An international research team has found a way of generating terahertz radiation by frequency conversion much more efficiently than with previous technologies.
Globally, experts are aiming to execute quantum information technologies. One significant path pertains to light: single light packages, also referred to as photons or light quanta, could convey data that is coded as well as efficiently tap-proof.
Two-dimensional (2D) materials possess extraordinary properties. They usually consist of atomic layers that are only a few nanometers thick and are particularly good at conducting heat and electri .
The material could replace rare metals and lead to more economical production of carbon-neutral fuels. An electrochemical reaction that splits apart water
An electrochemical reaction that splits apart water molecules to produce oxygen is at the heart of multiple approaches aiming to produce alternative fuels for transportation. But this reaction has to be facilitated by a catalyst material, and today's versions require the use of rare and expensive elements such as iridium, limiting the potential of such fuel production.
