Researchers at Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD) have announced that they can make specific sequences of DNA light up beneath a microscope by using quantum dots, two biological probes, and a ...

Caltech scientists have created a quantum microscope that taps into the quirky quantum rules to see tiny details much more clearly. Using pairs of entangled photons allows the instrument to double the ...

Such alignment is critical for chip-scale devices that employ the radiation emitted by quantum dots to store and transmit quantum information. For the first time, the NIST researchers achieved this ...

Red arrows indicate the nuclear spin axes at the positions of the N3 nitrogen atoms on the guanine (G) bases. Due to the helical structure of DNA, there is an angular deviation in the orientation of ...

In a recent study published in Optica, scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) created a 3D quantum ghost imaging microscope, the first of its type. Until now, two dimensions or ...

Accurate alignment of quantum dots with photonic components is critical for extracting the radiation emitted by the dots. In this illustration, a quantum dot centered in the optical "hotspot" of a ...
