First experimental proof for brain-like computer with water and salt

Physics General News

25 April 2024

Theoretical physicists at Utrecht University, together with experimental physicists at Sogang University in South Korea, have succeeded in building an artificial synapse. This synapse works with water and salt and provides the first evidence that a system using the same medium as our brains can...

Airborne single-photon lidar system achieves high-resolution 3D imaging

Physics General News

25 April 2024

Researchers have developed a compact and lightweight single-photon airborne lidar system that can acquire high-resolution 3D images with a low-power laser. This advance could make single-photon lidar practical for air and space applications such as environmental monitoring, 3D terrain mapping and...

Demonstration of heralded three-photon entanglement on a photonic chip

Quantum Physics News

25 April 2024

Photonic quantum computers are computational tools that leverage quantum physics and utilize particles of light (i.e., photons) as units of information processing. These computers could eventually outperform conventional quantum computers in terms of speed, while also transmitting information across...
