The hidden forces inside diamonds that could make tech 1,000x faster
A team of physicists has discovered that virtual charges, which exist only during brief interactions with light, play a critical role in ultrafast material responses. Using attosecond pulses on diamonds, they showed these hidden carriers significantly influence...
Heisenberg said it was impossible. Scientists just proved otherwise
Researchers have reimagined Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, engineering a trade-off that allows precise measurement of both position and momentum. Using quantum computing tools like grid states and trapped ions, they demonstrated sensing precision beyond...
Mysterious “quantum echo” in superconductors could unlock new tech
Researchers have discovered an unusual "quantum echo" in superconducting materials, dubbed the Higgs echo. This phenomenon arises from the interplay between Higgs modes and quasiparticles, producing distinctive signals unlike conventional echoes. By using precisely...
Graphene-enhanced concrete put to the test in Sundsvall
Along with several partners, 2D Fab has launched a trial that includes the casting of a large-scale concrete floor reinforced with the Company's graphene-based additive 2Dx® CO-NXT, at SCA Wood’s sawmill in Tunadal, Sundsvall. The goal is to develop durable and...
The phantom heat of empty space might soon be detectable
A Hiroshima University team has designed a feasible way to detect the Unruh effect, where acceleration turns quantum vacuum fluctuations into observable particles. By using superconducting Josephson junctions, they can achieve extreme accelerations that create a...
Scientists brew “quantum ink” to power next-gen night vision
Toxic metals are pushing infrared detector makers into a corner, but NYU Tandon researchers have developed a cleaner solution using colloidal quantum dots. These detectors are made like “inks,” allowing scalable, low-cost production while showing impressive...
