“MIT engineers Edward Adelson and Sandra Liu duo develop a robotic gripper with rich sensory capabilities. The notion of a large metallic robot that speaks in monotone and moves in lumbering, deliberate steps is somewhat hard to shake. But practitioners …
“A team of astronomers, including the UvA’s Nathalie Degenaar have observed a new type of stellar explosion — a micronova, with the help of the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT). These outbursts happen on the …
“Canonical Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is now generally available, featuring significant leaps forward in cloud confidential computing, real-time kernel for industrial applications, and enterprise Active Directory, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, FIPS and FedRAMP compliance – raising the bar for open source from …
“New solar cell devices that are cheaper and easier to make could soon make their way to market thanks to materials made at Imperial College London. Traditional solar cells are made from silicon, which has good efficiency and stability, but …
“Light causes small rapid distortions in solar cell material, affecting how charge carriers behave. A detailed view of how electrical charges behave inside perovskites could guide efforts to improve the performance of next-generation solar cells based on these materials, KAUST …
“Drawing lessons from the compound eyes of trilobites, NIST researchers fabricate tiny lenses that see both near and far. Five hundred million years ago, the oceans teemed with trillions of trilobites — creatures that were distant cousins of horseshoe crabs. All …
“Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich take an important step on the path towards topological quantum computers With their superior properties, topological qubits could help achieve a breakthrough in the development of a quantum computer designed for universal applications. So far, no …
News Kyocera develops transmissive metasurface technology that redirects wireless signals for improved 5G and 6G performance
“Kyocera Corporation (President: Hideo Tanimoto) has developed a Transmissive Metasurface technology that can redirect wireless network signals in a specific direction to improve the coverage area and performance of 5G and eventually 6G networks. The Transmissive Metasurface will help deliver …
“Rice study suggests stress among misaligned particles in typical cathodes limits flow If you could shrink enough for a fantastic voyage across a lithium battery electrode, you’d see the level of charge at every scale is highly uneven. This …
“Propelling micrometre-sized drones using light only and exerting precise control: Physicists at the University of Würzburg have succeeded at this for the first time. Their microdrones are significantly smaller than red blood cells. A hand-held laser pointer produces no noticeable …
