Debian 11 bullseye released

“After 2 years, 1 month, and 9 days of development, the Debian project is proud to present its new stable version 11 (code name bullseye), which will be supported for the next 5 years thanks to the combined work of …

Designing better batteries for electric vehicles

“As researchers consider materials for solid-state batteries, they also may want to consider how those materials could impact large-scale manufacturing. The urgent need to cut carbon emissions is prompting a rapid move toward electrified mobility and expanded deployment of solar …

DTU researchers tighten grip on quantum computer

“In a new groundbreaking work, researchers from DTU have now realized the complete platform for an optical quantum computer. The platform is universal and scalable, it all takes place at room temperature, and the technology is directly compatible with standard …

Earth’s core may contain up to 95% of planet’s carbon

“Rice, Florida State study improves understanding of habitable rocky planets New research from Rice University and Florida State University suggests Earth’s core contains up to 95% of the planet’s carbon. The study, published online this week in the …

Electron–electron and spin–orbit interactions compete to control the electron

“The interactions that compete to control electron spin can give rise to novel electronic states useful for future quantum technologies In a finding that will help to identify exotic quantum states, RIKEN physicists have seen strongly competing factors that affect …

Fusion Progress Validates A 40-Year Quest

“A 10-quadrillion-watt burst at Lawrence Livermore is good news for LLE as well When researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory this week announced they had ignited a burst of more than 10 quadrillion watts of fusion power, it was cause …

Groundbreaking visualization of atomic movements

“Novel method for imaging vibrations and movements of atoms in catalysts is developed by a collaboration of internationally leading researchers. A group of leading electron microscopy and catalysis researchers have in recent years been working to determine the three-dimensional arrangements …

High-speed camera captures a water jet’s splashy impact as it pierces a droplet

“The results may help engineers develop a way to inject drugs without needles. Squirting a jet of water through a drop of liquid may sound like idle fun, but if done precisely, and understood thoroughly, the splashy exercise could help …

Home-Grown Semiconductors For Faster, Smaller Electronics

“‘Growing’ electronic components directly onto a semiconductor block avoids messy, noisy oxidation scattering that slows and impedes electronic operation. A UNSW study out this month shows that the resulting high-mobility components are ideal candidates for high-frequency, ultra-small electronic devices, quantum …

Inflatable robotic hand gives amputees real-time tactile control

“Prosthetic enables a wide range of daily activities, such as zipping a suitcase, shaking hands, and petting a cat. For the more than 5 million people in the world who have undergone an upper-limb amputation, prosthetics have come a long …
