Building a quantum internet requires moving quantum information from light to solid materials such as crystals. Researchers at Nanjing University have now achieved such 'quantum teleportation' on a platform operating fully at telecommunications frequencies, reaching a technological milestone in the development of practical quantum networks.

Researchers at Hefei University of Technology and Southeast University have comprehensively reviewed the recent advances in arc-linear motors (ALMs). Then, the major merits and demerits of various ALMs are identified and summarized. Finally, Researchers discussed the main issues and core challenges of ALMs, and proposed the perspectives as well to promote a more comprehensive understanding for ALM.

In the development of laser-driven color converters with simultaneously possessing excellent optical performance and superior heat dissipation, high-brightness laser lighting faces grave challenges. Herein, a reflective sandwich color converter of phosphor‐in‐glass film with sapphire and alumina (sapphire@PiGF@alumina, abbreviated as S@PiGF@A) is designed and prepared by a thermocompression bonding method. Benefiting from the high thermal conductivity and double-sided heat dissipation channels of alumina and sapphire, the S@PiGF@A color converter can withstand high laser power density and produce ultra-high luminescence. Consequently, the optimized S@PiGF@A converter yields white light with an ultrahigh luminous flux of 6749 lm at a laser power density saturation threshold of 47.70W/mm², which is 2.44 times that of traditional PiGF@alumina color converter (2522 lm@19.53 W/mm²). The findings provide valuable guidelines to design high quality PiGF color converter for high brightness laser-driven white lighting.

Zeolites have high ion exchange capacity and certain radiation resistance. However, their traditional synthesis methods have problems such as high temperature and pressure and difficult control of morphology. Moreover, powdered zeolites are prone to high pressure drop during dynamic adsorption, which limits their practical engineering applications. Therefore, developing spherical zeolites synthesis technology that combines high mechanical strength, excellent radiation resistance and efficient adsorption performance has become a core challenge in the field of radioactive pollution control.

In a paper published in National Science Review, Professor Yan Shi and his graduate student Shihan Dai from Xidian University, China, proposed a novel multi-target simultaneous intelligent detection approach based on space-time-coding metasurfaces and software defined radio technologies, with experimental validation across diverse liquid samples under complicated ambient conditions.
