Researchers Capture Rapid Choral Dance of Electrons on Super-small Particles
As reported in Science Advances, an international team of researchers observed how electrons, excited by ultrafast light pulses, danced in unison around a particle less than…
Scientists Discover Heat-resistant Kelp Strain
Kelp is being negatively impacted by climate change. Warming ocean temperatures have led to shorter growing and harvesting seasons, including for sugar kelp, one of…
On the Quantum Level, Macroscopic Oscillators move together
Quantum technologies are radically transforming our understanding of the universe. One emerging technology are macroscopic mechanical oscillators, devices that are vital in quartz watches, mobile…
Nanoscale Engineering of Quantum Entanglement
Physicists have spent more than a century measuring and making sense of the strange ways that photons, electrons, and other subatomic particles interact at extremely…
A Novel Testing setup to Introduce Students to Quantum Technology
The world of quantum physics is experiencing a second revolution, which will drive an exponential leap in the progress of computing, the internet, telecommunications, cybersecurity…
Supramolecular Qubit Candidates Discovered – New Directions in Quantum Research
The Franco-German research team, including members from the University of Freiburg, shows that supramolecular chemistry enables efficient spin communication through hydrogen bonds. Qubits are the…
Including Bridges to make Quantum Networks more Stable
While entangled photons hold incredible promise for quantum computing and communications, they have a major inherent disadvantage. After one use, they simply disappear. In a…
AI can Feel and Measure Surfaces, allowing for Invisible Contact
AI-based technologies are rapidly learning to see, converse, calculate and create. One thing they still don’t do well, however, is measure or “feel” surfaces —…
A New Idea explains the Form of a Single Photon
A new theory, that explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level has enabled researchers to define for the first time the precise…
Deciphering the Unusual Features of Water
Water, a molecule essential for life, has unusual properties — known as anomalies — that define its behaviour. However, there are still many enigmas about the molecular…
Scientists Discover a Novel Method for Entangling Light and Sound
