Maintaining reliable communication during space missions is critical. Future missions—especially crewed missions to Mars—are ...

Should the eighth mission scheduled for August 21 occur as planned, it is believed that the X-37B spacecraft will spend more than a year in orbit. In May, the People’s Republic of China demonstrated a ...

Researchers at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin have developed a new method for trapping and controlling atoms near an ...

In the race to secure digital infrastructure against the looming threat of quantum computing, space has emerged as an indispensable theater. Satellites, once primarily vehicles for reconnaissance and ...

The U.S. Space Force expects to launch the eighth X-37B mission no earlier than Aug. 21. Credit: U.S. Space Force The U.S. Space Force plans to use its X-37B orbital test vehicle to conduct ...

Room-temperature quantum material built from 100 gold nanoantennas at LSU, published in Nature on July 15, 2026, can ...

Quantum materials could transform technologies ranging from powerful computers and ultrasecure communications to advanced ...

Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are semiconductor sources engineered to exploit intersubband transitions within multiple quantum‐well structures, enabling tailored emission across the mid-infrared and ...

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have broken a long standing barrier by managing to send single photons - that can’t be copied or split and thus are secure - in the network of optical fibers we ...

Opportunities span ultra-pure superconductors, enriched silicon, quantum-grade diamond, photonics, cryogenics, lasers, detectors, vacuum systems and interconnects. Suppliers that ease chokepoints, ...
