Bright prospects for engineering quantum light
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: computing, engineering, internet, quantum physics
Exploring the design of efficient quantum emitters using defects in wide-bandgap semiconductors, specifically silicon carbide (SiC) and diamond.
It highlights how these defects can be engineered to emit single photons, which are crucial for quantum technologies like secure communication and quantum…
Computers benefit greatly from being connected to the internet, so we might ask: What good is a quantum computer without a quantum internet?

New Dual-Target Drug Could Make Antibiotic Resistance 100 Million Times Harder
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: biotech/medical, cybercrime/malcode
It’s easy to think of bacteria as one of the greatest scourges on Earth for the diseases and deaths they cause, and how they repeatedly thwart our best antibiotics, evolving into drug-resistant superbugs.
But really, bacteria are just doing what they’ve always done – finding new ways to survive.
While the search for new antibiotics continues, combination therapies are increasingly being tested to try to clamp down on multiple bacterial escape pathways at once, and limit the chances of microbes developing resistance with successive biological hacks.

Newly discovered sheets of nanoscale ‘cubes’ make excellent catalysts
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: nanotechnology, particle physics
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created sheets of transition metal chalcogenide “cubes” connected by chlorine atoms. While sheets of atoms have been widely studied e.g. graphene, the team’s work breaks new ground by using clusters instead. The team succeeded in forming nanoribbons inside carbon nanotubes for structural characterization, while also forming microscale sheets of cubes which could be exfoliated and probed. These were shown to be an excellent catalyst for generating hydrogen.
The findings have been published in Advanced Materials (“Superatomic layer of cubic Mo 4 S 4 clusters connected by Cl cross-linking”).
