New system dramatically speeds the search for polymer materials
Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyPeer-Reviewed Publication
MIT researchers developed a fully autonomous platform that can identify, mix, and characterize novel polymer blends until it finds the optimal blend. This system could streamline the design of new composite materials for sustainable biocatalysis, better batteries, cheaper solar panels, and safer drug-delivery materials.

Magnetizing quantum communication
Kyoto UniversityPeer-Reviewed Publication
Kyoto, Japan -- As the demand for more secure data transmission increases, conventional communication technologies are facing limitations imposed by classical physics, and are therefore approaching their limits in terms of security. Fortunately, quantum communication may help us overcome these restrictions.
Quantum communication harnesses the quantum nature of light by utilizing single photons as information carriers. This is a fundamentally different approach from conventional communication technologies and has the potential to lead to the development of secure, high-performance communication systems.
These future quantum technologies will require new single-photon emission sources. Recently, extremely thin two-dimensional semiconductors with a thickness of only a few atomic layers have shown great potential due to their excellent electrical and optical properties. Although increasing the efficiency of such single-photon generation is extremely important, the capacity of these materials and its strategy had not been thoroughly explored.

New research simulates cancer cell behavior
University of Maryland School of MedicinePeer-Reviewed Publication
In the same vein as weather forecast models that predict developing storms, researchers now have developed a method to predict the cell activity in tissues over time. The new software combines genomics technologies with computational modeling to predict cell changes in behavior, such as communication between cells that could cause cancer cells to flourish.
