Scalable Error-Correction Signals Forthcoming Efficiency Gains for Quantum Compute

Jue, 01/16/2025 - 06:30

Quantum computers hold tremendous promise, and the potential to solve a range of complex problems which are currently intractable due to the limitations of today’s super-computers. These problems span the fields of quantum chemistry and condensed matter physics — which have direct applications in crucial research areas such as drug discovery and the design of materials for more powerful and efficient batteries.

Early prototypes of quantum computers were brought online in the last decade. The performances of these forerunners invited skeptics to loudly claim that the industry would never reach the levels of performance that we have since come to see in the present.

Bioluminescent Tags Track RNA Dynamics in Live Cells in Real Time

Mié, 01/15/2025 - 08:00

A bioluminescent tag that can be attached to RNA will enable scientists to track RNA in real time as it moves through the human body.

To understand the central role of RNA in cellular processes, scientists must be able to track RNA in vivo. The new platform will allow scientists to observe the dynamics of RNA in numerous biological processes, from virus propagation to memory formation, in real time.

The bioluminescent RNA tag was developed by researchers at the University of California, Irvine. The researchers used luciferase, the enzyme that induces bioluminescence in fireflies, glowworms, jellyfish, and other organisms to make the tags. They engineered the RNA tags to recruit light-emitting luciferase fragments, called RNA...

Graphene Prevents Damage to Flexible Thin Films for Wearable Electronics

Mar, 01/14/2025 - 08:00
In a step forward for stretchable, wearable technologies, researchers demonstrated a graphene-enabled laser lift-off (GLLO) technique that ensures smooth separation of thin film flexible displays during the manufacturing process. The technique could accelerate development of ultrathin, high-performance devices that fit comfortably against human skin.

The GLLO technique, which was developed at Seoul National University of Science and Technology (SeoulTech), takes advantage of the optical, thermal, adhesive, and geometrical properties of graphene to prevent damage to ultrathin displays. A graphene layer improves UV light absorption, distributes heat evenly, and reduces adhesion in the thin film. These factors serve to reduce plastic...

Photoactivated Gel Achieves Bone Regeneration and Adhesion at Same Time

Lun, 01/13/2025 - 08:00

Effective treatment of bone defects requires innovative materials that support bone regeneration, are easy to apply, and adapt easily to the defect site. Injectable hydrogels offer a minimally invasive solution, but often lack mechanical integrity and biological functionality. Traditional methods that combine bone grafts with adhesive materials often fail to achieve simultaneous bone regeneration and adhesion.

To help advance bone tissue engineering, a research team at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) developed an injectable, adhesive hydrogel that achieves photocrosslinking and mineralization simultaneously, without the need for bone grafts, when it is irradiated with light that is safe for the human body.

Metal Glass in Thin Film Structure Improves IR Thermal System

Jue, 01/09/2025 - 08:00

An advanced design for IR thermal technology, developed by researchers at National Taiwan University (NTU), takes advantage of the tunable optical properties of metallic glass to combine IR camouflage and IR thermal management functions in a single system. The system provides dual functionality for IR camouflage and IR thermal management within the same wavelength region of the atmospheric window.

A conventional, low-emissivity design approach to thermal camouflage is only useful for concealing targets at temperatures greater than 350 °C. It is not effective for applications that aim to reduce the ability to detect targets in the near-room to medium-high temperatures below the 350 °C range.

Also, given the typically high...
