Apr 07, 2024 (Nanowerk Spotlight) In the efforts to develop quantum computers and secure communication networks, a tiny device called a single photon source is a crucial component. By emitting light as a stream of individual photons, these sources can generate the quantum bits, or qubits, that form the foundation...
Magnetic fields boost clean energy
Apr 07, 2024 (Nanowerk News) In an era where the quest for sustainable energy sources has become paramount, researchers are tirelessly exploring innovative avenues to enhance fuel production processes. One of the most important tools in converting chemical energy into electrical energy and vice versa is electrocatalysis, which is already...
A simple, inexpensive way to make carbon atoms bind together
Apr 07, 2024 (Nanowerk News) The active ingredient in many drugs is what’s known as a small molecule: bigger than water, much smaller than an antibody and mainly made of carbon. It’s tough, however, to make these molecules if they require a quaternary carbon—a carbon atom bonded to four other...
