Wi-Fi technology with fibre optic-like performance for Industry 4.0

“Despite significant advances in wireless technology, the manufacturing industry continues to turn to wired forms of communication such as Ethernet or fibre optics for its most critical tasks. A new study by the associate professor Cristina Cano and the full …

A colossal step for electronics

“Scientists at Osaka University develop a new method for controlling the hydrogen content and conductivity of thin-film perovskite rare-earth nickelate resistors using applied electric fields, which may lead to new ion sensors and computer circuits Researchers at Osaka University demonstrated …

A cool advance in thermoelectric conversion

“A quantum effect in topological semimetals demonstrated by MIT researchers could allow for the utilization of an untapped energy source. More than two-thirds of the energy used worldwide is ultimately ejected as “waste heat.” Within that reservoir of discarded energy …

A Necklace of Resonators: How Scientists Efficiently Control Light in Nanoscale

“ITMO University researchers and their collaborators presented a new principle of creating laser resonators. It will allow them to create light generating elements right on silicone chips. In this ITMO.NEWS article, you will learn how it can be used …
