Artist’s impression of the experimental device with optical beam photons (red) entering and exiting the electro-optic crystal and resonating within its circular portion, as well as generated microwave photons (blue) leaving the device. Credit: Eli Krantz, Krantz NanoArt For the first time, ISTA researchers have entangled microwaves and optical photons. Quantum computing has the potential … Read more
A new platform from MIT allows researchers to grow halide perovskite nanocrystals with precise control over the position and size of each individual crystal, by integrating them into nanoscale light-emitting diodes. Pictured is a rendering of a nanocrystal array emitting light. Credit: Courtesy of Sampson Wilcox, RLE A new technique produces perovskite nanocrystals right where … Read more
Researchers have successfully made logic gates using DNA crystal engineering, a huge step forward in DNA computation. Their results have been published in Advanced Materials. Using double-crossed patterns of DNA as building blocks, they built complex 3D crystal architectures. Logic gates were implemented in large assemblages of these 3D DNA crystals and the outputs were … Read more
