Advancing Cancer Treatment with Metal-free Graphene Quantum Dot ‘Nanozymes’ – “Proving to be Highly Effective for Tumor Therapy”

A research group led by Prof. WANG Hui from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has introduced a metal-free nanozyme based on graphene quantum dots (GQDs) for highly efficient tumor chemo dynamic therapy (CDT). The study was published in Matter. GQDs represent a promising and cost-effective means of addressing the toxicity concerns associated with metal-based nanozymes in tumor CDT. However, the limited catalytic activity of GQDs has posed significant challenges for their clinical application, particularly under challenging catalytic conditions. Graphene quantum dots, emerging as a

The most powerful AI processing supercomputer in the world is set to be built in Germany, and planned to become operational within a mere year. Crikey.

AI processing can take a huge amount of computing power, but by the looks of this latest joint project from the Jülich Supercomputing Center and French computing provider Eviden, power will not be in short supply. The two companies have signed a deal to build a new data centre to house an exascale-class supercomputer that they say will be capable of performing one quintillion floating-point operations per second, or one exaFLOPS in HPC (high performance computing) output.The JUPITER supercomputer (if you're wondering, the Joint Undertaking Pioneer for Innovative and Transformative

Graphene-based semiconductor has a useful bandgap and high electron mobility – Physics World

Epigraphene on a chip: the team's graphene device was grown on a silicon carbide substrate. (Courtesy: Georgia Institute of Technology) Researchers in China and the US have created a functional semiconductor made from graphene, a feat that they describe as a first. By expanding on existing fabrication techniques, Walter de Heer and colleagues at Tianjin University and the Georgia Institute of Technology have created a develop a bandgap in the 2D material, while retaining graphene’s robust and easily tuneable properties. Silicon is the backbone of modern semiconductor electronics. However, the

Spin supersolid appears in a quantum antiferromagnet – Physics World

The figure illustrates the adiabatic cooling process of a spin supersolid, as compared to paramagnetic cooling, highlighting the unique features of spin supersolid cooling. The triangular lattice structure and experimental devices (with NBCP compounds) for adiabatic magnetocaloric measurements are also included in the insets. (Courtesy: W Li) Researchers in China, France and Australia have found new evidence for an exotic quantum state of matter called a spin supersolid. The discovery, made in an antiferromagnetic material with a triangular atomic lattice structure, represents a breakthrough in fundamental physics and might also

CCC Releases the 5 Year Update to the Next Steps in Quantum Computing Workshop Report » CCC Blog

Quantum computing has captured the public’s attention due to its incredible theoretical applications, but the intensely complicated underlying physics make it difficult for even computing experts in other fields to understand. Computing researchers in other disciplines, however, have valuable knowledge to aid in the development of quantum computers. “To increase momentum in quantum system progress, we must lower the barrier to entry”, says Kaitlin N. Smith, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Northwestern University. “Scientists shouldn’t be required to have an expert-level understanding of quantum mechanics to contribute their skill
