“Quantum communication, which ensures absolute data security, is one of the most advanced branches of the “second quantum revolution”. In quantum communication, the participating parties can detect any attempt at eavesdropping by resorting to the fundamental principle of quantum mechanics …
“Tohoku University researchers have fabricated two types of trilayer graphene with different electrical properties - Researchers in Japan have found a way to form two materials, each made of three layers of graphene. Each material’s graphene is stacked differently and …
“Uppsala researcher Dr Laurent Duda and PhD student Felix Massel together with researchers at the University of Oxford, the University of Kent and the Paul Scherrer Institute have come a long way in finding future lithium-free batteries for devices such …
“With the Year of the Dog close at hand, a “robot dog” from ZJU makes its debut. This quadruped robot dog, called “Jueying”, is able to clamber up a steep slope, walk on thick snow and regain its balance even …
“A chemical bath and a hot-press can transform wood into a material that is stronger than steel, researchers report. The process, and others like it, could make the humble material an eco-friendly alternative to using plastics and metals in the …
“Synthesizing organic scaffolds that contain metal ions enables 3-D printing of metallic structures that are orders of magnitude smaller than previously possible For the first time, it is possible to create complex nanoscale metal structures using 3-D printing, thanks to …
“CSAIL’s NanoMap system enables drones to avoid obstacles while flying at 20 miles per hour, by more deeply integrating sensing and control. Companies like Amazon have big ideas for drones that can deliver packages right to your door. But …
“Rice University scientists simplify process to make polymers with light-triggered nanoparticles Rice University scientists plan to employ the power of the sun to build functional synthetic polymers using photosensitive quantum dots — microscopic semiconducting particles — as a catalyst. The luminescent dots …
“A Purdue University professor and a multi-institution team of researchers recently published a paper on solar cells in Nature Materials. Letian Dou, an assistant professor in the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering, worked on the article, “Thermochromic halide perovskite solar …
News Smartly containing the cloud increases computing efficiency, Virginia Tech researchers find in first-of-its-kind study
“Not too long ago booting up a computer meant there was time for a lengthy coffee break even before the workday started. For a decade now though, thanks to the cloud, computers have accessed information from virtual machines that exist …
