A Glass Nanosphere Becomes First Macroscopic Object under Quantum Standstill in Free Space
Scientists at ETH Zurich were able to live in a glass nanosphere using laser light and slow down the motion to its lowest quantum mechanical…
Using Ocean Waves to Power Navigational Buoys
Traditional energy harvesting technologies, such as photovoltaic panels and wind turbines, have several limitations. In the absence of daylight and wind, neither can provide any…
New Dark Matter Sensor based on Quantum Crystals
The mechanical motion and electronic properties of a tiny blue crystal have been linked together, or “entangled,” by physicists at the National Institute of Standards…
Pure Energy is Transformed into Matter/Antimatter by Colliding with Light
Scientists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a user facility for nuclear physics research at the US Department of Energy’s Brookhaven…
Brilliant Colors are Displayed on the New Electronic Paper
Imagine sitting outside in the sun, reading on a digital screen as thin as paper, but with the same image quality as if you were…
In a Quantum Electronic Device, Scientists Take Snapshots of Ultrafast Switching
Scientists demonstrated a novel method of observing atoms as they move in a tiny quantum electronic switch. They discovered a new material state along the…
Future Electronics Require a Combination of Topology and Magnetism
A new review focuses on heterostructures of topological insulators and magnetic materials, where the interaction of magnetism and topology can produce exotic quantum phenomena that…
A More Accurate Method of Measuring Acceleration
To meet the growing demand for accurate acceleration measurement in smaller navigation systems and other devices, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology…
Identifying the Source of a Fatal Problem in the Combustors of Rocket Engines
Combustors, which are critical components of gas engines and are the chambers in which the combustion that powers the engine takes place, are prone to…
