US Customs and Border Protection is paying General Dynamics to create prototype “quantum sensors,” to be used with an AI ...

A quick recap. Quantum dots are microscopic particles with a fascinating ability: They can turn one color of light into another color of light with near-perfect efficiency. Right now, the most common ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could reliably tackle various ...

A research team has developed a hierarchical-shell perovskite nanocrystal technology that simultaneously overcomes the ...

One of the biggest hurdles in building quantum networks is showing that quantum information can be transferred between devices that are not inherently compatible. But one Europe-wide research ...

Using quantum states for processing information has the potential to swiftly address complex problems that are beyond the reach of classical computers. Over the past decades, tremendous progress has ...

Scientists have created eco-friendly “quantum inks” that can replace toxic metals in infrared detectors. The breakthrough could make night vision faster, cleaner, and more accessible to a wider range ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dianne Plummer is an Energy Consultant and Certified Energy Manager. Solar power is the fastest-growing source of new electricity ...

Toxic metals are pushing infrared detector makers into a corner, but NYU Tandon researchers have developed a cleaner solution using colloidal quantum dots. These detectors are made like “inks,” ...
