The new detector is made of 32 niobium nitride superconducting nanowires on a silicon chip, which enables high count rates with high precision. Credit: Ryan Lannom, JPL-Caltech/NASA Researchers use a superconducting nanowire design for fast…
This electron micrograph documents the porous nature of the silica nanoparticles. These pores are large enough to allow entrance of a large number of NSA molecules. Here, they are protected until being taken up by…

Hearing is an essential part of daily life and good hearing is important for communication, learning, and overall quality of life. Poor hearing, also known as hearing loss or deafness, can have a significant impact…
How multiple qubits may be controlled using the new ‘intrinsic spin-orbit EDSR’ process. Credit: Tony Melov Discovery of previously unknown effect makes compact, ultra-fast control of spin qubits possible. Australian engineers have discovered a new…
Quantum computing is a type of computing that uses quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. It has the potential to solve certain problems much faster than classical computers and…
The Wi-Peep stands out due to its accessibility and portability. In addition, it was created by Abedi’s team using only a store-bought drone and a small amount of readily available hardware, costing only $20. The…
Sodium-sulfur batteries, also known as Na-S batteries, are a type of energy storage system that uses a molten mixture of sodium and sulfur as the electrolyte. A new battery has been developed that boasts four…
Researchers develop tools to help data scientists make the features used in machine-learning models more understandable for end users. Explanation methods that help users understand and trust machine-learning models often describe how much certain features…
