A single molecule, one hundred thousand times smaller than a human hair, may hold the key to unlocking the . Researchers have ...

A team of Danish and German scientists has launched a major project to create new technology that could form the foundation of the future quantum internet. They re using a rare element called erbium ...

The quantum computer has the potential to revolutionize the 21st century, solving problems so massively complex they would baffle today’s computers. But a single quantum computer is still no match for ...

Part of the lanthanide series, erbium (Er) is a rare-earth element found in a wide range of minerals like blomstrandine, polycrase, fergusonite, euxenite, xenotime, and gadolinite. C.G. Mosander ...

Fiber lasers use an optical fiber doped with rare-earth elements (erbium, ytterbium, neodymium, etc.) as their optical gain source. They emit high-quality beams, they are efficient and durable, and ...

Rose Ahlefeldt receives funding from the Australian Research Council. If you were to try reciting the periodic table, you might stumble before you got to the rare earth elements. Comprising yttrium ...

Structural characterizations for the as-prepared catalysts. (a) XRD patterns of the Co3O4 and 4% Er−Co3O4. (b) Crystal structure of the Co3O4 in this study. (c) TEM image of 4% Er− Co3O4, (d-e) HRTEM ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The Church publishes the Monitor ...

Russia's Rosatom is testing VVER nuclear fuel containing the neutron absorber erbium and uranium enriched to about 5%. It says such fuel could significantly increase the economic efficiency of nuclear ...
