  1. The Dispute About The Origins Of Terahertz Photoresponse In Graphene Results In A Draw 4/24/2018

    Physicists at MIPT and their British and Russian colleagues revealed the mechanisms leading to photocurrent in graphene under terahertz radiation.

  2. Quantum Supremacy Milestone Harnesses ORNL Summit Supercomputer 10/23/2019

    A joint research team from Google Inc., NASA Ames Research Center, and the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has demonstrated that a quantum computer can outperform a classical computer at certain tasks, a feat known as quantum supremacy.

  3. New Quantum Random Number Generator Could Improve Security For Portable Devices 7/23/2018

    Researchers have shown that a chip-based device measuring a millimeter square could be used to generate quantum-based random numbers at gigabit per second speeds.

  4. Researchers Advance 'Quantum Teleportation' 11/20/2014

    The world at the quantum level, at the scale of particles too small for the eye to see, is very strange. It's possible, for instance, to have two particles that are "entangled" -- that is, they function as if they were connected, even if they are many miles away from each other.

  8. Xenics At DCS: Xenics SWIR Technology Driving Flexible Innovations 4/22/2016

    Xenics demonstrated its technology innovations for perimeter protection of sensitive public and industrial areas, focusing on its comprehensive portfolio of SWIR products at the SPIE DCS 2016. The focus is on SWIR technology innovation for the protection of sensitive public and industrial areas. New product introductions are the compact/low-cost SWIR camera module XSW-320 and the unique Bobcat-320-Gated for SWIR gated imaging applications.

  9. Quantum Computers Getting Connected 11/29/2021

    Research into superfast quantum computers is now well advanced, but it is not yet possible to connect the individual processors. An international research team with participation from the University of Stuttgart has now shown a way to scale quantum computers using nanophotonic silicon carbide structures to solve the problems. The results had been published in the journal Nature Materials.

  10. 'Metascreen' Forms Ultra-Thin Invisibility Cloak 3/26/2013

    Up until now, the invisibility cloaks put forward by scientists have been fairly bulky contraptions – an obvious flaw for those interested in Harry Potter-style applications.
