Photons open the gateway for quantum networks

Quantum information can be sent optically, that is to say, using light, and the signal is comprised of photons, which is the smallest component (a quantum) of a light pulse. Quantum information is located in whichever path the photon is sent along --...

Fuel Additive Could Lead to Safer Jet Fuel

Airplane accidents are especially dangerous because jet fuel is highly flammable under crash conditions. On impact, jet fuel is dispersed in the air as a fine mist, which triggers a sequence of events that can lead to a fire engulfing an entire plane...

Graphene nano-coils are natural electromagnets: Rice University researchers discover graphene spirals could challenge macro solenoids

The secret is in a spiral form of atom-thin graphene that, remarkably, can be found in nature, according to Rice theoretical physicist Boris Yakobson and his colleagues.

Various Types of Air Nanofilters Commercialized in Iran

There is a layer of nanofibers in power plant nanofitlers made by Behran Filter Company," he said about the technical details of the filters. "The nanofilters have smaller pores in comparison with filter papers. Therefore, the efficiency in separation...

Iranian Scientists Use New Model to Reduce Errors in Prediction of Nanocomposites' Behavior

The difference between the results obtained from the model and experimental data is less than that of the previous models. Results of the research have applications in materials engineering, mechanical engineering and aerospace to decrease...

Hubble Maps Show Jupiter Changes and Prepare for Juno

New maps of Jupiter, produced using images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, provide a detailed window on the giant planet's dynamic features. The views come as the agency prepares for its Juno mission to arrive at Jupiter in a little less than a...
