Researchers demonstrate organic crystal emitting red light from UV and green from near-infrared

by quasarn01 | Feb 6, 2026 | Latest in Physics

Invisible light beyond the range of human vision plays a vital role in communication technologies, medical diagnostics, and optical sensing. Ultraviolet and near-infrared wavelengths are routinely used in these fields, yet detecting them directly often requires...

Broken inversion symmetry lets 3D crystals mimic 2D Ising superconductivity

by quasarn01 | Feb 6, 2026 | Latest in Physics

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, in general, allow the realization of unique quantum phenomena unattainable in the common three-dimensional (3D) world. A prime example is graphene. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have a similar structure. Both can be stacked to...

Quantum encryption method demonstrated at city-sized distances for the first time

by quasarn01 | Feb 6, 2026 | Latest in Physics

Concerns that quantum computers may start easily hacking into previously secure communications has motivated researchers to work on innovative new ways to encrypt information. One such method is quantum key distribution (QKD), a secure, quantum-based method in which...

Three-way quantum correlations fade exponentially with distance at any temperature, study shows

by quasarn01 | Feb 6, 2026 | Latest in Physics

The properties of a quantum material are driven by links between its electrons known as quantum correlations. A RIKEN researcher has shown mathematically that, at non-zero temperatures, these connections can only exist over very short distances when more than two...
