Article about an invention from QOT published in Nature Photonics A team from the Center for Quantum Optical Technologies published results in the journal Nature Photonics. The paper demonstrates for the first time the conversion of microwave photons to optical photons using a device based on Rydberg atoms and operating at room temperature. The invention provides a new and highly sensitive method for measuring microwaves, […] >>

Biologists from the Center for New Technologies have published the results of their research in the journal Molecular Psychiatry Doctor Łukasz Szewczyk and professor Marta Wiśniewska have published the results of a five-year study in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. In collaboration with Professor Anna Molofsky (University of California, San Francisco), they investigated the role of the autism risk gene TCF7L2 in brain development. They discovered that TCF7L2 is a regulator of astrocyte development – […] >>
