Designing next generation analog chipsets for AI applications

“Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a design framework to build next-generation analog computing chipsets that could be faster and require less power than the digital chips found in most electronic devices. Using their novel design …

Exploiting Symmetries: Speeding Up the computational study of Solid Solutions

“Scientists develop software that can find all non-redundant substitution patterns in disordered systems, making computation in materials informatics faster Substituting atoms in otherwise symmetric crystals is a widely used approach to tune the properties of materials for practical applications. In …

Led by Columbia Engineering, Researchers Build Longest, Highly Conductive Molecular Nanowire

“A 2.6nm-long single molecule wire has quasi-metallic properties and shows an unusual increase of conductance as the wire length increases; its excellent conductivity holds great promise for the field of molecular electronics. As our devices get smaller and smaller …

LHCb discovers three new exotic particles

“The collaboration has observed a new kind of “pentaquark” and the first-ever pair of “tetraquarks” The international LHCb collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has observed three never-before-seen particles: a new kind of “pentaquark” and the first-ever pair of …

Micron DDR5 Server DRAM Available to Data Center Customers in Advance of Next-Generation Server Platforms

“Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today announced commercial and industrial channel partner availability of Micron DDR5 server DRAM in support of industry qualification of next-generation Intel® and AMD® DDR5 server and workstation platforms. The move to DDR5 memory enables up …

Microsoft datacenter batteries to support growth of renewables on the power grid

“Nearly 400 wind farms in Ireland today collectively generate more than 35% of the island’s electricity. These carbon-free electrons travel on power transmission lines to farms, businesses and homes, helping utilities avoid emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse …

Nano-Rust: Smart Additive for Autonomous Temperature Control

“FAU researchers develop a new, versatile method for temperature monitoring in materials. The right temperature matters – whether in technical processes, for the quality of food and medicines, or the lifetime of electronic components and batteries. For this purpose, temperature indicators …

NASA Helps Decipher How Some Distant Planets Have Clouds of Sand

“A new study using archival observations by the now-retired Spitzer Space Telescope found a common trait among distant worlds where the exotic clouds form. Most clouds on Earth are made of water, but beyond our planet they come in many …

NASA Updates Coverage for Webb Telescope’s First Images Reveal

“Team members with the Mid-Infrared Instrument, a camera aboard the observatory, will celebrate the images at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which manages MIRI for NASA. NASA, in partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency), will …

NASA’s tiny CAPSTONE probe aces 1st engine burn en route to the moon

“CAPSTONE has bounced back from its recent communication dropout. NASA’s little CAPSTONE moon probe has bounced back from its recent hiccup. The 55-pound (25 kilograms) CAPSTONE successfully performed its first engine burn today (July 7), an 11-minute maneuver that …
