Heat management in ion trap optical clocks leads to extremely low uncertainties
Combination of careful design, infrared measurements and numerical simulations show potential to reduce temperature-based uncertainty in optical clocks.
Seeing through squids’ camouflage
A molecular explanation of color tunability in squid cells suggests the protein reflectin relies on an amplifier to realize its full potential.
Quantum oscillation measurements of a type-II Weyl semimetal
Results reveal that LaAlGe has smaller effective masses and larger Fermi velocities compared to other type-II Weyl semimetals.
Chromosome separator improves on previous techniques
Using an inertial focusing device, scientists have come up with a better way to quickly and easily separate chromosomes and other non-spherical particles.
Microfluidics enhance viral detection methods
Infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, involve gene biomarkers that can be detected using an array of microfluidics technologies.
Simulations confirm face masks suppress the spread of COVID-19
Fluid dynamics simulations of unprecedented resolution and realism support recommendations to wear face masks indoors, and suggest outside wear may be beneficial as well.
Investigating electrostatic pigment-protein interactions and energy transfer
A multiscale study details the intra- and intermonomer energy transfer process in FMO proteins.
Hybrid quantum computing circuit combines quantum devices with readout amplifier
Researchers demonstrated a transimpedance amplifier capable of operating at the same cryogenic temperatures as quantum devices.
Method allows for dual harmonic control in smart surfaces
Metasurfaces could previously provide control over only one harmonic, but researchers have found a way to double that potential.
