Quantum scientists demonstrate world-first 3D atomic-scale quantum chip architecture

Scientists have shown that their pioneering single atom technology can be adapted to building 3D silicon quantum chips -- with precise interlayer alignment and highly accurate measurement of spin states. The 3D architecture is considered a major step in the development of a blueprint to build a large-scale quantum computer. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190107112955.htm

Meds: Important discovery for 'smart' films and encapsulation

New study has found that the properties of a material commonly used to create conductive or protective films and encapsulate drug compounds -- and the conditions in which this material will disassemble to release that medication -- may be different than initially thought. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190107110833.htm

Female penguins are getting stranded along the South American coast

Every year, thousands of Magellanic penguins are stranded along the South American coast -- from northern Argentina to southern Brazil -- 1,000 kilometers away from their breeding ground in northern Patagonia. Now researchers reporting in Current Biology on Jan. 7 have new evidence to explain the observation that the stranded birds are most often female: female penguins venture farther north than males do, where they are apparently more likely to run into trouble. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190107110825.htm

Green catalysts with Earth-abundant metals accelerate production of bio-based plastic

Scientists have developed and analyzed a novel catalyst for the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural, which is crucial for generating new raw materials that replace the classic non-renewable ones used for making many plastics. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190107095532.htm

Stock options worth more for women, senior managers, study finds

A novel new way of determining the value of employee stock options has yielded some surprising insights: Options granted to woman and senior managers are worth more because they hold them longer. And options that vest annually rather than monthly are worth more for the same reason. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190107095525.htm

Powerful X-ray beams unlock secrets of nanoscale crystal formation

High-energy X-ray beams and a clever experimental setup allowed researchers to watch a high-pressure, high-temperature chemical reaction to determine for the first time what controls formation of two different nanoscale crystalline structures in the metal cobalt. The technique allowed continuous study of cobalt nanoparticles as they grew from clusters including tens of atoms to crystals as large as five nanometers. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190107095520.htm

'Flipped' metal oxide cage can sort CO2 from CO

Scientists have studied host-guest interactions in vanadate clusters. V12 is a spherical bowl that hosts small molecules in its interior. The team created empty (guest-free) V12 for the first time. One of the 12 units of VO5 was found to flip inwards to fill the void vacated by the guest. Empty V12 could absorb CO2 but rejected CO, offering a way to separate these molecules for CO2 capture. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190107095518.htm
