Researchers achieved the first real-world demonstration of quantum entanglement over a busy telecommunications fiber network. A single photon carrying quantum information had to travel more than 24 kilometers through an optical fiber already crowded with powerful internet signals. Despite the noise, it reached downtown Chicago still entangled with its partner at Northwestern University’s Evanston campus. [...]

Scientists at Northwestern University have developed a remarkable new material that can capture energy, store it for months, use it when needed, and then reset itself for reuse. Even more surprisingly, it behaves in a way that resembles living cells. The new material could one day help store renewable energy, power chemical reactions, clean up […]
