Researchers use silicon nanoparticles to visualize the coalescence of quantized vortices that occur in superfluid helium

Scientists from the Graduate School of Engineering Science at Osaka University have shown how silicon nanoparticles can become trapped inside the vortices that form inside superfluid helium. This work opens up new possibilities in optical research for other quantum properties of superfluid helium. The rules...

Breakthrough discovery in light interactions with nanoparticles paves the way for advances in optical computing

Computers are an indispensable part of our daily lives. Computers that can work faster, solve complex problems more efficiently leave smaller environmental footprints by minimizing the required energy for computation is increasingly urgent. Recent progress in photonics has shown that it's possible to achieve...

Scientists build a silicon quantum computer chip atom by atom

University of Melbourne researchers have found a technique for embedding single atoms in a silicon wafer one-by-one. The new technology has the potential to make quantum computers using the same methods. These methods have given us cheap and reliable conventional devices which contains billions...

Silicon photonic-electronic neural network will enhance submarine transmission systems

The growth of the Internet was made possible by a technique called Digital Signal Processing (DSP). This helped in reducing transmission distortions. DSP is implemented with CMOS integrated circuits (ICs). So, it relies heavily on Moore's Law. It has approached its limits in power...
