For the first time, the quantum properties of two separated ions have been manipulated by microwaves, instead of the usual laser beams. Experiments performed by researchers at the U.S. National ...

Quantum computers could rapidly solve complex problems that would take the most powerful classical supercomputers decades to ...

Sodium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage are moving toward the mainstream. Wider use of these batteries could lead to lower costs, less fire risk, and less need for lithium, ...

Research at the Quantum Systems Accelerator has been steadily breaking new ground, quickening the pace toward flexible, stable quantum computers with capabilities well beyond those of today's ...

CATL's second-generation sodium-ion cells can reportedly discharge normally even at -40 degrees Celsius (-40F as temperature scales converge). Depending on the make and model, EV batteries perform the ...

While lithium ion battery prices are falling again, interest in sodium ion (Na-ion) energy storage has not waned. With a global ramp-up of cell manufacturing capacity under way, it remains unclear ...

Researchers demonstrated a new method of cooling trapped ions using chip-based systems, which could enable more stable and ...
