when it comes to guiding individual blips of light called photons, reliable transit is far less common. Now, a collaboration of researchers from the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI …

New sensor tech for commercial Lithium-ion batteries finds they can be charged 5 times faster

“Researchers at WMG at the University of Warwick have developed a new direct, precise test of Lithium-ion batteries’ internal temperatures and their electrodes potentials and found that the batteries can be safely charged up to five times faster than the …

Quantum for All

“Through a Cottrell Scholar Award, Nathaniel Craig will formalize a learning assistants’ program in a key upper-division physics course The wisdom of experience goes a long way. That may hold especially true in complex topics such as quantum mechanics. When …

Researchers demonstrate promising method for improving quantum information processing

“A team of researchers led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has demonstrated a new method for splitting light beams into their frequency modes. The scientists can then choose the frequencies they want to work with …

Scientists develop harvesting robots that could revolutionise farming practices

“Scientists at the University of Plymouth are developing ground-breaking technology which could assist fruit and vegetable growers with the challenges they face in harvesting crops. Increasing demand for home grown produce, coupled with concern about workforce shortages in the wake …

Today`s Highest Quality Composite-Piezoelectric Developed at NUST MISIS

“NUST MISIS scientists jointly with an international group of scientists have managed to develop a composite material that has the best piezoelectric properties today. The research results were published in Scientific Reports journal. Piezoelectrics are one of the worlds …

Yandex.Taxi’s Self-Driving Car Conducts Winter Testing on Moscow’s Public Streets

“Last week the Yandex.Taxi driverless car team passed another major milestone on our mission to achieve a level 5 self-driving car, which began with the May 2017 prototype launch. The Yandex.Taxi autonomous car safely navigated the streets of …
