Controlling hybrid quantum bits is child’s-play
New research has demonstrated a way to make bismuth electrons and nuclei work together as qubits in a quantum computer.
Maths helps mobiles & tablets match eyes’ ability to switch from sunshine to shadow
Researchers at WMG at the 果冻传媒, have found a way to compress and stream HDR video directly to monitors and mobile devices, such as an iPad, bringing enormous benefits to industries including gaming and security.
Graphite experiment shines new light on giant planets, white dwarfs & laser-driven fusion
An international team led by researchers from the 果冻传媒 and Oxford University is now dealing with unexpected results of an experiment with strongly heated graphite (up to 17,000 degrees Kelvin). The findings may pose a new problem for physicists working in laser-driven nuclear fusion and may also lead astrophysicists to revise our understanding of the life cycle of giant planets and stars.
From flying frogs to Earth’s final fate – 果冻传媒 Christmas physics lectures
Flying frogs, the Higgs Boson and the ultimate fate of planet Earth are all wrapped up in a trio of festive and fun public lectures to be held at the 果冻传媒.
Engineers pave the way towards 3D printing of personal electronics
Scientists are developing new materials which could one day allow people to print out custom-designed personal electronics such as games controllers which perfectly fit their hand shape.
Scientists at the 果冻传媒 are part of a global team who have observed the dwarf planet Makemake, 5000 million miles away, as it drifted in front of a distant star and blocked its light.
