  • Scientists use vacuum fluctuations to engineer quantum materials, transforming graphene

    Vacuum is perceived as empty, but in fact it is full of fleeting energy fluctuations - virtual photons popping in and out of existence that can interact with matter, giving rise to new, potentially useful properties. Researchers use optical cavities, structures made of mirrors facing one another, to confine these fluctuations, harnessing their effects to engineer new forms of matter. Conventional optical cavities boost fluctuations, or vacuum fields, for both right- and left-handed circularly polarized light. Researchers at Rice University, Harvard University and Max Planck Institute have developed a new cavity design that selectively enhances the quantum vacuum fluctuations of circularly polarized light in a single direction, achieving chirality - a feat that typically requires the use of a strong magnetic field. The team used lightly doped indium antimonide to construct the chiral cavity. The researchers also conducted comprehensive theoretical investigations to predict how the new cavity design would transform the properties of materials placed inside it.

  • EU-funded AQUASOL project to advance renewable energy-powered solutions for water desalination

    The EU-funded AQUASOL project aims to address global water scarcity through renewable energy-powered desalination. Desalination of seawater and brackish water is one of the essential solutions to the increasing global challenge of water scarcity. Yet, widespread deployment of desalination technologies remains limited due to high upfront costs and intensive energy requirements. Moreover, current desalination systems use fossil fuels contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.To address these challenges, the AQUASOL project brings together a multidisciplinary team of seven partners from six countries to explore and develop innovative solutions to facilitate green transition in desalination processes. To achieve this, the consortium will develop a technological platform that will enable the integration of renewable energy sources into desalination technologies and provide disruptive solutions for seawater and wastewater treatment.

  • Premier Graphene announces new strategic joint venture focused on protective body armor for military use

    Premier Graphene, formerly Premier Biomedical, has announced, along with its affiliate HGI Industrial Technologies SAPI, and Nevada Ballistic Armor Corp., its launch of a multinational joint venture producing highly protective body armor for military.As part of this collaboration, Premier and HGI Industrial Technologies delivered armored plates for final testing to a Latin American country. The armored plates have already yielded promising results in controlled laboratory environments within the United States. These plates achieved NIJ certification, evidencing compliance with rigorous ballistic standards. Replication of such testing will be performed by such Latin American country’s military in the coming weeks.

  • This quantum sensor tracks 3D movement without GPS

    Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have created a groundbreaking quantum device that can measure 3D acceleration using ultracold atoms, something once thought nearly impossible. By chilling rubidium atoms to near absolute zero and splitting them into quantum superpositions, the team has built a compact atom interferometer guided by AI to decode acceleration patterns. While the sensor still lags behind traditional GPS and accelerometers, it's poised to revolutionize navigation for vehicles like submarines or spacecraft potentially offering a timeless, atomic-based alternative to aging electronics.

  • Scientists just solved a 40-year-old mystery about quasicrystals

    Scientists at the University of Michigan have unlocked a long-standing mystery about quasicrystals exotic materials that straddle the line between the orderly structure of crystals and the chaos of glass.

  • New sensor uses graphene and MOFs to detect methanol poisoning

    Researchers at the University of Adelaide have developed a simple, low-cost prototype sensor that quickly and easily detects small amounts of methanol in breath. This is a step toward developing a “methanol breathalyzer” to efficiently diagnose poisonings. The team formulated a specialized electrically conductive ink that combined a zirconium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) and graphene. They then 3D-printed the ink onto a ceramic, creating the sensor. A machine created artificial breath by blending dry air with humid air containing methanol and then mimicked blowing the breath into a chamber containing the sensor. The prototype detected methanol at concentrations as low as 50 parts per billion (below the levels found in breath during methanol poisoning) and maintained its stability and performance after several repeated sensing cycles.

  • Photons collide in the void: Quantum simulation creates light out of nothing

    Physicists have managed to simulate a strange quantum phenomenon where light appears to arise from empty space a concept that until now has only existed in theory. Using cutting-edge simulations, researchers modeled how powerful lasers interact with the so-called quantum vacuum, revealing how photons could bounce off each other and even generate new beams of light. These breakthroughs come just as new ultra-powerful laser facilities are preparing to test these mind-bending effects in reality, potentially opening a gateway to uncovering new physics and even dark matter particles.
