Heat from the Environment can Help Quantum Annealers Solve Certain Problems
Scientists at the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) have recently demonstrated that heat energy coming in from the outside can help a quantum annealer get better solutions for a certain type of problem. The usual approach to quantum annealing is to run the device...
Virtual Supercomputer Finds Clean Water Clue
An article published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology today discusses a recently discovered phenomenon in which the use of carbon nanotubes, under specific conditions, could potentially lead to more efficient water filtering with less expense and less impact on...
Seeing elements transform at the atomic scale for the first time
Atoms of one chemical element morphing into another have been observed for the first time revealing a new, safer way to potentially treat cancer with radiation. The research has just been published in the journal Nature Materials. The work was done as a...
