“Researchers have developed the world’s first photodetector that can see all shades of light, in a prototype device that radically shrinks one of the most fundamental elements of modern technology. Photodetectors work by converting information carried by light into …
News Toshiba’s Cascode GaN Discrete Power Device Realize Stable Operation and Simplifies System Design with Direct Gate Drive
“Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has developed a gallium nitride (GaN) cascode with a direct gate drive that realizes stable operation and simplification of system design. The device reduces risk of additional energy loss during switching due to false …
“Seven studies describe progress thus far and challenges ahead for a revolutionary zero-emissions power source. Two and a half years ago, MIT entered into a research agreement with startup company Commonwealth Fusion Systems to develop a next-generation fusion research experiment …
“Majorana fermions exhibit a strange property: these exotic particles cannot be distinguished from their own antiparticles. Nevertheless, technically they could be extremely useful as qubits for quantum computers. This is because every two Majorana fermions form an entangled pair that …
News All-optical method sets record for ultrafast high-spatial-resolution imaging: 15 trillion frames per second
“New all-optical imaging technique with an unprecedented frame rate allows scientists to visualize ultrafast transient phenomena High-speed cameras can take pictures in quick succession. This makes them useful for visualizing ultrafast dynamic phenomena, such as femtosecond laser ablation for precise …
“The rocky world, with its baking-hot surface, is likely not habitable. In a delightful alignment of astronomy and mathematics, scientists at MIT and elsewhere have discovered a “pi Earth” — an Earth-sized planet that zips around its star every 3.14 …
“PSI scientists have gained a fundamental understanding of a highly promising material that could be suited to future data storage applications. Their experiments with strontium-iridium oxide, Sr2IrO4, investigated both the magnetic and electronic properties of the material as a thin …
“Frozen water can take on up to three forms at the same time when it melts: liquid, ice and gas. This principle, which states that many substances can occur in up to three phases simultaneously, was explained 150 years ago …
“The Zuse Z4 is considered the oldest preserved computer in the world. Manufactured in 1945 and overhauled and expanded in 1949/1950, the relay machine was in operation on loan at the ETH Zurich from 1950 to 1955. Today the …
“Scientists at the Institute of Applied Physics at TU Dresden have come a step closer to the vision of a broad application of flexible, printable electronics. The team around Dr Hans Kleemann has succeeded for the first time in developing …
