University of Delft researchers have made a tiny but significant step toward the establishment of a quantum internet, the next-generation network that will connect the…

Unexpectedly complicated quantum behaviors have been discovered in a crystal with a deceptively basic formula. The electron interactions within the crystal are significantly more complex…

The electric power grid operates on a delicate balance of supply (generation) and demand (consumer use). One method for balancing fluctuations in electricity supply and…

Researchers have created a silicon-based optical communications link that can improve data-intensive internet applications ranging from video streaming services to high-capacity stock market transactions. This…

Developing quantum communications is a significant step forward in data security, but without a network to facilitate information exchange, the effectiveness and utility of that…

Researchers made a new discovery about how light behaves in complex media, which distorts light significantly. They demonstrated that ‘distortion’ is a matter of perspective…

With the growing popularity of electric vehicles, there is an increased demand for high-capacity batteries, emphasizing the importance of monitoring battery health. With the widespread…

Atoms and molecules, the fundamental constituents of matter, interact with one another. They are attracted over long distances, but interactions are strongly repulsive over short…

Because quantum computers operate at extremely low temperatures, where the processor acts as a superconductor, they are expected to return power consumption 100 to 1000…

Quantum sensing is a sophisticated sensor technology that vastly improves the accuracy with which we measure, navigate, study, explore, see, and interact with the world…
