When Benjamin Choquel (FRA) arrived in Townsville he knew he had a great chance to win the world title in the elite men's duathlon. A year ago Mario Mola missed out on him in Ibiza, but with his Spanish rival absent, Choquel had the chance to reclaim the crown he first won in 2019. However, with reigning European champion Arnaud Deri (BEL) and defending bronze medallist from Ibiza, Krylan Le Bien (FRA), in the mix, Choquel's task was far from easy. The trio led the first lap of the 5km run, with Le Bien holding a slight lead, and the…

Insider Brief Kyoto University researchers have developed a technique to reduce Moiré excitons, enabling precise measurements of quantum coherence times, which are essential for advances in quantum technology. The study revealed that Moiré excitons maintain quantum coherence for more than 12 picoseconds at -269°C, a significant improvement over conventional two-dimensional semiconductors. The work lays the foundation for future experiments in quantum computing and next-generation nanosemiconductors. Quantum technology relies on qubits, whose operation is affected by quantum coherence time. Scientists believe that Moiré excitons – electron-hole pairs trapped in overlapping Moiré interference fringes – could serve as quantum bits in future…
