Researchers have designed smart, color-controllable white light devices from quantum dots — tiny semiconductors just a few billionths of a meter in size — which are more efficient and have better color saturation than standard […]

Scientists embedded elementary particles called muons into a many-layered nickel oxide superconductor to learn more about its magnetic properties. They discovered that waves of flip-flopping electron spins create magnetic excitations that sweep through the nickel […]
Researchers have identified highly ionized species of the famous soccer ball-shaped ‘Buckminsterfullerene’ C60 molecule as plausible carriers of at least some of the most prominent and enigmatic Unidentified Infrared Emission (UIE) bands that have challenged […]
A method known as quantum key distribution has long held the promise of communication security unattainable in conventional cryptography. An international team of scientists has now demonstrated experimentally, for the first time, an approach to […]
An international team has successfully implemented an advanced form of quantum cryptography for the first time. Moreover, encryption is independent of the quantum device used and therefore even more secure against hacking attempts. Click to […]
Physicists are claiming significant progress in using quantum computers to study and predict how the state of a large number of interacting quantum particles evolves over time. This was done by developing a quantum algorithm […]
Researchers discover that nickel oxide superconductors contain a phase of quantum matter, known as charge density waves, that’s common in other unconventional superconductors. In other ways, though, they’re surprisingly unique. Unconventional superconductors contain a mix […]
About three years ago, a team of astronomers went looking for the universe’s missing mass, better known as dark matter, in the heart of an atom. Their expedition didn’t lead them to dark matter, but […]
For decades computers have been synonymous with binary information — zeros and ones. Now a team has realized a quantum computer that breaks out of this paradigm and unlocks additional computational resources, hidden in almost […]
Supercomputer simulations are helping scientists discover new high-entropy alloys. XSEDE allocations on TACC’s Stampede2 supercomputer supported density function theory calculations for largest database yet of high-entropy alloy properties. Deep Sets architecture generated predictive models on […]
