Researchers have developed a method to evaluate and optimize the design of multimode quantum computers. Superconducting quantum processors must be operated at extremely low temperatures, achieved using dilution refrigerators. In multimode computers, these refrigerators must be connected via optical links that shuttle fragile quantum information.
Inspired by a visit to ORNL’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility, Jonaaron Jones launched a career in additive manufacturing that led to founding Volunteer Aerospace and now leading Beehive Industries’ external parts business.
It is becoming harder and harder to ignore the environmental costs of textiles, and demand is still growing by leaps and bounds each year.Â
Free electron lasers have unique advantages of high power, wide frequency tunablility and et al, however, they face challenge in narrowing the spectral linewidth. Scientists in China proposed and realized the pump-induced stimulated superradiant Smith-Purcell radiation (PIS-SPR) and achieved an ultra-narrow spectral linewidth of 0.3 kHz at ~0.3 THz in a compact device.
A new smart insole system that monitors how people walk in real time could help users improve posture and provide early warnings for conditions from plantar fasciitis to Parkinson’s disease.
An international research team coordinated at KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) has developed mechanical metamaterials with a high elastic energy density. Highly twisted rods that deform helically provide these metamaterials with a high stiffness and enable them to absorb and release large amounts of elastic energy. The researchers conducted simple compression experiments to confirm the initial theoretical results. Their findings have been published in the science journal Nature. (DOI: 10.1038/s41586-025-08658-z)
A new class of semiconductors that can store information in electric fields could enable computers that run on less power, sensors with quantum precision, and the conversion of signals between electrical, optical and acoustic forms—but how they maintained two opposite electric polarizations in the same material was a mystery.
Intelligent nanophotonics, combining nanophotonics and machine learning, is transforming optical information processing. This review highlights cutting-edge nanophotonic devices and the challenges to overcome for impactful technological advancements.
In the harsh environment of space—where microgravity, cosmic radiation, and isolation pose unprecedented health risks—flexible wearable devices have emerged as critical tools. These "smart skins" continuously monitor astronauts' vital signs, revolutionizing space medicine.
A major challenge in integrated photonics is achieving efficient non-reciprocal optical behavior. Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have demonstrated a non-reciprocal magneto-optic response by integrating the 2D material CuCrP₂S₆ (CCPS) onto silicon microring resonators.

Dr. Ho Seong Jang and colleagues at the Extreme Materials Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed an upconversion nanoparticle technology that introduces a core@multi-shell nanostructure, a multilayer structure in which multiple layers of shells surround a central core particle, and enables high color purity RGB light emission from a single nanoparticle by adjusting the infrared wavelength.
Scientists have developed a new fabrication technique that could improve noise robustness in superconducting qubits, a key technology to enabling large-scale quantum computers.
A research team led by Principal Researcher Dae-Hwan Kim at the Nuclear Equipment Verification Laboratory of the Busan Machinery Technology Research Center under the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (President Seog-Hyeon Ryu, hereinafter referred to as KIMM) has successfully developed and demonstrated this new technology using an incompressible fluid.
When materials are created on a nanometer scale — just a handful of atoms thick — even the thermal energy present at room temperature can cause structural ripples. How these ripples affect the mechanical properties of these thin materials can limit their use in electronics and other key systems. New research from Binghamton University, State University of New York validates theoretical models about how elasticity is scale-dependent — in other words, the elastic properties of a material are not constant, but vary with the size of the piece of material.
Superconductivity – the ability of some materials to conduct electricity with no energy loss – holds immense promise for new technologies from lossless power grids to advanced quantum devices.
Ahora, los investigadores de ACS Energy Letters informan que han desarrollado un mĂ©todo más limpio para extraer hierro de un mineral de hierro sintĂ©tico mediante un proceso electroquĂmico, que, segĂşn dicen, podrĂa competir con los altos hornos en tĂ©rminos de costos.
A new discovery has reshaped our understanding of PCR chip technology: water vapor, not air expansion, is the primary culprit behind bubble formation in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based chips. This revelation has led to the development of a high-pressure liquid seal technique that effectively eliminates bubbles and prevents water loss during the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process.
The Korea Institute of Energy Research (President Yi Chang-keun, hereinafter referred to as “KIER”) has successfully developed ultra-lightweight flexible perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cells and achieved a power conversion efficiency of 23.64%, which is the world’s highest efficiency of the flexible perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cells reported to date.
