Using an atomically thin material, hexagonal boron nitride, placed on nanopillars, scientists have created an array of quantum emitters operating at room temperature that could be integrated into next generation quantum communication systems.

Researchers have developed a system that harnesses the power of bubbles to propel tiny particles through the surfaces of microbial films—which often coat medical devices, household items, and the inside of water supply pipes—and kill the microbes living inside.
