Quantum networks can be practically implemented to interface with different quantum systems. In order to photonically link hybrid systems with combined unique properties of each constituent system, scientists must integrate ...
In an industry struggling to maintain profitability, it's curious that U.S. processing sweet corn—the corn that ends up in cans and freezer bags—is falling so far below its potential. Yet, that's what a new study in PLOS ...
