A new theoretical approach allows the alteration of α-RuCl3’s magnetic properties through quantum fluctuations in an optical cavity, providing a laser-free avenue for material manipulation.

Researchers in Germany and the USA have produced the first theoretical demonstration that the magnetic state of an atomically thin material, α-RuCl3, can be controlled solely by placing it into an optical cavity. Crucially, the cavity vacuum fluctuations alone are sufficient to change the material’s magnetic order from a zigzag antiferromagnet into a ferromagnet. The team’s work has been published in the scientific journal npj Computational Materials.

Advancements in Material Physics.

The widespread use of electronic devices to interact with others and access the internet has increased the need for highly performing communication technologies that can transmit data faster and more efficiently. Increasing the data transmission rate of devices without adversely impacting their energy efficiency, however, is a challenging task.

Researchers at University of Southampton in the UK recently developed a promising new based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology and . This transmitter, introduced in Nature Electronics, was found to achieve remarkable data transmission rates while consuming minimal energy.

“The integration of silicon photonics with electronics is essential for producing practical systems for numerous applications,” David J. Thomson, one of the authors of the paper, told Tech Xplore.

Cooper pairs are pairs of electrons in superconducting materials that are bound to each other at low temperatures. These electron pairs are at the root of superconductivity, a state where materials have zero resistance at low temperatures due to quantum effects. As quantum systems that can be relatively large and easy to manipulate, superconductors are highly useful for the development of quantum computers and other advanced technologies.

Researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) recently demonstrated the controllable splitting of a Copper pair into its two constituent electrons within a hybrid quantum dot system, holding onto them after the split. Their paper, published in Physical Review Letters, could open new avenues for the study of superconductivity and entanglement in quantum dot systems.

“This research was motivated by the fact that Cooper pairs, the fundamental ingredients of superconductivity that carry electrical current with no resistance, are formed by pairs of electrons that are expected to be perfectly quantum entangled,” Christian Prosko, one of the authors of the paper, told Phys.org.

The new material is highly scalable especially compared to other alternatives such as graphene and diamonds.

Researchers at Delft University of Technology have created a novel material that has a yield strength ten times higher than Kevlar, rivaling the strength of other super strong alternatives such as graphene and diamonds.

High-strength synthetic fibers like Kevlar are renowned for their remarkable resilience to abrasion and wear. They are most notably used in applications that are reinforcing and strengthening, particularly in body armor, helmets, and other protective gear.

The M3 chips come in three versions: the M3, the M3 Pro, and the M3 Max.

Since moving away from Intel to develop its in-house PC chips laid on the foundation of its mobile A-series chips, Apple’s M series desktop chips have changed the dynamics of the PC industry. The M1 not only proved to be successful but also powerful and efficient at the same time, earning early adopter’s trust for reliability to move to a new ARM-based desktop architecture. With Apple’s Rosetta at play, early adopters could bet on moving away from Intel chips to try their beloved apps and software suits within the new ARM system.

M3 chips: Apple’s billion-dollar gamble

After successfully debuting the M2 series of chips, Apple has just launched a new series of chips for computers, called the M3, that are more powerful and efficient than ever before in its Scary Fast event. These chips are made using cutting-edge technology that makes them very small and packed with billions of transistors. According to an analyst, Apple spent a whopping $1 billion to design and test these chips, which shows how ambitious and costly this project was.

Batteries are regarded as crucial technologies in the battle against climate change, particularly for electric vehicles and storing energy from renewable sources. Anthro Energy’s novel flexible batteries are presently available to wearable manufacturers and could be employed in a variety of areas, including electric cars and laptops.

The innovative batteries score well in fire safety, thanks to new materials and design features that eliminate internal and external mechanical safety risks like explosions. Many of today’s batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, contain a flammable liquid as an electrolyte.

Anthro Energy’s David Mackaniac and his team have created a flexible polymer electrolyte that is malleable like rubber. The new technology provides increased design flexibility for use across a range of devices, with adaptable shapes and sizes to suit specific applications.
