One-dimensional photonic-crystal (PC) cavities made of diamond that contain one or more nitrogen vacancies (NVs) in the cavity can store quantum digital information at room temperature in the form of electron spin, which can then be read out via photon ...
The idea of computing systems based on controlling atomic spins just got a boost from new research performed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory. By constructing ...
Lace weaver spider silk is remarkably small. While most spiders create webs with silk that can be measured on the micrometer scale, lace weavers instead spin silk threads that are only measurable on the nanoscale. The unique silk is made in the ...
Nanotechnology is the science of studying materials at the "nano" scale, or the scale of individual atoms and molecules. Just how small is the nanoscale? A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. A typical human hair is about 100,000 nanometers wide—so ...
“There's a whole area of research on nanotechnology and microfluidics that basically takes all these massive room-filling machines and miniaturizes them to a very small footprint.” “But at the same time, what's really exciting is that it also uploads ...
