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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A team led by Francesca Ferlaino has set a new milestone in atomic physics by trapping individual erbium atoms in optical tweezers for the first time. Taking advantage of erbium's complex electronic ...

Scientists at the University of Chicago and their collaborators have developed a new kind of molecular qubit that could ...

Structural characterizations for the as-prepared catalysts. (a) XRD patterns of the Co3O4 and 4% Er−Co3O4. (b) Crystal structure of the Co3O4 in this study. (c) TEM image of 4% Er− Co3O4, (d-e) HRTEM ...

A team of Danish and German scientists has launched a major project to create new technology that could form the foundation of the future quantum internet. They re using a rare element called erbium ...

The new 'Erbium' information-stealing malware is being distributed as fake cracks and cheats for popular video games to steal victims' credentials and cryptocurrency wallets. Erbium is a new ...

Researchers in southern Germany made a novel optical resonator that they say looks ideal for the construction of quantum networks. The collaboration featuring the Max Planck Institute of Quantum ...
