A 60-mode entangled state has been created on a chip, breaking records and unlocking scalable quantum light generation. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Researchers in China have achieved a major leap in quantum photonics by generating a massive…
The green laser excites charge carriers in the NV centers, which are then captured by surface states. The scanning tip moves over the surface and measures a potential difference around an NV center. The spin…
A new insect-inspired flying robot created by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, can hover, change trajectory and even hit small targets. The flying robot is less than 1 centimeter in diameter and is…
NUS scientists have made a standard silicon transistor mimic brain functions, paving the way for efficient, scalable AI hardware using existing chip technology. NUS researchers have shown that a single transistor can replicate both neural…
On Friday, amid a tariff-induced frenzy that drove hordes of consumers to panic-buy iPhones, President Trump announced a tariff exemption on electronics like smartphones and computers. For a moment, widespread anxiety about a potential $2,000…
DNA strand displacement circuits are inching closer to becoming cellular machines. Scientists are finding ways to make these programmable nanodevices stable and functional inside living cells. If successful, they could revolutionize how we interface with…
Researchers at UMass Amherst developed a novel method for aligning 3D semiconductor chips using laser light and concentric metalenses, projecting holograms that reveal even atomic-scale misalignments. This breakthrough could reduce chip manufacturing costs, enable advanced…
With all the talk about tariffs driving up costs, the word “cheaper” should bring comfort to just about anyone. That’s why I’m delighted to share that the cheaper smartphone from Google has arrived, a few…
