A sensor that might someday enable ‘mind-controlled’ robots

“It sounds like something from science fiction: Don a specialized, electronic headband and control a robot using your mind. But now, recent research published in ACS Applied Nano Materials has taken a step toward making this a reality. By designing …

A shot in the arm

“Researchers develop new, patient-friendly hydrogel platform for administering lifesaving biologics. Biologics, a class of therapeutics derived from living organisms, offer enormous advantages to patients battling challenging diseases and disorders. Treatments based on biologics can boost the immune system to stem …

Absolute Zero in the Quantum Computer

“Erasing data perfectly and reaching the lowest possible temperature – those two things seem to be completely different, but they are closely intertwined. At TU Wien, a quantum formulation has now been found for the third law of thermodynamics. The absolute …

Advance in technology paves the way to realistic 3D holograms for virtual reality and more

“Researchers overcome two bottlenecks in current digital holographic techniques Researchers have developed a new way to create dynamic ultrahigh-density 3D holographic projections. By packing more details into a 3D image, this type of hologram could enable realistic representations of the …

ALICE sees “the ridge” in simplest collisions yet

“The observation brings physicists a step closer to finding the origin of collective phenomena in small collision systems. When atomic nuclei such as gold or lead nuclei collide at high energy in particle colliders, they can produce quark–gluon plasma …

AMD Launches First 5nm ASIC-based Media Accelerator Card to Power New Era of Interactive Media Services at Scale

“AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced the AMD Alveo™ MA35D media accelerator featuring two 5nm, ASIC-based video processing units (VPUs) supporting the AV1 compression standard and purpose-built to power a new era of live interactive streaming services at scale. With …

Can a solid be a superfluid? Engineering a novel supersolid state from layered 2D materials

“A collaboration of Australian and European physicists predict that layered electronic 2D semiconductors can host a curious quantum phase of matter called the supersolid. The supersolid is a very counterintuitive phase indeed. It is made up of particles that simultaneously …

Click Away the Bias: New System to Make AI Training Easier and More Accurate

“Scientists devise a simple one-click system that can remove the biases commonly found in AI training datasets Deep neural networks (DNNs) that enable AI are often trained on datasets, but this can create problems as many datasets have co-occurrence biases …

Combining irradiation and lithography to engineer advanced conducting materials

“A large collaboration of researchers led by the University of Wollongong has used nuclear techniques at ANSTO and other methods to develop a process to engineer nanoscale arrays of conducting channels for advanced scalable electronic circuitry. As reported in a …

Creating a Mixed Magnon State in an Organic Hybrid Perovskite Material by DMI

“By making use of the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya-Interaction (DMI), an international research group has made a mixed magnon state in an organic hybrid perovskite material. The consequent material exhibits the potential for processing and storing quantum computing information. Also, the work …
