New material ‘upconverts’ infrared photons to generate electricity
Researchers have developed a new material that is capable of generating electricity from otherwise wasted infrared photons thereby increasing the efficiency of currently used solar photovoltaic cells by at least 30 per…
Ultrafast light-emitting device brings quantum computing dreams closer to reality
An ultrafast light-emitting device of microscopic size capable of turning on and off 90 billion times a second and one that has the potential of bringing quantum computing to reality has been…
Quantum entanglement breakthrough helps pack more data on a single photon
Quantum computing has shown a lot of promise as far as processing and transmission speeds are concerned, but it also suffers from limitations that limit the data that can be packed into…
Entanglement on a chip promises ultra-fast secure computing, communication
Entanglement of photons has been one of the most intriguing phenomenon of physics with promises for ultra-fast and security computing as well as communications, but practical implementation on silicon chips has been…
