A Low-Cost Robot Ready for Any Obstacle

“This little robot can go almost anywhere. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science and the University of California, Berkeley, have designed a robotic system that enables a low-cost and relatively small legged robot to climb and …

An on-chip time-lens generates ultrafast pulses

“New device opens the doors to applications in communication, quantum computing, astronomy. Femtosecond pulsed lasers — which emit light in ultrafast bursts lasting a millionth of a billionth of a second — are powerful tools used in a range of applications from …

Atomically-thin ribbons can dramatically improve batteries needed for clean transport, as well as solar power

“PNRs are ribbon-like strands of the 2D material phosphorous, which, like graphene, are made of single-atom-thick layers of atoms. They were first created in 2019 by a team led by Professor Chris Howard of UCL following over a hundred theoretical …

Fedora Linux 37 Released with Linux 6.0, GNOME 43, and Official Raspberry Pi 4 Support

“The Fedora Project released today the final version of the Fedora Linux 37 distribution, a major update to this Red Hat-sponsored distro that comes with some of the latest and greatest GNU/Linux technologies. Fedora Linux 37 is one of …

Graphene scientists explore electronic materials with nanoscale curved geometries

“In a recently published paper in Nature Electronics, an international research group from Italy, Germany, the UK, and China examined significant development directions in the field of electronic materials with curved geometries at the nanoscale. From microelectronic devices with enhanced …

Hard to crack hardware

“Advanced electronic components based on spintronic concepts could add additional protection to smart devices. Next-generation electronic devices could feature enhanced security systems built directly into their circuitry to help fend off malicious attacks. Protective “logic locks” — based on an advanced …

High-temperature superconductivity in lanthanum, yttrium, and cerium ternary hydrides

“Researchers reveal new crystal structures of hydride compounds showing high-temperature superconductivity using data science and supercomputer simulations High-temperature superconductors have been a point of interest over the past decade. Ternary hydrides composed of lanthanum and yttrium have exhibited superconductivity at …

How does radiation travel through dense plasma?

“First-of-its-kind experimental evidence defies conventional theories about how plasmas emit or absorb radiation. Most people are familiar with solids, liquids, and gases as three states of matter. However, a fourth state of matter, called plasmas, is the most abundant form …

Hundreds of Renesas’ Intersil-Brand Radiation-Hardened ICs Lift Off Onboard Artemis 1 Mission to the Moon

“Devices on Both the Space Launch System and Orion Capsule Provide Critical Functions for Seminal Mission Heralding Humankind’s Return to the Heavens. Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced that hundreds of …

IBM and Vodafone Join Forces in Exploration of Quantum Computing Technology and Quantum-Safe Cryptography

“IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced today at the IBM Quantum Summit 2022 that Vodafone Group is collaborating with IBM on quantum-safe cybersecurity, and also joining the IBM Quantum Network, which will give the company cloud access to IBM’s advanced quantum …
