The ‘breath’ between atoms — a new building block for quantum technology

University of Washington researchers have discovered they can detect atomic “breathing,” or the mechanical vibration between two layers of atoms, by observing the type of light those atoms emitted when stimulated by a laser. The sound of this atomic “breath” could help researchers encode and transmit quantum information.

Tweaks Behind the Rebirth of Nearly Discarded Organic Solar Technologies

A minuscule, counterintuitive chemical tweak is advancing an organic solar technology that was believed unviable.
