CMS sets new bounds on the mass of leptoquarks

“The bounds are some of the tightest yet on the existence of third-generation leptoquarks At the most fundamental level, matter is made up of two types of particles: leptons, such as the electron, and quarks, which combine to form protons …

Developing Smarter, Faster Machine Intelligence with Light

“Researchers invent an optical convolutional neural network accelerator for machine learning SUMMARY Researchers at the George Washington University, together with researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the deep-tech venture startup Optelligence LLC, have developed an optical convolutional …

Goldilocks and the three quantum dots: This one’s just right for peak solar panel performance

“Researchers at the ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science have developed a process for calculating the perfect size and density of quantum dots needed to achieve record efficiency in solar panels. Quantum dots, man-made nanocrystals 100,000 times thinner …

High-five or thumbs-up? New device detects which hand gesture you want to make

“Imagine typing on a computer without a keyboard, playing a video game without a controller or driving a car without a wheel. That’s one of the goals of a new device developed by engineers at the University of California …

ITMO Researchers Teach Robots to Run Chemical Experiments

“ITMO University experts are creating technological assistants for chemical laboratories that will be able to take over all routine work with no human involvement needed. Right now, the first prototypes are already performing the simplest manipulations. In the future, robotic …

Optoelectronic devices that emit warm and cool white light

“A single semiconducting material can produce white light by emitting light across the visible spectrum. The advantages of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), such as their tiny size, low cost and excellent power efficiency, mean they are found everywhere in modern life …

Quantum wave in helium dimer filmed for the first time

“For the first time, an international team of scientists from Goethe University and the University of Oklahoma has succeeded in filming quantum physical effects on a helium dimer as it breaks apart. The film shows the superposition of matter waves …

Researchers Have Achieved Sustained Long-Distance Quantum Teleportation

“The breakthrough, made by researchers at Caltech, Fermilab and NASA, among others, is a step towards a practical quantum internet. In a major breakthrough for the quest toward quantum internet, a technology that would revolutionize computing in myriad ways, a …

Researchers invent method to ‘sketch’ quantum devices with focused electrons

“Technique is 10,000 faster than previous methods, and can create active nanostructured gates directly below two-dimensional materials such as graphene It has long been a dream to invent new materials from the “top down” choosing which atoms go where …

Scientists Developed an Efficient Way to Produce Low-Cost Heatsinks

“NUST MISIS scientists found a way to reduce the cost of industrial and electronics heatsinks production up to 10 times. Consequently, the product itself would also cost less. The proposed methods presume the use of rubbers and silicon carbide as …
