“Made from inexpensive, abundant materials, an aluminum-sulfur battery could provide low-cost backup storage for renewable energy sources. As the world builds out ever larger installations of wind and solar power systems, the need is growing fast for economical, large-scale backup …
“Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger details how advanced compute and packaging are needed to meet the world’s insatiable demand for compute and implement fully immersive digital experiences at Hot Chips 34. At Hot Chips 34, Intel highlights the latest architectural …
“ETH physicists demonstrate how atoms can be pumped through a synthetic crystal without having to apply external periodic driving. These experiments combine several key aspects of quantum many-body physics in unexpected ways, thus paving a novel path to understanding …
“A simple reordering of the layers in solar-cell modules can help improve efficiency. A solar-cell module that mitigates cell-to-module losses has been developed by KAUST researchers following a rethink of the module’s optical design and how it should be …
“A new experiment performed at the University of Innsbruck in collaboration with researchers from Bayreuth, Dortmund, Münster, and Linz allows to double the information transfer rate in future quantum communication systems with the SUPER method. All over the world, physicists …
“PhD student Pablo Leon uses machine learning to expedite research on novel battery materials, while helping newer students navigate graduate school. To help combat climate change, many car manufacturers are racing to add more electric vehicles in their lineups. But …
“The therapy our ailing planet needs is a major change in energy and agricultural practices, and improved monitoring. Máté Bezdek, formerly a researcher at MIT and now an assistant professor at the LAC / D-CHAB, is addressing these global challenges …
“The physics of collective motion has been well-studied for the last thirty years. Until now, scientists have focused on the study of ‘fluid’ movements, such as those of flocks of birds or schools of fish. Using an ingenious experimental device …
“The nuclear physics research programme at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory is entering an exciting time. After completing its 22nd successful physics run, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a DOE Office of Science …
“Two astrophotographers have teamed up to produce an out-of-this-world photo of the moon, capturing over 200,000 shots to create a single image. Andrew McCarthy and Connor Matherne collaborated last November to push their photography skills to the limit. Their …
