Math error: A new study overturns 100-year-old understanding of color perception

“A paradigm shift away from the 3D mathematical description developed by Schrödinger and others to describe how we see color could yield more vibrant computer displays, TVs, printed materials, textiles and more A new study corrects an important error in …

New Method Can Remove Dyes From Wastewater

“North Carolina State University researchers have demonstrated that a synthetic polymer can remove certain dyes from water, and that the polymer can be recovered and reused. The findings offer a new potential method for cleaning wastewater after use by textiles …

New programmable materials can sense their own movements

“Engineers 3D print materials with networks of sensors directly incorporated. MIT researchers have developed a method for 3D printing materials with tunable mechanical properties, that sense how they are moving and interacting with the environment. The researchers create these sensing …

Optimizing SWAP Networks for Quantum Computing

“Experiment demonstrates how software-optimized circuits execute less error-prone quantum algorithms. A research partnership at the Advanced Quantum Testbed (AQT) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Chicago-based Super.tech (acquired by ColdQuanta in May 2022) demonstrated how to optimize …

Renesas’ RZ/N2L MPUs for Industrial Ethernet Simplify Implementation of Network Functionality in Industrial Equipment

“Integrated TSN-Compliant 3-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Supports High-Precision Real-time Communication Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the RZ/N2L microprocessor units (MPUs) for Industrial Ethernet communication that make it easy to …

Robotic Motion in Curved Space Defies Standard Laws of Physics

“When humans, animals, and machines move throughout the world, they always push against something, whether it’s the ground, air, or water. Until recently, physicists believed this to be a constant, following the law of conservation momentum. Now, researchers from …

Saving time, energy and money: CSU engineering professor aims to give carbon fiber the Midas touch

“The 27-second video plays on a loop and it’s mesmerizing to watch: Carbon fiber material pouring out of a 3-D printer and slowly swirling and stacking like soft-serve ice cream. Except there’s no ice cream cone or cup …

Scientists identify a plant molecule that sops up iron-rich heme

“The peptide is used by legumes to control nitrogen-fixing bacteria; it may also offer leads for treating patients with too much heme in their blood. Symbiotic relationships between legumes and the bacteria that grow in their roots are critical for …

Stars Shed Light on Why Stellar Populations Are So Similar in Milky Way

“Scientists have uncovered what sets the masses of stars, a mystery that has captivated astrophysicists for decades. Their answer? Stars, themselves. Using highly detailed simulations, a collaborative team led by researchers from the University of Texas at Austin has made …

STMicroelectronics launches multi-connectivity development kit for indoor and outdoor asset tracking

“The STEVAL-ASTRA1B multi-connectivity evaluation platform from STMicroelectronics provides a complete ecosystem for building complete proof-of-concept for asset tracking systems. Battery-powered, and with a small form factor, the evaluation kit also includes firmware to simplify development targeted applications such as …
