Superconducting qubit and magnetic sphere hybrid
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have demonstrated that it is possible to exchange a quantum bit, the minimum unit of information used by quantum computers, between a superconducting quantum-bit circuit and a quantum in a magnet called a magnon ("Coherent coupling between a ferromagnetic magnon and a superconducting qubit"). This result is expected...
Superfast fluorescence sets new speed record
Researchers have developed an ultrafast light-emitting device that can flip on and off 90 billion times a second and could form the basis of optical computing. At its most basic level, your smart phone's battery is powering billions of transistors using electrons to flip on and off billions of times per second. But if microchips could use photons instead...
The future with nanoionics
Living systems such as the brain conduct electric signals via ions – charged atoms or molecules – rather than electrons. Like the living ones, artificial systems that run on ions could in some ways be more efficient than today’s electronic devices. Nanoionics is a new area of research in which ionic currents are conducted on the scale of nanometers;...
Graphene - from science fundamentals to low-cost production
Keynote presentations on the third day of Graphene Week 2015 offered an eclectic mix of fundamental science and practical chemical engineering. Here we report briefly on each of the talks, beginning with an introduction to optoelectronics in 2d semiconductors and heterostructures, and concluding with...
Changing the color of light
Researchers at the University of Delaware have received a $1 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation to explore a new idea that could improve solar cells, medical imaging and even cancer treatments. Simply put, they want to change the color of light. They won’t be tinkering with what you see out your window: no purple days or chartreuse nights,...
A 'nanomachine' for surgery with no incision
A surgical operation has long been considered one of the first options in cancer treatment; however, a number of issues have been recognized: a highly invasive procedure; a decline in the Quality of Life (QOL) after an operation; the possibility of a recurrence due to missed cancer cells; extended hospitalization,...
