Connecting quantum processors at a distance just got real with a new experiment

NIST scientists correlate photon pairs of different colors generated in separate buildings. Particles can sometimes act like waves, and photons (particles of light) are no exception. Just as waves create an interference pattern, like ripples on a pond, so do photons. Physicists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and their colleagues have

Sidesteping one of the primary obstacles standing in the way of effective quantum logic circuits

Possible “topological superconductor” could overcome industry’s problem of quantum decoherence. A potentially useful material for building quantum computers has been unearthed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), whose scientists have found a superconductor that could sidestep one of the primary obstacles standing in the way of effective quantum logic circuits. Newly discovered

A significant advance in the development of artificial catalysts

Stanford researchers have made a significant advance in the development of artificial catalysts for making cleaner chemicals and fuels at an industrial scale. All living organisms depend on enzymes – molecules that speed up biochemical reactions that are essential for life. Scientists have spent decades trying to create artificial enzymes capable of cranking out important

Smart materials and smart fabrics that can regulate their own thermal properties

University of Virginia mechanical engineers and materials scientists, in collaboration with materials scientists at Penn State, the University of Maryland and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, have invented a “switching effect” for thermal conductivity and mechanical properties that can be incorporated into the fabrication of materials including textiles and garments. Using heat transport

Transforming the CRISPR gene editor into a highly precision tool

New Platform Transforms CRISPR Gene Editor Into Precision Tool Using the gene-editing tool CRISPR to snip at DNA is often akin to using scissors to edit a newspaper article. You can cut out words, but it’s difficult to remove individual letters or instantly know how the cuts affect the meaning of the text. Someday, CRISPR

Machine learning algorithms pinpoint new materials 200 times faster than previously possible

If you combine two or three metals together, you will get an alloy that usually looks and acts like a metal, with its atoms arranged in rigid geometric patterns. But once in a while, under just the right conditions, you get something entirely new: a futuristic alloy called metallic glass. The amorphous material’s atoms are

Nanocoating enhances solar cell efficiency by 20 percent

Trapping light with an optical version of a whispering gallery, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a nanoscale coating for solar cells that enables them to absorb about 20 percent more sunlight than uncoated devices. The coating, applied with a technique that could be incorporated into manufacturing, opens a
