Developing the first ICs to orbit Earth

“For Charles “Bob” Cook, a project assigned by Jack Kilby led to the development of the first integrated circuits to ever orbit the Earth – and a foundation for future space electronics Jack Kilby was a little more than two years …

Future information technologies: Topological materials for ultrafast spintronics

“A team led by HZB physicist Dr. Jaime Sánchez-Barriga has gained new insights into the ultrafast response of topological states of matter to femtosecond laser excitation. Using time- and spin-resolved methods at BESSY II, the physicists explored how, after optical …

Gaming graphics card allows faster, more precise control of fusion energy experiments

“Nuclear fusion offers the potential for a safe, clean and abundant energy source. This process, which also occurs in the sun, involves plasmas, fluids composed of charged particles, being heated to extremely high temperatures so that the atoms fuse together …

Google demonstrates vital step towards large-scale quantum computers

“Google has shown that its Sycamore quantum computer can detect and fix computational errors, an essential step for large-scale quantum computing, but its current system generates more errors than it solves. Error-correction is a standard feature for ordinary, or classical …

GPUs Can Now Analyze a Billion Complex Vectors in Record Time

“The advancement boosts the speed of GPU image analysis eight-fold The complexity of a digital photo cannot be understated. Each pixel comprises many data points, and there can be millions of pixels in just a single photo. These many data …

Harnessing the dark side

“Optical singularities could be used for a wide range of applications from super resolution imaging to optical trapping When we think about singularities, we tend to think of massive black holes in faraway galaxies or a distant future with runaway …

Heisenberg under the microscope

“The quantum movements of a small glass sphere could be controlled for the first time in Vienna by combining microscopy with control engineering, setting the course for future quantum technologies. A football is not a quantum particle. There are crucial …

ITMO Researchers Create Perovskite Chess Set That Glows in the Dark

“For today’s International Chess Day, a research team from ITMO’s School of Physics and Engineering presents a unique device – a chess set with light-emitting pieces that contain perovskite. The energy is delivered wirelessly into each piece using a …

“Magic-angle” trilayer graphene may be a rare, magnet-proof superconductor

“New findings might help inform the design of more powerful MRI machines or robust quantum computers. MIT physicists have observed signs of a rare type of superconductivity in a material called magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene. In a study appearing today …

Maxim Integrated’s Hand-Held Camera Cube Reference Design Enables Artificial Intelligence at the Edge for Vision and Hearing Applications

“Today Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) unveiled the MAXREFDES178# camera cube reference design, which demonstrates how Artificial intelligence (AI) applications previously limited to machines with large power and cost budgets can be embedded in space-constrained, battery-powered edge devices. The …
