Faraday effect in a 2D semiconductor. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-47294-5 It has been known for centuries that light exhibits wave-like behavior in certain situations. Some materials are able to rotate the polarization, i.e. the direction of oscillation, of the light wave when the light passes through the material. This property is utilized in […]
The dynamics of coupled oscillators, such as those shown here, can be simulated faster with a new quantum algorithm. Credit: Nathan Johnson | Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Though “coupled oscillations” may not sound familiar, they are everywhere in nature. The term “coupled harmonic oscillators” describes interacting systems of masses and springs, but their utility in […]
Open-source software provides network components that you can use to simulate 5G network functions from the network core to the radio. by Lincoln Lavoie, University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab Developing and deploying a laboratory infrastructure to support testing 5G and open radio-access network (Open RAN) systems can present a daunting and complex task. Prior […]
Key Things to Know: Advancing AIB Technology: Ammonium Ion Batteries (AIBs) offer a safer, more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional batteries, using ammonium acetate (NH4Ac) which prevents dendritic growth and enhances battery life. Innovative Anode Materials: Recent developments in anode materials such as MXenes, explored through DFT calculations, show promising low voltage performance and high […]
