Experiment results confirm anomaly suggesting new physics possibility

“Sterile neutrino, physics fundamentals among interpretations of anomalous results New scientific results confirm an anomaly seen in previous experiments, which may point to an as-yet-unconfirmed new elementary particle, the sterile neutrino, or indicate the need for a new interpretation of …

Glimpses of Quantum Computing Phase Changes Show Researchers the Tipping Point

“Tuning a quantum computer’s measurement rate provides hints of quantum phase transition. Researchers at Duke University and the University of Maryland have used the frequency of measurements on a quantum computer to get a glimpse into the quantum phenomena …

GlobalFoundries, STMicro Consider French Chip Factory Venture

“GlobalFoundries Inc. and STMicroelectronics Inc. are in talks to build a semiconductor factory in France together with the help of government funds, according to people familiar with the matter. The two companies want to take advantage of a new push …

Graphene dust not harmful, study finds

“Graphene-based particles released from polymer composites after abrasion induce negligible health effects. Under the leadership of Empa, an international research team of the Graphene Flagship project conducted a study on the health risks of graphene-containing nanoparticles and recently published the …

Industry’s Largest Family of Inductive Position Sensors Now Includes Solution for ISO 26262-Compliant EV Motor Control Applications

“Developers of motor control systems are rapidly replacing Hall Effect position sensors and older magnetic resolver solutions with inductive alternatives that eliminate expensive magnets and other heavy transformer-based structures so they can be integrated onto simple, compact printed circuit boards …

New approach topples major barrier to commercialisation of organic flow batteries

“Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Harvard University have developed a method to dramatically extend the lifetime of organic aqueous flow batteries, improving the commercial viability of a technology that has the potential to safely and cheaply store energy …

New maps of asteroid Psyche reveal an ancient world of metal and rock

“The varied surface suggests a dynamic history, which could include metallic eruptions, asteroid-shaking impacts, and a lost rocky mantle. Later this year, NASA is set to launch a probe the size of a tennis court to the asteroid belt, a …

New material paves the way for remote-controlled medication and electronic pills

“Biomedicines are produced by living cells and are used to treat cancer and autoimmune diseases among other things. One challenge is that the medicines are very expensive to produce, something that limits global access. Now researchers from Chalmers have invented …
