1+ day, 10+ hour ago   (475+ words) The sensors operate at a fraction of a degree above absolute zero. Researchers in the US have accurately measured X-ray emissions from a total of three radioactive elements, including uranium, plutonium and neptunium, with ultrasensitive quantum sensors. The sensors were…...

2+ day, 10+ hour ago   (468+ words) A deep-tech startup’s experimental nuclear fusion system has reportedly spotted signatures of a total of 32 elements, including noble gases, rare earths, and uranium. Hyderabad-based Hylenr Technologies, which develops low-energy nuclear reactor (LENR) tech, reported the findings after more than two…...

2+ day, 21+ hour ago   (474+ words) The world’s brightest synchrotron X‑ray source has completed its recent upgrade, and now delivers the brightness of its X-ray beams 500‑fold, enabling researchers to more precisely image atomic structures and track defect formation in real time....

4+ day, 12+ hour ago   (468+ words) The new prototype can run at -456.9 degrees Fahrenheit (-271.6 degrees Celsius). This is roughly 2.8 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the -459.6 degrees Fahrenheit (-273.13 degrees Celsius) required by superconducting quantum computers. Fujitsu said that the technology could lead to more powerful quantum computers by…...

6+ day, 14+ hour ago   (582+ words) A 50,000-fold boost in neutrino emission sounded possible on paper, but latest calculations show it won’t happen. Neutrinos are everywhere, passing through planets, stars, and our bodies by the trillions every second. Yet these elusive particles are notoriously difficult to…...

1+ week, 10+ hour ago   (360+ words) By embedding tiny dielectric structures inside the semiconductor, researchers created a laser that can control light in a new way. A laser does not always need a perfectly repeating pattern to produce a clean beam. The device produced single-mode lasing…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago   (380+ words) The result comes from a new device built by scientists at The University of Manchester’s National Graphene Institute and collaborators. It allowed the team to control electron interactions in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene more precisely than earlier experiments. Magic-angle graphene…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago   (365+ words) Researchers have developed a tiny semiconductor device that can change the frequency, or color, of light far more efficiently than conventional designs, potentially shrinking components used in telecommunications and quantum technologies. The device combines specially engineered semiconductor layers with a…...

1+ week, 2+ day ago   (529+ words) A newly measured surface state could help explain why partially oxidized copper behaves differently as a catalyst. Scientists have discovered that an oxygen-rich layer forming on copper surfaces during the earliest stages of oxidation behaves much more like metallic copper…...

1+ week, 2+ day ago   (397+ words) Inverted perovskite solar cells can reach an energy conversion efficiency of 24.6 percent when treated with a new chemical process. The performance marks a clear step up from standard versions of the device. The gains rely on a two-step method using…...
