4+ hour, 19+ min ago   (625+ words) Silicon has long dominated the solar industry, but its fundamental physics imposes hard limits on how much sunlight a single-junction cell can convert into electricity. Photons with less energy than silicon’s band gap simply pass through the material, while photons…...

14+ hour, 24+ min ago   (261+ words) Quantum computers have the potential to solve complex problems that no supercomputer today can handle. In the foreseeable future, quantum technology's computing power is expected to revolutionise fundamental ways of solving problems in medicine, energy, encryption, AI, and logistics. "The…...

1+ day, 9+ hour ago   (270+ words) This peak doesn’t simply indicate a change in density; it signals “an inflection point in the equation of state,” effectively delineating a boundary between underdoped and overdoped metallic regimes at large interactions. Further investigation utilizing lattice modulation spectroscopy provided complementary…...

1+ day, 9+ hour ago   (1212+ words) Ivy Delaney has been working with neural networks and machine learning since the mid-nineties, back when a couple of hidden layers and a long afternoon of training counted as ambitious. She has watched the field go from academic curiosity to…...

1+ day, 13+ hour ago   (817+ words) Magnons now move slower than previously calculated due to an unexpected ‘dressing’ by surrounding quantum particles, revealing a direct link between speed and unseen entanglement. Increasing on-site repulsion weakens this connection and diminishes any resulting paired states formed when magnons…...

1+ day, 8+ hour ago   (820+ words) Post-quantum security is neither a product nor a date, but a set of new algorithms with larger keys and a handshake that carries two kilobytes more. It is also an inventory that has to stay current, and a small number…...

10+ hour ago   (32+ words) Image generated using Open AI From Planck Length to Planck Consciousness What if the building blocks of reality are not particles, but measurements? This is one of the ideas …...

10+ hour, 34+ min ago   (55+ words) Topological photonics has spent the past decade borrowing one of the most powerful ideas in modern condensed-matter physics: the notion that certain states of light can be protected from imperfections in much the same way that conducting edge states are…...

14+ hour, 50+ min ago   (514+ words) Researchers at Harvard have demonstrated a way to protect quantum information using microscopic sound waves. By continuously surrounding a diamond-based qubit with mechanical vibrations, they extended its coherence time by roughly threefold. The same phonons could eventually both transmit and…...
