Cooling Electronics of the Future
DOE/US Department of Energy
Scientists have developed a new approach to cooling materials using a calorimetric scanning probe. The experiment used a very small calorimeter and a simple LED to cool solid-state materials. By running the electrical current in the LED in the opposite direction than it normally moves, the scientists could suppress the amount of heat the material gave off as photons moved from the material to the LED.

Creating the heart of a quantum computer: developing qubits
DOE/US Department of Energy
To use quantum computers on a large scale, we need to improve the technology at their heart -- qubits. Qubits are the quantum version of conventional computers' most basic form of information, bits. The DOE's Office of Science is supporting research into developing the ingredients and recipes to build these challenging qubits.

Creating the heart of a quantum computer
DOE/US Department of Energy
Quantum computers have the potential to solve problems that conventional computers can't. To use quantum computers on a large scale, we need to improve the technology in qubits. The DOE's Office of Science is supporting research into developing the ingredients and recipes to build these challenging qubits.
