A prototype cooling system for supercomputer data centres is expected to save hundreds of millions of gallons of water if widely adopted, say researchers. In different parts of the country, people discuss gray-water recycling and rainwater capture to minimize Read More …

‘Artificial atom’ created in graphene
When they are confined to a small space, the behaviour of electrons can only be explained by quantum physics. Much like electrons in an atom, they are forced into discrete quantum states. These states can be used for quantum information Read More …
Light and matter merge in quantum coupling
Physicists probe the boundaries of light-matter interactions as they bridge traditional condensed matter physics and cavity-based quantum optics. Where light and matter intersect, the world illuminates. Where light and matter interact so strongly that they become one, they illuminate Read More …
Analog DNA circuit does math in a test tube
Researchers have created strands of synthetic DNA that, when mixed together in a test tube in the right concentrations, form an analog circuit that can add, subtract and multiply as the molecules form and break bonds. While most DNA circuits Read More …
Vulnerabilities found in cars connected to smartphones
Many of today’s automobiles leave the factory with secret passengers: prototype software features that are disabled but that can be unlocked by clever drivers. Researchers found vulnerabilities in MirrorLink, a system of rules that allow vehicles to communicate with smartphones. Read More …
