Physicists at the University of Vienna have watched gramicidin, a natural antibiotic made up of 15 amino acids, interfere with itself, in an experiment that paves the way for a new era of quantum biology.
Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) scientists have discovered a pioneering laser-driven approach to generate a topological state in graphene. In topological materials, current actually flows orthogonally to an applied voltage.
A group of scientists led by Artem Oganov of Skoltech and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and Ivan Troyan of the Institute of Crystallography of RAS has succeeded in synthesizing thorium decahydride (ThH10),
Aalto University researchers are designing a brain-imaging device that uses a new type of sensor placed on the surface of a person’s head. The new sensors employ quantum optics, allowing them to reduce the distance
In a recent publication in Nature Materials”, a group of French researchers was able to image and understand a novel type of chiral spin-textures occurring on BiFeO3’s domain-walls, which had never been observed before. One
A molecule of ammonia, NH3, typically exists as an umbrella shape, a very stable structure that would normally be expected to require a large amount of energy to be inverted. Researchers at MIT and Seoul
Researchers at Bar-Ilan University demonstrate that long sequences with certified randomness by the US National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) are far from being truly random. Their work demonstrates that a large fraction of
McKinsey has just issued an interesting paper about innovation in Europe and propose five paths which could build on its strengths and help the continent regain its competitive edge. Some excerpts: Europe’s startup scene is thriving:
Quantastica, the Helsinki-based Finnish startup has just announced the closing of a seed round led by Icebreaker.vc. The company provides software tools and solutions to help transiting to hybrid quantum-classical computing. Their Quantum Programming Studio
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are one of the best current Machine Learning techniques to learn, detect and classify images. Researchers at CNRS, IRIF and Université Paris Diderot have described the first CNN implementation on quantum
