Upgrading your computer to quantum
Sep 22, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Computers that can make use of the “spooky” properties of quantum mechanics to solve problems faster than current technology may sound alluring, but first they must overcome a massive disadvantage. Scientists from Japan may have found the answer through their demonstration of how a superconducting...
Solvent study solves solar cell durability puzzle
Sep 23, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Rice University engineers say they’ve solved a long-standing conundrum in making stable, efficient solar panels out of halide perovskites. It took finding the right solvent design to apply a 2D top layer of desired composition and thickness without destroying the 3D bottom one (or vice...
Analysis of particles of the asteroid Ryugu delivers surprising results
Sep 23, 2022 (Nanowerk News) In December 2020, a small landing capsule brought rock particles from the asteroid Ryugu to Earth – material from the beginnings of our solar system. The Japanese space probe Hayabusa 2 had collected the samples. Geoscientist Professor Frank Brenker and his team from Goethe University...
