Parity-time symmetry: Unlocking faster and stronger optical signal processing

In the era of big data, signal processing faces significant challenges in terms of capacity and energy consumption due to the torrent of data to process. With over 90% of data transmitted through light, optical signal processing may offer unprecedented speed and energy efficiency compared to its electronic counterparts, as it operates without the need […]

Visual observation of photonic Floquet–Bloch oscillations

Recently, the exploration of Bloch oscillations (BOs) in periodically driven quantum systems, equivalent to “Floquet systems,” has drawn tremendous attention because their exotic characteristics are profoundly distinct from those in static systems. Specifically, two types of Bloch-like oscillations have been investigated: quasi-Bloch oscillations (QBOs) and super-Bloch oscillations (SBOs).

Strategy uses boron-nitrogen covalent bonds to enable high-performance narrowband electroluminescence

To meet the demands of next-generation ultrahigh-definition displays, the organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) industry is actively pursuing the development of narrowband organic light-emitting materials. Within this effort, multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials based on boron-nitrogen fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have gained prominence for their energy efficiency and color purity, capturing the interest […]

Stable magnetic bundles achieved at room temperature and zero magnetic field

Recently, the research team led by Prof. Du Haifeng from the High Magnetic Field laboratory at Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences achieved stable magnetic bundles at room temperature without the need for any external magnetic field.

Transforming common soft magnets into next-generation thermoelectric conversion materials with 3-minute heat treatment

A research team from NIMS and Nagoya University has demonstrated that an iron-based amorphous alloy, widely used as a soft magnetic material in transformers and motors, can be transformed into a “transverse” thermoelectric conversion material that converts electric and thermal currents in orthogonal directions, with just a short period of heat treatment. The study is […]

Ancient texts reveal: Earth was ruled for 241,000 years by 8 kings who came from heaven

Uncovered throughout the years by scholars in numerous regions in ancient Mesopotamia, the copies of what is believed to be a single manuscript –referred to as the Sumerian King List— details how in the distant past, our planet was ruled by eight mysterious kings for a staggering period of 241,000 years. The list even […]

Astronomers propose a new stellar theory to explain the origin of phosphorus

Astronomers have proposed a new theory to explain the origin of phosphorus, one of the elements important for life on Earth. The theory suggests a type of stellar explosion known as “ONe novae” as a major source of phosphorus.

Was Aztlan –the legendary ancestral home of the Aztec people—Atlantis?

YouTube Video Here: https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qt2GYyGTXTs?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1

While Aztlan —the legendary ancestral home of the Aztec peoples— has still not been identified, it has been described as an ISLAND. Curiously, many researchers agree that Aztlan means: “place of whiteness.”What if there was a strange connection among Atlantis, Aztlan and the icy continent of Antarctica?

Aztlan is the […]

NASA watchdog report: 100+ cracks on heat shield biggest threat to human moon mission

The damage to the Orion capsule from the Artemis I mission is already top of mind for NASA as it works to make the Artemis II mission safe for humans. But a new agency report has revealed the extent of the problem, including scores of cracks in Orion’s critical heat shield.
