Let there be (controlled) light
In the very near future, quantum computers are expected to revolutionize the way we compute, with new approaches to database searches, AI systems, simulations and more. But to achieve such novel quantum technology applications, photonic integrated circ…
Novel air filter captures wide variety of pollutants
An air filter made out of corn protein instead of petroleum products can concurrently capture small particulates as well as toxic chemicals like formaldehyde that current air filters can’t. The research could lead to better air purifiers, particularly …
Theory can sort order from chaos in complex quantum systems
Theoretical chemists have developed a theory that can predict the threshold at which quantum dynamics switches from ‘orderly’ to ‘random,’ as shown through research using large-scale computations on photosynthesis models.
