Impossible materials are created under extreme pressure

“Researchers at Linköping University, among other places, have created a new material that ought to be impossible. Its synthesis is, however, possible thanks to a new method that creates pressure approximately three times higher than in the Earth’s core …

It takes three to tangle: long-range quantum entanglement needs three-way interaction

“A theoretical study shows that long-range entanglement can indeed survive at temperatures above absolute zero, if the correct conditions are met. Quantum computing has been earmarked as the next revolutionary step in computing. However current systems are only practically stable …

ITMO Researchers Explore Direct Laser Writing of Nanolattices

“Researchers from ITMO’s Faculty of Nanoelectronics together with their colleagues from the Lebedev Physical Institute, D. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia, and the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI have conducted a study that showed that nanolattices possess …

Laser bursts drive fastest-ever logic gates

“Researchers at Rochester and Erlangen have taken a decisive step toward creating ultrafast computers. A long-standing quest for science and technology has been to develop electronics and information processing that operate near the fastest timescales allowed by the laws of …

MakerBot and Ultimaker agree to merge to accelerate global adoption of additive manufacturing

“The new entity has secured additional funding of $62.4M to fuel global 3D printing innovation. MakerBot and Ultimaker, two leaders in desktop 3D printing, today announced that they have come to a business combination agreement that will accelerate the …

Mechanism ‘splits’ electron spins in magnetic material

“Holding the right material at the right angle, Cornell researchers have discovered a strategy to switch the magnetization in thin layers of a ferromagnet – a technique that could eventually lead to the development of more energy-efficient magnetic memory devices. The …

MIT engineers build load-bearing structures using tree forks instead of steel joints

“Discarded tree forks could replace load-bearing joints in architecture projects using a construction technique developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The system combines generative design and robotic fabrication to allow tree forks – the pieces of wood where …

‘Nanomagnetic’ computing can provide low-energy AI, researchers show

“Researchers have shown it is possible to perform artificial intelligence using tiny nanomagnets that interact like neurons in the brain. The new method, developed by a team led by Imperial College London researchers, could slash the energy cost of artificial …

NIST Finds Wireless Performance Consistent Across 5G Millimeter-Wave Bands

“Settling a key dispute in the wireless communications field, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) found that transmission performance is consistent across different bands of the millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum targeted for high-speed, data-rich 5G systems. Wireless …
