SpaceX launches 22 Starlink satellites on its 70th mission of the year

“SpaceX launched 22 more of its Starlink internet satellites to orbit early this morning (Oct. 5), on the company’s 70th orbital mission of the year. The Starlink spacecraft lifted off atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space …

STMicroelectronics’ automotive power-management ICs integrate CAN FD and LIN for simpler car-body controllers

“STMicroelectronics’ SPSB081 automotive power-management IC is a Swiss Army Knife of features including a main fixed-voltage low-dropout regulator (LDO), a secondary programmable LDO, four high-side drivers, a CAN FD transceiver 1, and an optional LIN transceiver2 . The ICs provide multiple …

The making of a quantum movie

“Electrons hold the world together. When chemical reactions yield new substances, they play a leading role. And in electronics, too, they are the protagonists. Together with his colleagues, Ferenc Krausz, Director of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in …

Twisted Science: NIST Researchers Find a New Quantum Ruler to Explore Exotic Matter

“A single-atom-thick sheet of carbon known as graphene has remarkable properties on its own, but things can get even more interesting when you stack up multiple sheets. When two or more overlying sheets of graphene are slightly misaligned — twisted at …

Ultrathin films achieve record hydrogen-nitrogen separation

“Scientists at EPFL have synthesized the first ever metal-organic frameworks membrane with thickness of just one unit cell. The ultrathin film yields record-high separation performance of hydrogen. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of materials that contain nano-sized pores. These …

Accelerating Sustainable Semiconductors With ‘Multielement Ink’

“Semiconductors are the heart of almost every electronic device. Without semiconductors, our computers would not be able to process and retain data; and LED (light-emitting diode) lightbulbs would lose their ability to shine. But semiconductor manufacturing requires a lot of …

ALPHA experiment at CERN observes the influence of gravity on antimatter

“The result is a milestone in the study of the properties and behaviour of antimatter. Isaac Newton’s historic work on gravity was apparently inspired by watching an apple fall to the ground from a tree. But what about an …

AMD Unveils Purpose-Built, FPGA-Based Accelerator for Ultra-Low Latency Electronic Trading

” AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced the AMD Alveo™ UL3524 accelerator card, a new fintech accelerator designed for ultra-low latency electronic trading applications. Already deployed by leading trading firms and enabling multiple solution partner offerings, the Alveo UL3524 provides proprietary traders …

Argonne to Recycle Magnets From Advanced Photon Source in New Physics Experiment at Brookhaven

“Argonne is recycling 700 magnets as its Advanced Photon Source undergoes an upgrade, and the old magnets will be used for the Electron-Ion Collider Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U …

Chi-Nu experiment concludes with data to support nuclear security, energy reactors

“Experiment measures the energy spectrum of neutrons emitted from neutron-induced fission. The results of the Chi-Nu physics experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory have contributed essential, never-before-observed data for enhancing nuclear security applications, understanding criticality safety and designing fast-neutron energy …
