World’s first quantum microsatellite demonstrates secure communication with multiple ground stations
The microsatellite and the portable OGS. Credit: Nature (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41586-025-08739-z To achieve this, the team developed several key technologies, including miniaturized decoy-state QKD light sources for quantum state preparation,…
Key decay mechanism behind superior biological effects of heavy-ion cancer therapy uncovered
Relaxation mechanisms in the hydrated pyrimidine cluster after heavy-ion irradiation. Credit: IMP Heavy-ion therapy, one of the most advanced radiotherapy techniques, has proven to be more effective than conventional X-rays…
Why does nature love spirals? The link to entropy
Credit: Ahmed Farag Ali and Aneta Wojnar There are moments in the history of human thought when a simple realization transforms our understanding of reality. A moment when chaos reveals…
Boosting the response speed of quantum LEDs via an excitation memory effect
Image of an emitting micro-QLED (approximately 60 microns in diameter) that demonstrates fast response capabilities. Credit: Lu et al. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used electroluminescent devices that emit light…
Metasurfaces entangle light and information in new study
Polarization and holographic information become entangled in a quantum hologram. Holographic letters demonstrate entanglement through polarization of paired photons. By selecting different polarizer orientations for one photon, specific letters in…
