Self-correcting quantum computers within reach?
From Harvard University 02/11/23 Quantum computers promise to reach speeds and efficiencies impossible for even the fastest supercomputers of today. Yet the technology hasn’t seen much scale-up and commercialization largely due to its inability to self-correct. Quantum computers, unlike classical ones, cannot correct errors by copying encoded data over and over. Scientists had to find […]

Novel catalyst for green production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals
From National University of Singapore 01/11/23 A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) led by Associate Professor Lu Jiong from the Department of Chemistry under the NUS Faculty of Science, together with their international collaborators, have developed a new class of catalysts – known as heterogeneous geminal atom catalysts (GACs) – […]
Self-healing crystals discovered through electron beam repair
From University of Minnesota 01/11/23 In a surprising new study, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have found that the electron beam radiation that they previously thought degraded crystals can actually repair cracks in these nanostructures. The groundbreaking discovery provides a new pathway to create more perfect crystal nanostructures, a process that is […]

Revolutionizing energy storage: Metal nanoclusters for stable lithium–sulfur batteries
From Tokyo University of Science 27/10/23 The demand for efficient energy storage systems is ever increasing, especially due to the recent emergence of intermittent renewable energy and the adoption of electric vehicles. In this regard, lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs), which can store three to five times more energy than traditional lithium-ion batteries, have emerged as a […]
Floating offshore wind could bring billions in value to the west coast, report shows
From DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory 27/10/23 A new report from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory shows that along a 200-mile stretch of ocean off the coast of southern Oregon and northern California, floating wind farms could potentially triple the Pacific Northwest’s wind power capacity while offsetting potentially billions of dollars in costs for utilities, ratepayers, insurance […]
