Quantum chemistry on quantum computers

A quantum algorithm for tracking complex chemical reactions with neither performing demanding post-Hartree-Fock calculations nor exponential time explosion.

Graphene-based implant overcomes technical limitation to record brain activity at extremely low frequencies

Researchers have developed a graphene-based implant able to record electrical activity in the brain at extremely low frequencies and over large areas, unlocking the wealth of information found below 0.1 Hz. The groundbreaking technology promises to enhance our understanding of the brain and pave the way for the next generation of brain-computer interfaces.

Researchers discover a metamaterial with inherently robust sound transport

The novel property may enable acoustic and ultrasound devices that are more resilient to noise, disorder and fabrication imperfections.

Physicists record 'lifetime' of graphene qubits

First measurement of its kind could provide stepping stone to practical quantum computing.

Ultrathin digital camera inspired by Xenos peckii eyes

The visual system of Xenos peckii, an endoparasite of paper wasps, demonstrates distinct benefits for high sensitivity and high resolution, differing from the compound eyes of most insects. Taking their unique features, researchers developed an ultrathin digital camera that emulates the unique eyes of Xenos peckii.

Researchers explore the prospects for creating photonic integrated circuits

New research refutes claims of plasmon amplification on the non-stationary graphene surface, thus providing the groundwork for the theoretical description of electromagnetic phenomena in non-stationary microwaveguides.

Give it the plasma treatment: Strong adhesion without adhesives
