Flawed Diamonds Are a Quantum Sensor’s Best Friend

Quantum sensors take the biggest roadblock for quantum computers—unwanted interference, or noise—and turn it into a strength. Noise wrecks quantum computers because the quantum states they use for computation are affected by the slightest disturbances from the environment. But quantum sensors use those disturbances to detect minuscule changes in magnetic…

Mozambique Retools Weather Tech for Impactful Forecasting

Extreme weather events are increasingly impacting eastern and southern Africa, with Mozambique among the worst affected. In response, the country is overhauling its early warning system in collaboration with the Savona, Italy-based International Center for Environmental Monitoring Research Foundation (CIMA). Together, they aim to enhance the capacity for forecasting and…

Paragraf Is Building a “Blank Canvas” Graphene Foundry

Scientists and engineers have long touted graphene for use in electronic devices due to its excellent electrical conductivity, optical transparency, mechanical strength, and its ability to conduct heat and to remain stable under high temperatures. Graphene’s use in electronics at the commercial level, however, is still limited. That’s in part…
