Home > Press > Researchers demonstrate co-propagation of quantum and classical signals: Study shows that quantum encryption can be implemented in existing fiber networks The experimental set-up (Fig. 1) used for the co-propagation evaluation is constituted of a DWDM comb of sixty DP-QPSK (Dual Polarization Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) channels...

Home > Press > Researchers create a new 3D extra-large pore zeolite that opens a new path to the decontamination of water and gas: A team of scientists with the participation of the CSIC develops an extra-large pore silica zeolite from a silicate chain Image of the structure of ZEO-3,...

Home > Press > Vertical electrochemical transistor pushes wearable electronics forward: Biomedical sensing is one application of efficient, low-cost transistors The vertical electrochemical transistor is based on a new kind of electronic polymer and a vertical, instead of planar, architecture. CREDIT Northwestern University Abstract:A transdisciplinary Northwestern University research team...

Home > Press > Polymer p-doping improves perovskite solar cell stability Abstract:Perovskite solar cells have drawn a significant amount of research attention as a promising alternative to conventional silicon-based solar cells, due to their efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity. Perovskite solar cells are a hybrid of organic and inorganic...

Home > Press > Towards highly conducting molecular materials with a partially oxidized organic neutral molecule: In an unprecedented feat, researchers from Japan develop an organic, air-stable, highly conducting neutral molecular crystal with unique electronic properties An unprecedented partial oxidation state realized in a single purely organic neutral molecule by...

Jan 20, 2023 (Nanowerk Spotlight) The extensive use of polymer-made, disposable and non-biodegradable COVID-19 pandemic health protectives like surgical face masks, hand gloves and PPE kits, combined with a lack of proper waste recycling systems, considerably increased plastic pollution around the world. Young scientists, Mr. Sayyid Abdul Basith and Dr....

Jan 20, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Gene therapies have the potential to treat neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, but they face a common barrier — the blood-brain barrier. Now, researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have developed a way to move therapies across the brain’s protective membrane to deliver...

Jan 20, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Scientists have advanced in discovering how to use ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves to peer back to the beginning of everything we know. The researchers say they can better understand the state of the cosmos shortly after the Big Bang by learning how...

Jan 20, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Investigating the interplay between the structure of water molecules that have been incorporated into layered materials such as clays and the configuration of ions in such materials has long proved a great experimental challenge. But researchers have now used a technique elsewhere commonly used to...
