Manipulating the intrinsic light–matter interaction with high-Q resonances in an etch-free van der Waals metasurface https://t.co/osiTbjcH16 Unlike prior etched vdW work (Q~300 in hBN/WS₂), this method expands material options, avoids sidewall reactivity, and simplifies

Photoresist Plays Pretend, Tricks Light into Thinking It’s Carved, Saves Materials from the Knife. The artificial hack outsmarts real fabrication, proving laziness (or cleverness) wins in nanophotonics. Etch-free van der Waals metasurfaces achieve Q-factors up to 348, enabling

A quantum resistance memristor for an intrinsically traceable International System of Units standard | Nature Nanotechnology https://t.co/yqniv68wZe While QHE demands superconducting heroics, memristors – glitchy memory tech – ironically become metrology’s unsung heroes, turning

Quantum Leap in Metrology •• SI Units Go DIY. Memristive Devices Deliver Room-Temperature Resistance Standards, Eliminating Calibration Chains – Embedding NMI-level precision on chips, traceable to fundamental constants like G₀. Memristors make everyone a mini-metrologist, no

Sustainable memristors from shiitake mycelium for high-frequency bioelectronics | PLOS One https://t.co/tUYvFicw6A Energy savings eliminate standby power, cutting data center emissions. Using mushrooms avoids rare-earth metals, reducing costs 10-100x and combating e-waste’s 50M

Fungal Memristors Herald Eco-Friendly, Brain-Like Computing Breakthrough. Edible fungi, often pizza toppings, may outshine silicon, flipping the script on Big Tech’s resource-heavy chips. Researchers at Ohio State University engineered memristors – devices that process and store

Observed galaxy number counts on the light cone up to third order | Phys. Rev. D https://t.co/vrgzZ2Iskm While claiming “digestibility,” the derivation’s length ironically mirrors the universe’s complexity– showing that simplifying relativity is an oxymoron. Yet, it’s a

128 Pages to Say ‘Galaxies Aren’t Where They Seem’ • Universe Plays Hide-and-Seek at Third Order. Just when we thought second-order perturbations were messy enough, third-order reveals even more hidden relativistic twists– the cosmos demands we zoom out to see the fine print.

Evidence for small-scale torsional Alfvén waves in the solar corona | Nature Astronomy https://t.co/kn9QEuOitQ Despite Nobel-winning prediction, these waves evaded detection for generations due to masking by dominant swaying (kink) waves. Morton’s novel analysis stripped away

Sun’s Twisted Secret •• Alfvén Waves Play Hard-to-Get Since 1942, Only to Be Caught Twirling in Plain Sight. Small-Scale Torsional Alfvén Waves Finally Observed in Sun’s Corona, Ending 80-Year Quest. Researchers used the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope’s Cryo-NIRSP instrument

Coexistence of Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution and Classical Data over 120 km Fiber | Phys. Rev. Lett. https://t.co/P3qjSYFnGw Quantum computers loom as crypto-killers, yet quantum physics counters with QKD – essentially, the universe’s way of saying “fight fire

Physics - Secure Quantum Communication Breaks Distance Record https://t.co/5OhUFTwb3s

Lazy Genius Wins Again • Researchers from Denmark and the Czech Republic achieved a record 120 km transmission of continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) data alongside fully loaded classical traffic in existing optical fibers, without extra hardware. They barely

Record Superconductivity in a Kagome Calcium Boride at High Pressure | Journal of the American Chemical Society https://t.co/FKmanjY4yN We’ve chased room-temp superconductors since 1911 (Onnes’ mercury at 4K), yet progress demands crushing pressures or exotic hydrides. CaB3’s
