Google’s quantum computer just simulated the hidden strings of the Universe
Scientists using Google’s quantum processor have taken a major step toward unraveling the deepest mysteries of the universe. By simulating fundamental interactions described by gauge theories, the team showed how particles and the invisible “strings” connecting...
Paragraf raises $55 million to expand graphene chip production
UK-based Paragraf, a company focused on producing graphene-based electronics with standard semiconductor processes, has secured $55 million in a Series C funding round. The funding was led by the United Arab Emirates' sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala.The funds will...
Scientists turn spin loss into energy, unlocking ultra-low-power AI chips
Scientists have discovered that electron spin loss, long considered waste, can instead drive magnetization switching in spintronic devices, boosting efficiency by up to three times. The scalable, semiconductor-friendly method could accelerate the development of...
New graphene-based sensor can help diagnose diabetes and prediabetes based on a breath sample
Researchers from Penn State, Hebei University of Technology and collaborators have developed a sensor that can help diagnose diabetes and prediabetes on-site in a few minutes using just a breath sample. The team's new work describes a highly sensitive acetone gas...
Stopping time in cells exposes life’s fastest secrets
Scientists have developed a groundbreaking cryo-optical microscopy technique that freezes living cells mid-action, capturing ultra-detailed snapshots of fast biological processes. By rapidly immobilizing cells at precise moments, researchers can overcome the...
Graphene molecular wires coupled with porphyrins enable magnetic and optical functions
Researchers from Empa, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research have developed a hybrid system in which porphyrins are attached to graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) in a precise and well-defined...
Tiny quantum dots unlock the future of unbreakable encryption
By using quantum dots and smart encryption protocols, researchers overcame a 40-year barrier in quantum communication, showing that secure networks don’t need perfect hardware to outperform today’s best systems.
Scientists discover forgotten particle that could unlock quantum computers
Scientists may have uncovered the missing piece of quantum computing by reviving a particle once dismissed as useless. This particle, called the neglecton, could give fragile quantum systems the full power they need by working alongside Ising anyons. What was once...
