Feb 10, 2025 (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have elucidated how hydrogen and carbon monoxide is adsorbed into solids containing a crown-motif structure of platinum and gold. Using quick-scan X-ray absorption measurements and theoretical calculations, they studied a solid of [PtAu8(PPh3)8]-H[PMo12O40] called PtAu8-PMo12 and found that gas adsorption...
New nanomaterial enables more powerful quantum imaging systems
Feb 10, 2025 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Quantum physics holds great promise for advancing imaging technology beyond what traditional optics can achieve. At its core, quantum imaging uses pairs of photons – particles of light – that share a special connection called entanglement. This quantum connection allows imaging techniques that surpass classical...
