Did you think that quantum physics is complicated? Try the quantum theory of pixels, as explained by 8-bit Professor Hawking. More »
Stealthy radar systems and the ability to transmit large amounts of data over long distances are a step closer thanks to a technique that could improve the efficiency of modern optics by a factor of 1000. More »
The problem with messages is that you can’t be sure who might pick them up at the other end. But a new scheme for a quantum communications ensures only a recipient in exactly the right location can read their message. More »
I’ve had a nit to pick with LED lights and their sterile glow. But quantum dots—tiny crystals that emit a specific color—could be added to LEDs to alter their photonic output. Wee! More »
Yale researchers just made the first, albeit simple, quantum processor. The processor is made of two artificial atoms (each made of a billion aluminium atoms) that act like single atoms that can occupy two distinct states. More »
