Quantum on the edge: Light shines on new pathway for quantum technology

Scientists have for the first time demonstrated the protection of correlated states between paired photons using the intriguing physical concept of topology. This experimental breakthrough opens a pathway to build a new type of quantum bit, the building blocks for quantum computers. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181101142910.htm

Reducing US coal emissions through biomass and carbon capture would boost employment

While the need for solutions for the impending consequences of rising global temperatures has become increasingly urgent, many have expressed concerns about the loss of jobs as current technologies like coal-fired power plants are phased out. A new study has run the numbers associated with the impacts of cutting coal plant jobs while at the same time employing techniques for bioenergy coupled with carbon capture and storage. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181101133934.htm

New tech delivers high-tech film that blocks electromagnetic interference

Chemists develop safe alternatives to phthalates used in plastics

Researchers have developed safer alternatives to the phthalate plasticizers used to enhance the suppleness, flexibility, and longevity of plastics. Phthalates leach out of plastics into food, water, and the environment, and there is mounting evidence suggesting that phthalate exposure can lead to a variety of health problems. The new chemicals are effective as plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) but can't leach out of PVC products because they are chemically bonded to the polymer chain. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181101133817.htm

Monitoring air pollution after Hurricane Maria

When Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico on Sept. 20, 2017, the storm devastated the island's electrical grid, leaving many people without power for months. This lack of electricity, as well as other storm-related damage, prevented air-quality monitoring in many areas. Now researchers have shown that low-cost sensors that run on solar energy can be used to monitor air pollution after a disaster. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/10/181031124851.htm
