[Phys.org]Manufacturing-friendly SiC boasts quantum credenti...[2020-05-31]
Decoherence is the bane of quantum technologies. In coherent systems, the phase of the wave functions representing the quantum states of particles in the system have definite relations between each other. This allows quantum devices to operate in a meaningful way that differs from classical devices. However, interacting with the world around us rapidly leads to decoherence, which makes it harder t... -

Violent Volcanism Triggers The Late Ordovician Mass Extincti...[2020-05-22]
The Late Ordovician mass extinction of about 445 million year ago eliminated ~85% of marine species globally. It has been ranked as the second-most severe biotic crisis in Earth’s history, with the most famous being the Cretaceous-Paleogene event that wiped out all non-avian dinosaurs about 65 million years ago. A new study led by Yanan Shen from University of Science and Technology of China of C...
