Bridging the Gap Between Semiconductor Photons and Atomic Memory
Researchers have produced, stored, and retrieved quantum information for the first time, a critical step in quantum networking.
Back to the black stuff?
"A vinyl recording is probably the closest you can get to hearing what the original artist intended us to hear" Since 2007 something has been stirring or rather revolving. Vinyl sales having been on the brink of extinction have been steadily climbing. The last time...
Obama’s supercomputer order gets a step closer
"A modern supercomputer’s electricity bill can easily top £60 million pounds" Back in July 2015, Obama put executive orders out for the USA to build the world's fastest supercomputer by 2025, this order created the National Strategic Computing Initiative. The...
- Tweaking isotopes sheds light on promising...on May, 2024 at 5:53 pm
Scientists have demonstrated that small changes in the isotopic content of thin semiconductor materials can influence their optical and electronic properties, possibly opening the way to new and advanced designs with the semiconductors.
- Stretchable e-skin could give robots human-level...on May, 2024 at 3:19 pm
A stretchy electronic skin could equip robots and other devices with the same softness and touch sensitivity as human skin, opening up new possibilities to perform tasks that require a great deal of precision and control of force.
- Towards transparent and antimicrobial surfaces...on May, 2024 at 3:17 pm
Researchers report the development of a durable and transparent antimicrobial surface containing copper nanoparticles. The nanostructured surface was obtained by dewetting ultrathin metal copper films on a glass substrate.
- New Nevada experiments will improve monitoring of...on May, 2024 at 10:43 pm
On an October morning in 2023, a chemical explosion detonated in a tunnel under the Nevada desert was the launch of the next set of experiments by the National Nuclear Security Administration, with the goal to improve detection of low-yield nuclear explosions around the world.
- New eco-friendly lubricant additives protect...on May, 2024 at 9:48 pm
Scientists have developed lubricant additives that protect both water turbine equipment and the surrounding environment.
Columbia engineers build Emo, a silicon-clad robotic face that makes eye contact and uses two AI models to anticipate and replicate a person’s smile before the person actually smiles. A major advance in robots predicting human facial expressions accurately, improving interactions, and building trust between humans and robots.

Header Banner: Speed is the name of the game. The DarkDrug logo shows an Intel Xeon microchip die. Xeon is a brand of x86 microprocessors designed, manufactured, and marketed by Intel, targeted at the non-consumer workstation, server, and embedded system markets. It was introduced in June 1998. The advent ofoptical fibre cable has allowed the speed of data transmission to reach dizzy heights (shown in the DarkDrug logo). The field of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers is known as fibre optics. The term was coined by Indian physicist Narinder Singh Kapany, who is widely acknowledged as the father of fibre optics.
