By using quantum dots and smart encryption protocols, researchers overcame a 40-year barrier in quantum communication, showing that secure networks don't need perfect hardware to outperform today's best systems.
Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that a small bench-top reactor can enhance nuclear fusion rates by electrochemically loading a metal with deuterium fuel. Unlike massive magnetic confinement reactors, their experiment uses ...
Researchers at Zhejiang University have found a way to stop performance-killing Auger recombination in perovskite lasers, using a clever additive during processing. Their method produced a record-breaking laser with unprecedented efficiency, pointing ...
Scientists may have uncovered the missing piece of quantum computing by reviving a particle once dismissed as useless. This particle, called the neglecton, could give fragile quantum systems the full power they need by working alongside Ising anyons. ...
Scientists studying asteroids found that two seemingly unrelated types share a strange dusty coating of troilite. By using polarization of light instead of traditional spectra, they uncovered evidence that these space rocks may have originated from . ...
Earth may already be broadcasting its presence to alien civilizations without realizing it. A new study shows that our deep-space transmissions, especially those aimed at Mars and interplanetary spacecraft, spill over into space in detectable ...
Astronomers may have uncovered the origins of the mysterious "little red dots," some of the strangest galaxies seen in the early universe. These tiny but brilliant objects, discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope, appear far too compact and ...
Astronomers using AI have captured a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic event: a massive star's violent death triggered by its black hole companion. The explosion, known as SN 2023zkd, not only produced a brilliant supernova but also shocked scientists by ...
Scientists are rethinking the universe's deepest mysteries using numerical relativity, complex computer simulations of Einstein's equations in extreme conditions. This method could help explore what happened before the Big Bang, test theories of ...
A research team has created a quantum logic gate that uses fewer qubits by encoding them with the powerful GKP error-correction code. By entangling quantum vibrations inside a single atom, they achieved a milestone that could transform how quantum .. ...
