The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced more than $540 million in awards for university- and National Laboratory-led research into clean energy tech

Recently, researchers demonstrated a prototype for a paper battery that is activated when in contact with water and have touted their design as a battery with a water-activated switch.

For the first time, researchers have used ultrafast electron diffraction (UED), an ultrafast camera for detecting tiny atomic movements, to observe a quantum electronic device as it operates.

Simplicity, using a palm-sized unit called a mouse. >> it was the first time a machine was personal, it was simple, it was friendly. >> it took the computer out of the exclusive domain of geeks and nerds and people who had memorized those commands and put it on the desk of everybody, untrained non-technical people. >> stores around the country put them on sale today and analysts say its a good bet that macintosh could soon be the biggest apple of the industrys eye. >> its got its best years far ...

Scientists suggest that water’s so-called “proton quantum effect” may be at the heart of many of the liquid’s strange properties. In this experiment wit

A team of researchers led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has addressed a long-standing puzzle about strontium titanate, an odd metal oxide that can function as an insulator, a semiconductor, or a metal.

Scientists create quantum technology platform. The brilliant blue of the Hope Diamond is caused by small impurities in its crystal structure. Similar diamond impurities are also giving hope to scientists looking to create materials that can be used for quantum computing and quantum sensing.

Sheets of pure diamond with tiny imperfections could hold promise for being controllable materials platform for quantum technology.
