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 laser fired at a sheet of titanium dioxide changes the configuration of the crystal where it hits – a technique, developed by the quantum startup memQ, that enables scientists to design a more ...

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 ...

Erbium laser resurfacing is designed to improve fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture with minimal downtime. Lighter-toned Black, Hispanic, or Asian skin tones may benefit from Erbium laser ...

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 ...

Erbium is a lanthanide series rare-earth element (atomic number 68) characterized by a [Xe]4f¹²6s² electron configuration and prominent 4f–4f optical transitions that yield narrow emission lines, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have successfully miniaturized a powerful erbium-based biber laser on a silicon-nitride photonic chip. Since typical erbium-based fiber lasers are large and difficult to scale down, the ...
