In this episode, we cover a solar device that makes dirty water clean, dual-frequency combs that hit record speeds, and how quantum light can 'hear' sounds in molecules.
A floating solar device may soon help millions of people worldwide who don’t currently have access to clean drinking water. Scientists in the U.K. have developed technology that turns contaminated water into purified water and clean hydrogen fuel simultaneously.
Thanks, in part, to an electro-optic setup, a team of researchers led by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology has created a dual-frequency comb system that can detect specific molecules in a sample as quickly as every 20 nanoseconds.
