From gas storage to next-gen electronics

Illustration of the main topics of this review. Credit: SmartMat (2024). DOI: 10.1002/smm2.1309 A recent study shines a spotlight on the development of covalent organic frameworks (COFs), particularly imine-linked varieties. Known for their tunable structure and remarkable stability, imine-linked COFs are set to revolutionize industries ranging from gas capture to advanced electronics. By focusing on […]

World’s 1st mechanical qubit uses no light or electronics. It could lead to ultra-precise gravity-sensing tech.

Scientists have created the world’s first mechanical qubit: a tiny, moving system that stores quantum information using vibrations instead of electric currents or light. Qubits are the fundamental units of quantum information. Unlike the bits you’d find in a classical computer, qubits can exist as 0, 1, or a superposition of both, thanks to the […]
