Part of the lanthanide series, erbium (Er) is a rare-earth element found in a wide range of minerals like blomstrandine, polycrase, fergusonite, euxenite, xenotime, and gadolinite. C.G. Mosander ...

A laser fired at a sheet of titanium dioxide changes the configuration of the crystal where it hits – a technique, developed by the quantum startup memQ, that enables scientists to design a more ...

Erbium laser resurfacing is designed to improve fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture with minimal downtime. Lighter-toned Black, Hispanic, or Asian skin tones may benefit from Erbium laser ...

A new, highly dangerous malware called “Erbium” has been making the rounds over the last couple of months, and it’s highly likely that it will spread to new channels. Erbium is an information-stealing ...

Rose Ahlefeldt receives funding from the Australian Research Council. If you were to try reciting the periodic table, you might stumble before you got to the rare earth elements. Comprising yttrium ...

Pro ‘In AI models, the real bottleneck isn’t computing power — it’s memory’: Phison CEO on 244TB SSDs, PLC NAND, why high-bandwidth flash isn’t a good idea, and why CSP profit goes hand in hand with ...

Random wavelengths: artist's impression of a method for measuring and controlling quantum spins developed at Princeton University. (Courtesy: Rachel Davidowitz) The spin states of entangled erbium ...

The quantum computer has the potential to revolutionize the 21st century, solving problems so massively complex they would baffle today’s computers. But a single quantum computer is still no match for ...

Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) are devices that can provide gain to the optical signal power in optical fibers, often used in long-distance communication fiber optic cables and fiber-based ...

Scientists have successfully miniaturized a powerful erbium-based biber laser on a silicon-nitride photonic chip. Since typical erbium-based fiber lasers are large and difficult to scale down, the ...
