The transmitting coil could be built into a wall or ceiling, the researchers …
Illustration by Jay Penni. Researchers used a top-down nanofabrication technique to embed color centers into a variety of machined structures. By creating large device arrays rather than just “one-of-a-kind” designs, the realization of quantum networks and systems, which require the integration and manipulation of many devices in parallel, is more likely. By creating diamond-based nanowire …
1. Researchers at IBM have increased the efficiency of a novel type of solar cell made largely from cheap and abundant materials by over 40 percent. According to an article published this week in the journal Advanced Materials, the new efficiency is 9.6 percent, up from the previous record of 6.7 percent for this type …
Princeton University’s Jason Petta has demonstrated a method that alters the properties of a lone electron without disturbing the trillions of electrons in its immediate surroundings. The feat is essential to the development of future varieties of superfast computers with near-limitless capacities for data. Petta, an assistant professor of physics, has fashioned a new method …
The UK Telegraph reports: researchers in Holland have created what was described as ”soggy pork” and are investigating ways to improve the muscle tissue in the hope that people will one day want to eat it. They have not tasted the product, but it is believed the artificial meat could be on sale within five …
