Teaching Nature to Break Man-made Chemical Bonds
Researchers have crafted an enzyme capable of breaking down tough silicon-carbon bonds in siloxanes, paving the way for biodegradable solutions to persistent environmental pollutants.
Secure cryptography with real-world devices is now a realistic possibility
New research published in Nature explains how an international team of researchers have, for the first time, experimentally implemented a type of quantum cryptography considered to be the ‘ultimate’, ‘bug-proof’ means of communication.
New Device Opens Door to Storing Quantum Information as Sound Waves
This experiment investigates phonons for storing quantum information because it's relatively easy to build small devices that can store these mechanical waves.
Some Alloys Don't Change Size When Heated. We Now Know Why
Caltech scientists have unveiled why Invar alloys, combining iron and nickel, resist thermal expansion. Their research elucidates how the electron spin state and atomic vibrations cancel out, keeping Invars stable despite temperature changes.
Polarization to Improve Quantum Imaging
The latest innovation exploits the entanglement of photons to influence the color, brightness, and now the polarization of light.
Life’s building blocks are surprisingly stable in Venus-like conditions
Life's essential amino acids can endure the harsh sulfuric acid conditions analogous to those in Venus' clouds. This unexpected stability challenges previous assumptions and opens new possibilities for life's existence in extreme celestial environments.
