Bhupendra Singh Chundawat Light may be the missing ingredient in making usable quantum silicon computer chips, according to an international study featuring a University of Queensland researcher. The team has engineered a silicon chip that can guide single particles of light — photons — along optical tracks, encoding and processing quantum-bits of information known as ‘qubits’. Professor Timothy … Read more
The idea that light has momentum is not new, but the exact nature of how light interacts with matter has remained a mystery for close to 150 years. New research from UBC’s Okanagan campus, recently published in Nature Communications, may have uncovered the key to one of the darkest secrets of light. Johannes Kepler, famed … Read more
In the darkest and coldest parts of its polar regions, a team of scientists has directly observed definitive evidence of water ice on the Moon’s surface. These ice deposits are patchily distributed and could possibly be ancient. At the southern pole, most of the ice is concentrated at lunar craters, while the northern pole’s ice … Read more
For stink bugs to attract a mate or to communicate that they have found food, they use their own chemical language: pheromones. Virginia Tech researchers have discovered insights into this chemical language, which can be used to develop alternative pest controls. “We have gained a deeper understanding of how stink bugs synthesize pheromones, and this … Read more
The high quality of construction will be the new game changer Udaipur : Under the Chief Minister’s ‘Jan Housing Scheme’, all the new houses to be built will be following a new revolution. Now higher standards in the quality of housing including the modern technologies of construction, will be provided and made available to everyone … Read more
Last year, physicists at MIT, the University of Vienna, and elsewhere provided strong support for quantum entanglement, the seemingly far-out idea that two particles, no matter how distant from each other in space and time, can be inextricably linked, in a way that defies the rules of classical physics. Take, for instance, two particles sitting … Read more
Deforestation is suspected to have contributed to the mysterious collapse of Mayan civilization more than 1,000 years ago. A new study shows that the forest-clearing also decimated carbon reservoirs in the tropical soils of the Yucatan peninsula region long after ancient cities were abandoned and the forests grew back. The findings, published in the journal … Read more
