Chalmers University of Technology

A research group, led by Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, presents an ordinary silk thread, coated with a conductive plastic material, that shows promising properties for turning textiles into electricity generators. Here, a button is sewn with the new thread.

In the new communication system from researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, a weak optical signal (red) from the spacecraft's transmitter can be amplified noise-free when it encounters two so-called pump waves (blue and green) of different frequencies in a receiver on Earth. Thanks to the researchers' noise-free amplifiers in the receiver, the signal is kept undisturbed and the reception on Earth becomes record-sensitive, which in turn paves the way for a more error-free and faster data transmission in space in the future.

The researchers built a system (circuit diagram on the left) that can be controlled by microwave pulses (wiggly arrow) to turn on or off different operations. This system creates a special quantum state (cubic phase state) useful for fixing errors in quantum computers. The blue areas on the right show a unique property (Wigner negative regions) that proves this state is truly quantum.
