Scientists find way to make quantum states last 10,000 times longer
If we can harness it, quantum technology promises fantastic new possibilities.
But first, scientists need to coax quantum systems to stay yoked for longer than...
Black silicon photodetector breaks the 100% efficiency limit
Scientists have developed a black silicon photodetector that has reached above 130% efficiency.
Thus, for the first time, a photovoltaic device has exceeded the 100%...
Yale physicists create an error-correcting cat for quantum computers
Yale physicists have developed an error-correcting cat -- a new device that combines the Schrödinger's cat concept of superposition (a physical system existing in...
Scientists find the remnant of an ancient globular cluster
Scientists discovered a stellar stream composed of the remnants of an ancient globular cluster that was torn apart by the Milky Way's gravity 2...
Scientists create new device to light up the way for quantum technologies
Researchers at CRANN and Trinity College Dublin have created an innovative new device that will emit single particles of light, or photons, from quantum...
Radiation could slow corrosion of some materials, says study
In certain alloys, exposure to proton irradiation can extend the material’s lifetime, study finds.
Radiation nearly always degrades the materials exposed to it, hastening their...
New quantum breakthrough could offer new direction for communication tech
Quantum communication has the potential to become the ultimate secure communication channel.
Not only is it nearly impossible to eavesdrop on quantum communication, but those...
Scientists detect black hole swallows much smaller mysterious object
In August of 2019, the LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave network witnessed the merger of a black hole with 23 times the mass of our sun and...
New gold nanoparticle could purify water of difficult pollutants
Researchers have found a promising technology for clearing water of pollutants: a new nanoparticle that converts light to heat.
Trace amounts of contaminants such as...
Black hole collision may have exploded with light
When two black holes spiral around each other and ultimately collide, they send out ripples in space and time called gravitational waves.
Because black holes...
