Example Sentences

"The advantage of our method is its high efficiency, as all photon detection events are useful. The drawback is relatively high measurement error rates. However, these do not prevent QKD, as we showed in collaboration with researchers working on the theory of quantum cryptography. Furthermore, we do not need to rebuild the setup for different dimensions of superpositions -- we can detect 2D and 4D superpositions without changing hardware or stabilizing the receiver. This is a huge advantage compared to earlier methods," adds Widomski.

"With standard 2D MXenes, the flakes lay flat on top of each other, which creates a confined-space and a difficult path for ions or molecules to navigate and move between the layers," said Teng Zhang, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher in the College of Engineering and co-author of the study.

"By converting 2D nanosheets into 1D scrolls, we prevent this nano-confinement effect. The open, tubular geometry effectively creates 'highways' for rapid transport, allowing ions to move freely."

From Science Daily

"In a standard stacked 2D structure, the active sites for molecular adsorption are often hidden between layers, making it difficult for molecules, especially large biomolecules to reach them," Gogotsi said.

From Science Daily

This rapid workflow produced stacks of 2D images that researchers later combined to create full 3D models.
