A new approach to quantum light emitters generates a stream of circularly polarized single photons, or particles of light, that may be useful for a range of quantum information and communication applications. A Los Alamos National Laboratory team stacked two different, atomically thin materials to realize this chiral quantum light source.
A research team led by USask College of Arts and Science researcher in physics and engineering physics, Dr. Alexander Moewes (PhD), Canada Research Chair in Materials Science with Synchrotron Radiation, is investigating a brand-new compound—potential
Using computer simulations and X-ray experiments, researchers could “see” in detail why lithium ions move slowly in a solid-state battery—specifically, at the electrolyte-electrode interface. The work could lead to new strategies to enhance ionic conductivity in solid-state batteries.
Weak bonds a strength in making borophene. Theory shows potential to synthesize material on an insulator. Boris Jacobson, a materials theorist at Rice University George R. Brown School of Engineering, and his team have come up with a way to synthesize bo
IMAGE: Penn State “There is a growing need to understand how seismic and hydraulic characteristics of fractured rock can be used to illuminate the key mechanisms controlling subsurface flow, energy production and waste disposal,” Shokouhi said. In the lab, the research team uses acoustic vibrations on fractured rock to simulate seismic activity. The team then studies the frictional, hydraulic and ultrasonic responses to create a model or image of the fractures. This model allows the team to predict how fluid will flow through the rock, even if the rock is underground and inaccessible. By ...
