| Breakthrough in quantum photonics promises a new era in optical circuits Posted: 05 Feb 2021 12:01 PM PST Researchers have shown that single photons can be emitted in a uniform way from quantum dots arranged in a precise pattern. The team has used such methods to create single-quantum dots, with their remarkable single-photon emission characteristics. It is expected that the ability to precisely align uniformly-emitting quantum dots will enable the production of optical circuits, potentially leading to novel advancements in quantum computing and communications technologies. |
| New way to power up nanomaterials for electronic applications Posted: 05 Feb 2021 12:01 PM PST Materials scientists have discovered that perovskites, a class of promising materials that could be used for low-cost, high-performance solar cells and LEDs, have a previously unutilized molecular component that can further tune the electronic property of perovskites. |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2021 09:12 AM PST Primeval forests are of great importance for biodiversity and global carbon and water cycling. The three-dimensional structure of forests plays an important role because it influences processes of gas and energy exchange with the atmosphere, and provides habitats for numerous species. An international research team investigated the variety of different complex structures found in the world's forests, and the factors that explain this diversity. |
| Engineers develop programming technology to transform 2D materials into 3D shapes Posted: 05 Feb 2021 05:57 AM PST Researchers have developed a technique that programs 2D materials to transform into complex 3D shapes. |
| Switching nanolight on and off Posted: 04 Feb 2021 04:25 PM PST The report demonstrates a new method to control the flow of light of nanolight. Optical manipulation on the nanoscale, or nanophotonics, has become a critical area of interest as researchers seek ways to meet the increasing demand for technologies that go well beyond what is possible with conventional photonics and electronics. |
| 'Audeo' teaches artificial intelligence to play the piano Posted: 04 Feb 2021 04:25 PM PST A team created Audeo, a system that can generate music using only visual cues of someone playing the piano. |
| 'Where did I park my car?' Brain stimulation improves mental time travel Posted: 04 Feb 2021 11:40 AM PST A new study improved memory of complex, realistic events similar to these by applying transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to the brain network responsible for memory. The authors then had participants watch videos of realistic activities to measure how memory works during everyday tasks. The findings prove it is possible to measure and manipulate realistic types of memory. |
