Scientists investigate temperature effect on semiconductor optical amplifiers

Temperature's effect on the performance of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) is an important research topic. Amer Kotb and colleagues from the Chinese Academy of...

Photon-controlled diode: An optoelectronic device with a new signal processing behavior

A photodetector is an optoelectronic device that detects and converts optical signals into electrical signals. Photodiodes, phototransistors, and photoconductors are examples of these devices. Although...

The study identifies a tidal disruption event that coincides with the production of a high-energy neutrino

High-energy neutrinos are enthralling subatomic particles created when extremely fast charged particles collide with other particles or photons. For nearly a decade, IceCube, a...

Light traveling in a distorting medium can appear undistorted

A team led by researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, with collaborators from the University of Pretoria (South Africa),...

Controlling non-classical mechanical states in a phononic waveguide architecture

The ability to generate, manipulate, and detect non-classical states of light is central to most quantum computing technologies. Non-classical states are quantum states that...

Theory suggests quantum computers should be exponentially faster on some learning tasks than classical machines

A group of academics from numerous institutions in the United States, including Google Quantum AI, and an Australian colleague have created a theory predicting...

Scientists have created the first “time-crystal”

In an experiment that appears to defy physics, scientists have built the first "time-crystal" two-body system. It follows the discovery by the same team...

Researchers found granular matter in a black hole

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Theoretical Physics (ITP) and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) discovered that granular matter (like sand)...

Researchers developed a way to protect qubits inside a quantum computer

Using pairs of Cooper pairs to safeguard qubits inside a quantum computer from external noise has been created by a group of researchers from...

Developed a way to bend light into a vortex ring using mirrors, lasers and lenses

Using mirrors, lasers, and lenses, a team of researchers from the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology and the University of Dayton created...

How to explain localized gap modes in Bose-Einstein condensates

Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) have been created in ultracold bosonic atoms and degenerate quantum gases. These are macroscopic quantum phenomena and are considered as a...

Light-controlled reactions at the nanoscale

Controlling strong electromagnetic fields on nanoparticles is important to trigger targeted molecular reactions on their surfaces. This control over strong fields is achieved via...

Scientists introduced new type of topological material Quasi-symmetry

Ever since the discovery of the quantum Hall effect, symmetry has been the guiding principle in the search for topological materials. Now, scientists have...

Mixing laser beams and X-ray beams

Real laser beams do not interact with each other when they cross. This is until the beams meet within a suitable material that allow...

Searching for cosmic-ray boosted sub-GeV dark matter

Physicists worldwide are continuing their search for dark matter. It is an elusive type of matter that does not absorb which reflect or emit...
