Scientists in Japan have developed a way to recycle rice husks to create the first silicon quantum dot (SiQD) LED light.This new method transforms agricultural waste - 100 million tons of rice husk waste is produced per year - into light-emitting diodes in a low-cost, environmentally friendly way.
David Thouless, Duncan Haldane, and Michael Kosterlitz won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2016 for discovering that even microscopic matter at the smallest scale can exhibit macroscopic properties and phases that are topological. Watch this video to decode some seriously tricky science.
Hofstadter butterfly first appeared in 1976, in calculations of electrons in a two-dimensional material within a strong magnetic field. In a collaboration between Google and researchers at universities in California, Singapore and Greece, researchers have used photons in quantum chip to simulate the fractal pattern.
Ultrasecure quantum video chat demonstrates the potential for quantum communications across the globe.
A Chinese physicist hopes that quantum communications will span multiple countries by 2030. So ... what's it for?
The idea of parallel universes in quantum mechanics has been around since 1957. In the Many-Worlds Interpretation, each universe branches into a bunch of new universes every time a quantum measurement is made. All possibilities are therefore realized. In some universes the dinosaur-killing asteroid missed Earth.
Researchers in China have teleported a photon from the ground to a satellite orbiting more than 500 kilometers above.
Nanowerk, the leading nanotechnology portal, is committed to educate, inform and inspire about nanotechnologies, nanosciences, and other emerging techs
It seems that the D-Wave Computer does work, and the theory is that the hardware is 3,600 times faster than other supercomputers. It is the nearest we have to quantum computing, and there have been…
