Shorubalko, Kara, and their colleagues at Empa and ETH Zurich recently published a study in ACS Photonics detailing a detector that is smaller than the wavelength of the light it measures.
For controlling prosthetics, the body’s signals must be detected to move the artificial limb. At the moment, implanting electrodes is the most common technique but this is invasive and electrodes can deteriorate or move position.
Researchers developed and tested a questionnaire on quantum measurement, revealing that two-state teaching methods enhance student comprehension in physics.

Quantum computers are built of elementary operations called quantum gates that are similar to the logic gates in classical computers. Logic gates are devices that perform very basic data processing-;instructions such as "and," "or," or "not."
According to a study published in APL Photonics, physicists at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) have created a novel computing system that uses laser beams and common display technology, representing a big step forward in the search for more powerful quantum computing solutions.
Researchers at Loughborough University have made progress in understanding how to fine-tune the behavior of electrons in quantum materials, according to a study published in Nature Communications.
Theoretical physicists demonstrate that non-invertible symmetries are quantum operations, bridging gaps between particle physics and quantum information theory.
Interference (excess noise) to quantum signals from sunlight has slowed down the creation of a global scale quantum communications network but now physicists at Heriot-Watt University have proposed a way to tackle this ‘daylight noise’ issue, paving the way for all-day satellite transmission.
Engineers transformed smartphones into scientific instruments, mapping the ionosphere and enhancing GPS accuracy using real-time data from millions of devices.

Nuclear fission -; when the nucleus of an atom splits in two, releasing energy -; may seem like a process that is fully understood. First discovered in 1939 and thoroughly studied ever since, fission is a constant factor in modern life, used in everything from nuclear medicine to power-generating nuclear reactors.
AlphaQubit, a recurrent-transformer neural network, outperforms state-of-the-art decoders in quantum error correction, enhancing surface code decoding accuracy.
