Pioneers in Science: Katherine Johnson
In honor of the UN’s International Day of Women in Science, this week we highlight Katherine Johnson, pioneering mathematician and NASA legend.
Octopus suckers inspire soft robotic arms
The remarkably agile arms of the octopus are a source of inspiration for the design of autonomous robots. With nearly two-thirds of their neurons residing in the eight arms, these appendages are able to sense and respond to environmental conditions with little to no...
Strong Light–Matter Coupling in Molecular and Material Engineering
Strong light-matter coupling is a new tool to mold chemical reactivity and material properties that intertwine material science and quantum mechanics.
Discovery of an Unusual Quasiparticle in a 2D Material
An electric field tunable quasiparticle discovered in a common 2D material has great potential for application in optoelectronic devices.
Superconducting Nanowires for Single Photon Detection
An updated overlook at one of the most promising building blocks for quantum technologies: fast and efficient single photon detectors.
Environmental Noise and Coherence Time in Quantum Dot Qubits
Predicting the experimental conditions that enhance coherence times for semiconducting quantum dot hybrid qubits.
Pioneers in Science: Konstantin Novoselov
Today Advanced Science News celebrates the 45th birthday of Nobel Laureate Sir Konstantin Novoselov.
The Toroidization of Quantum Matter
A novel scheme for an ultrafast generation of a toroidal moment and a field-free vector potential is uncovered.
Sterilizing Qualities of Cold Atmospheric Plasma Affected by Gas Composition
Analyzing the impact of gas composition on the bactericidal efficiency, plasma parameters, and species formation in a cold atmospheric plasma jet in contact with water.
Pioneers in Science: Gabriel Lippmann
Today Advanced Science News celebrates the 174th birthday of Gabriel Lippmann, the French physicist who produced the first color photographs.
A Quantum Autoencoder via Quantum Adders
A quantum autoencoder via approximate quantum adders in the Rigetti cloud quantum computer is carried out employing up to three qubits.
A Step Toward Quantum-Coherent Circuits
A train of single-electrons propagating on top of the Fermi sea of a mesoscopic conductor can be used for time-domain spectroscopy of quantum-coherent structures.
