UArizona Engineers Demonstrate a Quantum Advantage

“In a new paper, researchers in the College of Engineering and James C. Wyant College of Optical Sciences experimentally demonstrate how quantum resources aren’t just dreams for the distant future – they can improve the technology of today. Quantum computing …

Ultrasonic Welding Makes Parts for NASA Missions, Commercial Industry

“A manufacturing innovation that has applications for NASA spacecraft is being transferred to the private sector to support a variety of industries here on Earth. A burst water main is always expensive and messy, but a pipe that fails in …

Why deep freezing iron-based materials makes them both magnetic and superconducting

“Physicists at Bath have uncovered a new mechanism for enabling magnetism and superconductivity to co-exist in the same material. Physicists at the University of Bath, in collaboration with researchers from the USA, have uncovered a new mechanism for enabling magnetism …

World’s Best Processor for Thin-and-Light Windows Laptops Just Got Better

“Today at Computex 2021, Intel announced two new additions to the lineup of 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. These new processors, combined with Intel’s co-engineering work with independent software vendors (ISVs) and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), continue Intel’s …

3D printing stem cells to transform neuroscience

“The MESO-BRAIN project used human-induced pluripotent stem cells placed on nanoscale 3D-laser-printed structures to replicate the brain’s neural networks 3D printing, also called additive manufacturing, has become widespread in recent years. By building successive layers of raw material …

A Simpler, but Dexterous Robot Hand

“Humans use all surfaces of the hand for contact-rich manipulation. Robot hands, in contrast, typically use only the fingertips, which can limit dexterity. In a new study from the lab of Aaron Dollar, professor of mechanical engineering & materials science & computer …

Announcing the Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT

“Today we’re announcing the next generation of our Power over Ethernet (PoE) HAT. Compared to its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT delivers more power, implementing the 802.3at PoE+ standard; and it runs cooler, thanks to various design …

Artificial Neurons Recognize Biosignals in Real Time

“Researchers from Zurich have developed a compact, energy-efficient device made from artificial neurons that is capable of decoding brainwaves. The chip uses data recorded from the brainwaves of epilepsy patients to identify which regions of the brain cause epileptic seizures …

Cornell researchers see atoms at record resolution

“In 2018, Cornell researchers built a high-powered detector that, in combination with an algorithm-driven process called ptychography, set a world record by tripling the resolution of a state-of-the-art electron microscope. As successful as it was, that approach had a weakness …

Engineered defects in crystalline material boosts electrical performance

“Materials engineers don’t like to see line defects in functional materials. The structural flaws along a one-dimensional line of atoms generally degrades performance of electrical materials. So, as a research paper published today by the journal Science reports, these …
