Neuromorphic camera and machine learning aid nanoscopic imaging

“In a new study, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) show how a brain-inspired image sensor can go beyond the diffraction limit of light to detect miniscule objects such as cellular components or nanoparticles invisible to current microscopes …

New analysis method developed for nano and quantum materials

“Using electron microscopy to create ultrafast movies of nano-processes. A slow-motion movie on sports television channels shows processes in hundredths of a second. By contrast, processes on the nanoscale take place in the so-called femtosecond range: For example, an electron …

New chip for mobile devices knocks out unwanted signals

“The receiver chip efficiently blocks signal interference that slows device performance and drains batteries. Imagine sitting in a packed stadium for a pivotal football game — tens of thousands of people are using mobile phones at the same time, perhaps video …

New design enhances durability of inverted perovskite solar cells

“An international team — including U of T Engineering researchers — has developed a new technique to enhance the durability of inverted perovskite solar cells. The advancement is an important step toward commercialization of this emerging photovoltaic technology, which could significantly reduce …

New microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics expand STM32U5 series, raising performance and energy efficiency for IoT and embedded applications

“STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has expanded its STM32 family of advanced microcontrollers (MCUs) with extra STM32U5 devices that raise performance while squeezing power consumption for longer runtimes and energy …

New Quantum Sensing Technique Reveals Magnetic Connections

New superalloy could cut carbon emissions from power plants

“As the world looks for ways to cut greenhouse gas emissions, researchers from Sandia National Laboratories have shown that a new 3D-printed superalloy could help power plants generate more electricity while producing less carbon. Sandia scientists, collaborating with researchers at …

On the Road to Better Solid-State Batteries

“A Berkeley Lab-led team designs next-gen batteries at the atomic level. A team from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Florida State University has designed a new blueprint for solid-state batteries that are less dependent on specific chemical elements …

Our progress toward quantum error correction

“Three years ago, our quantum computers were the first to demonstrate a computational task in which they outperformed the fastest supercomputers. It was a significant milestone on our roadmap toward building a large-scale quantum computer, and the “hello world” moment …

Physicists Create New Model of Ringing Black Holes

“When two black holes collide into each other to form a new bigger black hole, they violently roil spacetime around them, sending ripples called gravitational waves outward in all directions. Previous studies of black hole collisions modeled the behavior of …
