Ultrafast Laser Pulses Could Lessen Data Storage Energy Needs

“A discovery from an experiment with magnets and lasers could be a boon to energy-efficient data storage. “We wanted to study the physics of light-magnet interaction,” said Rahul Jangid, who led the data analysis for the project while earning his …

University of Bristol researchers develop world’s smallest quantum light detector on a silicon chip

“Researchers at the University of Bristol have made an important breakthrough in scaling quantum technology by integrating the world’s tiniest quantum light detector onto a silicon chip. A critical moment in unlocking the information age was when scientists and …

Unveiling Molecular Origami: A Breakthrough in Dynamic Materials

“Origami, traditionally associated with paper folding, has transcended its craft origins to influence a diverse range of fields, including art, science, engineering, and architecture. Recently, origami principles have extended to technology, with applications spanning solar cells to biomedical devices. While …

UTA Chemist Developing Method To Recycle More Plastics

“Despite consumer efforts to sort and separate recyclables, most plastic bottles still end up in the landfill. Standard recycling methods to sort, shred and remake plastics are limited to just type-1 and type-2 plastics — basically only soda bottles, water bottles …

UW–Madison scientists develop most sensitive way to observe single molecules

“Scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have developed the most sensitive method yet for detecting and profiling a single molecule — unlocking a new tool that holds potential for better understanding how the building blocks of matter interact with each …

UW Researchers Unlock Potential of 2D Magnetic Devices for Future Computing

“Imagine a future where computers can learn and make decisions in ways that mimic human thinking, but at a speed and efficiency that are orders of magnitude greater than the current capability of computers. A research team at the University …

Wavefunction matching for solving quantum many-body problems

“Strongly interacting systems play an important role in quantum physics and quantum chemistry. Stochastic methods such as Monte Carlo simulations are a proven method for investigating such systems. However, these methods reach their limits when so-called sign oscillations occur. This …

What Are the Risks of Hydrogen Vehicles in Tunnels?

“In addition to electric vehicles, hydrogen-powered vehicles are also seen as an alternative to conventionally powered vehicles. However, an increase in the number of such cars with fuel cells (fuel cell electric vehicles — FCEVs) would also result in completely new …

A blueprint for making quantum computers easier to program

“A CSAIL study highlights why it is so challenging to program a quantum computer to run a quantum algorithm, and offers a conceptual model for a more user-friendly quantum computer. When MIT professor and now Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence …

A new type of cooling for quantum simulators

“Quantum experiments always have to deal with the same problem, regardless of whether they involve quantum computers, quantum teleportation or new types of quantum sensors: quantum effects break down very easily. They are extremely sensitive to external disturbances — for example …
