The playbook for perfect polaritons: Rules for creating quasiparticles that can power optical computers, quantum devices

Light is fast, but travels in long wavelengths and interacts weakly with itself. The particles that make up matter are tiny ...

What is basal metabolic rate? How calculating your BMR can help you lose weight

Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the calories your body burns at rest. Knowing your BMR can help determine how many calories you ...

Quantum fluctuations found hidden beneath classical optical signals in polaritons

When optical materials (molecules or solid-state semiconductors) are embedded in tiny photonic boxes, known as optical ...

Adaptive Data-Driven Secondary Control for Renewables Dominated Islanded Microgrids and Field Tests

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel adaptive data-driven secondary control method for islanded microgrids (MGs) dominated by grid-forming (GFM) inverters, without depending on accurate network ...
