Temperature distribution in an active plasmonic waveguide on an optoelectronic chip with a cooling system Researchers from MIPT have found a solution to the problem of the overheating of active plasmonic components for high-speed data transfer in the optoelectronic...
Scientists can now identify the exact location of a single atom in a silicon crystal, a discovery that is key for greater accuracy in tomorrow's silicon based quantum computers. It's now possible to track and see individual phosphorus atoms in...
