Compact sources of entangled photons are desired for quantum communication, computing, and cryptography. Here, the authors report high entangled photon pair generation rates in rhombohedral boron nitride, showing its potential as a tunable platform for Bell state generation.
This approach is not only faster and more energy-efficient but also delivers precise control over the material’s optical properties.

Founded in 1887 and part of the University of North Carolina system, North Carolina State University (also referred to as NCSU, NC State, or just State) is a public land-grant research university in Raleigh, North Carolina. NC State offers a wide range of academic programs and disciplines, including the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, business, and education. It is known for its strong programs in engineering, science, and technology and is a leader in research and innovation. It forms one of the corners of the Research Triangle together with Duke University in Durham and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
In a randomized controlled trial in individuals with persistent atrial fibrillation, an individualized ablation procedure, in which areas with abnormal electrophysiological characteristics—as detected by an AI algorithm—were targeted for ablation, led to improved efficacy for reducing arrhythmia recurrence at 12 months following the ablation procedure.
Multiagent AI systems are transforming enterprise automation, as demonstrated by BeeAI’s open-source framework, bringing new capabilities to business workflows and developer tools.
February 2025 features Comet CK-25, observed with AI-driven telescopic networks for real-time imaging and analysis. A spectacular planetary alignment of Mercury, Venus, and Mars will be enhanced by augmented reality devices for interactive viewing. A partial lunar eclipse will occur on February 27th-28th, with an immersive experience via the Virtual Lunar Observation Platform (VLOP). Technological advancements highlight new methods of observing and interacting with space events, bridging Earth and the cosmos. February 2025 is set to mesmerize stargazers and tech enthusiasts alike, as the cosmos aligns with cutting-edge advancements in astronomical observation. This month isn’t just about celestial spectacles; it’s about witnessing how new technology is redefining our view of space from Earth.
Unexpected epochs of stillness that punctuate the cosmic timeline could offer a natural explanation for dark matter and many other unsolved astronomical mysteries.
