Around 25 years ago, the first proposal on how to convey quantum information through quantum repeaters for long distances, opening the path to the development of a universal quantum information network was made by theoretical physicists at the University of Innsbruck.
A joint research proposal by Queen Mary University of London and QinetiQ for the future development of electromagnetic materials has been awarded £2.6 million by the Engineering and Physical Research Council (ESPRC).
Quantum dots (QDs) display excitonic capabilities with adjustable absorption and emission features for contemporary photonics as a result of the size-dependent quantum confinement effects.
A University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led team has developed a first-of-its-kind breakthrough method that makes it easier to create high-quality metal oxide films that are important for various next generation applications such as quantum computing and microelectronics.
Better comprehending the development of swirling, ring-shaped disturbances—called vortex rings—can aid nuclear fusion scientists compress fuel more resourcefully, thereby bringing it nearer to turning into a feasible energy source.
Two UK-based space companies, Oxford Space Systems (OSS) and Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL), have come together to build a knitted satellite that is compact and lightweight on launch, and when in orbit, it unfurls a 3-meter parabolic reflector, or to be more precise and technical, wrapped rib antenna mounted to a CarbSAR satellite.

After years of pioneering work, researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have completed the detector towers that will soon sit at the heart of the SuperCDMS SNOLAB dark matter detection experiment.
Depending on the inherent unpredictability of quantum mechanics, quantum random number generators (QRNGs) generate genuine randomness.
Conducting new experiments by making use of one-dimensional gases of ultra-cold atoms discloses a generality in how quantum systems made of several particles get altered over time after a huge influx of energy that flings the system out of equilibrium.
The theory of relativity works well when you want to explain cosmic-scale phenomena - such as the gravitational waves created when black holes collide.
The first close-ups of a source of energetic particles ejected from the Sun were observed by the researchers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI). These close-ups were viewed from just half an astronomical unit (AU), or nearly 46.5 million miles.
No one will ever be able to see a purely mathematical construct such as a perfect sphere.
An astronomers’ group headed by the University of Southampton has revealed the biggest cosmic explosion ever noticed.
A team of researchers led by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Trevor David Rhone, assistant professor in the Department of Physics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy, has identified novel van der Waals (vdW) magnets using cutting-edge tools in artificial intelligence (AI).
Scientists have found a new generic production mechanism of gravitational waves produced by a phenomenon called oscillons.
