Harnessing the powers of Quantum Laws and Nanotechnology to drive 21st century economy
Syntec Optics is an optical partner to the development of optomechanics lattices for novel hybrid quantum systems.
MIT scientists have detected a quantum crystal of electrons and “watched” it melt for the first time. The observations confirm an 80-year-old quantum theory proposed by Eugene Wigner.
A new protocol for estimating unknown optical processes, called unitary operations, with precision enhanced by the unique properties of quantum mechanics has been demonstrated by scientists and engineers from the University of Bristol, UK, and the Centre for Quantum Technologies in Singapore.
MIT researchers have designed a way to generate, at room temperature, more single photons for carrying quantum information. The design, they say, holds promise for the development of practical quantum computers.
A quantum technique for verifying solutions to difficult problems could apply to an “unbelievably huge” class of puzzles.
A breakthrough in optics could revolutionize the study of space-time and quantum phenomena, and make our ultimate experiment possible.
The core circuits of quantum teleportation, which generate and detect quantum entanglement, have been successfully integrated into a photonic chip by an international team of scientists from the universities of Bristol, Tokyo, Southampton and NTT Device Technology Laboratories. These results pave the way to developing ultra-high-speed quantum computers and strengthening the security of communication.
Nanotechnology (nanotech) is the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. The rising capabilities of nanotech are already taking effect on our world. Further advances will go on to …
A small start up company, inspired by a desert beetle, is using nano technology to develop a self-filling water bottle. Deckard Sorensen, co-founder of NBD Nano, tells host Steve Curwood how studying the Namib Desert Beetle helped them to develop new technologies for collecting water.
À celles et ceux qui ne veulent pas perdre mais gagner « toujours plus » (T. p.), avancer, aller plus loin, se dépasser, etc. ! Et aux autres, qui vivent dans l’espoir de s’en sortir, de gagner ... !
This may look like a gruesome monster from the latest sci-fi event movie, but it is in fact a real creature. No need to panic, though, as the hydrothermal worm is so tiny it requires a powerful microscope to see it.
Nano Desktop: A smart crossover between accessibility and technology that puts new ideas at the forefront. Possible uses: A quantum computing company. A medical nanotechnology firm. A medical research company. A cyber security firm.
Imagine a refrigerator so cold it could turn atoms into their quantum states, giving them unique properties that defy the rules of classical physics.

We did a post on the use of nanotechnology in the textile industry about two years ago, and new research has just settled the long-standing controversy over the mechanism by which silver nanoparti…
Nanotechnology-Based Sensors for Detection of Environmental Pollution discusses the use of nanotechnology to generate sensors capable of performing efficient detection of different types of environmental pollutants. Sections explore environmental pollution as a threat to life on Earth, the main contaminants (inorganic, organic or pathogens), and the risk they represent to living beings. Others are dedicated to nanotechnology, allowing pollutants' detection, a brief history of nanotechnology-based sensors, different types of nanotechnology-based sensor (optical, electrochemical, and magnetic), nanotechnology-based sensors' design and fabrication, nano biosensors, and more. Additional sections focus on important specific pollutants (pesticides, heavy metal, dyes, toxic gas, pharmaceutical waste, petroleum hydrocarbons, and pathogenic microbes) and their detection by nanotechnology-based sensors and important nanomaterials in nanotechnology-based sensors, exploring carbon-based and non-carbon-based material in nanoscale (graphene, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, magnetic nanomaterials, non-magnetic nanoparticles) and also point-of-care sensors and functionalization to generate optimized nanotechnology-based sensors to pollutants' detection.
