If you’re like us, you’ve never spent a second thinking about what happens when you dunk an ordinary LED into liquid nitrogen. That’s too bad because as it turns out, …read more Continue reading Neopixels? Try Liquid Nitrogen to Color Shift Your LEDs Instead
Solar power is an excellent way of generating electricity, whether that’s for an off-grid home or for the power grid. With no moving parts maintenance is relatively low, and the …read more Continue reading Bending Light to Fit Technology
Researchers have created the world’s smallest silicon LED and holographic microscope that opens up a wide range of potential applications, including turning your smartphone camera into a portable, high-resolution microscope.Continue ReadingCategory: Sc… Continue reading World’s smallest LED could turn your phone camera into a high-res microscope
Scientists at Caltech have created a quantum microscope that taps into the quirky quantum rules to see tiny details much more clearly. Using pairs of entangled photons allows the instrument to double the resolution of images without damaging the sample… Continue reading Quantum microscope taps “spooky” physics to double resolution of images
Scientists have demonstrated a powerful technique that will allow quantum computers to store much more information in photons of light. The team managed to encode eight levels of data into photons and read it back easily, representing an exponential le… Continue reading “64-dimensional quantum space” drastically boosts quantum computing
Physicists at the Max Planck Institute have developed an efficient new method to drive the quantum entanglement of photons, and demonstrated it by entangling a record number of photons. The technique could be a boon for quantum computers.Continue Readi… Continue reading Quantum entanglement record set with largest cluster of photons so far
Solar cells are one of the most important technologies in the transition to renewable energy, but there’s still plenty of room for improvement. Researchers at New York University (NYU) Tandon have now developed a thin film that boosts solar cell effici… Continue reading Film captures wasted wavelengths of light to boost solar cell efficiency
Scientists have created a “quantum flute” that can coax photons to move in sync and interact with each other, which they almost never do in nature. The device could help improve future quantum computer designs.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, Science… Continue reading “Quantum flute” gets light moving in way never seen before
Researchers at the University of Sydney have developed a new type of radar that can measure objects down to centimeters. The new technique uses a photonic system to generate much higher bandwidth signals, enabling radar that can detect smaller objects … Continue reading Advanced photonic radar captures images down to the centimeter scale
Quantum computers could one day blow boring old classical computers out of the water, but so far their complexity limits their usefulness. Engineers at Stanford have now demonstrated a new relatively simple design for a quantum computer where a single … Continue reading Simplified quantum computer can be made with off-the-shelf components
