In recent years, researchers have been experimenting with a wide range of solar cell designs in the hope of facilitating their widespread deployment. Organic solar cells based on perovskite materials have been found to exhibit various advantages over conventional […]
Experimental concept. a, Schematic for an example subsystem X of four qubits within a 16-qubit lattice. The subsystem has a volume of 4 (maroon sites) and an area of 8 (orange lines). b, 2D HCBH lattice emulated by the superconducting quantum circuit. Each site can be occupied by, at most, a single particle. c, Energy […]
UAW President Shawn Fain said workers at Daimler Truck are prepared to strike if their demands are not met. Around 7,200 workers with Daimler Truck in three southern US states were poised Friday for a potential strike as labor contract talks headed down to the wire. Representatives for the United Auto Workers and Daimler Truck […]
