A New Spin on Atoms Gives Scientists a Closer Look at Quantum Weirdness
A team of Princeton researchers have developed a new way to control and measure atoms that are so close together no optical lens can distinguish them, according to Princeton news. Described in an article published Oct. 30 in the journal Science, their method excites closely-spaced erbium atoms in a crystal using a finely tuned laser in […]
From X-rays, CT Scans & MRIs Comes Startup’s Vision in Quantum Imaging & Sensing Applications
Photo by CDC on Unsplash Sword Combat Since humans have had the skill to manufacture hand tools, we have been working on our surgical prowess, building up, over time, better and better ways to do it. Though early surgery techniques — usually conducted to an injury during sword to sword combat or other traumas common of the day — were […]
How a Texas Startup is using ML, Big Data & Quantum Mechanical Modelling to Identify Novel Drug-like Molecules
Photo by National Cancer Institute on Unsplash CADD Assistance Breakthroughs in drug discovery are more important now than ever with the ongoing global health crisis. And it’s why, methodologies in computer-aided drug design (CADD) — which can speed up molecular simulations as well as improve accuracy rates (though at greater cost) — are becoming more important. With the aid of […]
