“Nanostructured surfaces enable lab-on-a-chip lung cancer diagnosis. A miniaturized plasmonic spectrometer that creates a rainbow pattern that shifts in the presence of a chemical or biological sample has been developed. Crucially, these spectral shifts can be observed in a standard …
“Inexpensive catalyst uses energy from light to turn ammonia into hydrogen fuel Rice University researchers have engineered a key light-activated nanomaterial for the hydrogen economy. Using only inexpensive raw materials, a team from Rice’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics, Syzygy Plasmonics …
“Amid fierce industry competition, Samsung aims to overtake TSMC in 3-nanometer technology. Samsung Electronics Co., the world’s largest memory chipmaker, will make semiconductors with the industry’s most advanced 3-nanometer process node for its clients, including Nvidia, Qualcomm Technologies …
“Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and UC Santa Cruz scientists have detected a previously hypothesized class of nitrogen fixation in the surface ocean. Nitrogen scarcity limits the growth of ocean phytoplankton, a globally important carbon sink and the base of …
“An inexpensive piece of hardware integrated with solar panel controllers can protect isolated power networks from cyberattacks. One advantage of small-scale renewable energy systems is that they can be arranged into networks that operate independently of the main electric grid …
News Simple semiconductor solutions could boost solar energy generation and enable better space probes
“A ‘simple’ tweak to perovskite solar cells during the fabrication stage could help to unlock the untold potential of the renewable energy source, claims research from the University of Surrey. Surrey’s Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) has demonstrated that by …
“ST has introduced LSM6DSV16X, the flagship 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) embedding ST’s Sensor Fusion Low Power (SFLP) technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and adaptive-self-configuration (ASC) for superior power optimization. The advanced architecture of the LSM6DSV16X enables sophisticated processing in …
“A multi-institution research team has developed an optical chip that can train machine learning hardware. Machine learning applications skyrocketed to $165B annually, according to a recent report from McKinsey. But, before a machine can perform intelligence tasks such as recognizing …
“The past several years have been an exciting time in quantum computing. Billions of dollars have been invested, and there’s no shortage of advocates and detractors. Activity and momentum across the quantum community continue to grow. For proof, there …
“In Switzerland, tire and road wear particles are one of the biggest sources of microplastics released into the environment, yet the chemical compounds contained in those particles – and their effects – remain largely a mystery. To remedy that knowledge gap, scientists …
