Using the principles of quantum mechanics, scientists are unlocking incredible computing powers one experiment at a time.
Results for "quantum computer"
Gentle laser processing of perovskites at the nanoscale
Scientists have developed a method for precise, fast, and high-quality laser processing of halide perovskites, promising light-emitting materials for solar energy, optical electronics, and metamaterials.
Faster, more efficient memory cells at super cold temperatures
Scientists developed cryogenic memory cells that could be orders of magnitude faster than existing memories while consuming very little power.
Topological phase transitions: 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics 2016 with one half to David J. Thouless and the other half to F. Duncan M. Haldane and J. Michael Kosterlitz for theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter.
