“Single processor solutions will inevitably have to trade-off the processor’s computational power against its efficiency. When that trade-off becomes too great, developers look towards dual-core solutions. Tomorrow’s commercial products will demand connectivity solutions to support advanced, highly-complex applications …
“CERN has approved the construction and operation of SND@LHC, a neutrino detector at the Large Hadron Collider. It’s a precursor for SHiP, a detector meant to detect dark matter. Leiden physicist Alexey Boyarsky is one of the initiators …
“A new approach to identifying useful formulations could help solve the degradation issue for these promising new lightweight photovoltaics. Materials called perovskites are widely heralded as a likely replacement for silicon as the material of choice for solar cells, but …
“A team of scientists from ITMO University has created a model for an algorithm that can analyze the meaning of texts. It differs from regular neural networks because it not only takes into account word usage frequency but also introduces …
“Nature’s strongest material now has some stiff competition. For the first time, researchers have hard evidence that human-made hexagonal diamonds are stiffer than the common cubic diamonds found in nature and often used in jewelry. Named for their six-sided …
“A new invention that uses sunlight to drive water purification could help solve the problem of providing clean water off the grid. The device resembles a large sponge that soaks up water but leaves contaminants – like lead, oil and pathogens …
“Within the realm of quantum mechanics, the generation of quantum entanglement remains one of the most challenging goals. Entanglement, simply put, is when the quantum state of each particle or a group of particles is not independent of the quantum …
“The rover also snapped a pair of panoramas to create a 3D view of the stark cliff face featured in the selfie. At the start of March, NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover began approaching an impressive rock formation that scientists …
“A team of researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a new early warning system for vehicles that uses artificial intelligence to learn from thousands of real traffic situations. A study of the system was carried out …
“Power converters play an essential role in electric vehicles and solar panels, for example, but tend to lose a lot of power in the form of heat in the electricity conversion process. Thanks to a new type of transistor developed …
