“Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has released “XK1R9F10QB,” a 100V N-channel power MOSFET suitable for automotive 48V equipment applications such as load switches, switching power supplies and driving of motors. Shipments start today. The new product is the first …
“Method with polarized light can create and measure nonsymmetrical states in a layered material. Some molecules, including most of the ones in living organisms, have shapes that can exist in two different mirror-image versions. The right- and left-handed versions can …
“Physicists from Kiel University have developed an extremely fast simulation technique to predict the time evolution of interacting electrons How an electron behaves in an atom, or how it moves in a solid, can be predicted precisely with the equations …
“Johns Hopkins mechanical engineers design a snake robot based on the climbing technique of the kingsnake that could help advance search-and-rescue technology Snakes live in diverse environments ranging from unbearably hot deserts to lush tropical forests. But regardless of their …
“A Chinese research team has realized entanglement of two quantum memories via fibers over 50 km, making a breakthrough in the field of quantum communication. Quantum entanglement is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which the quantum states of two or …
“A research team led by scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has recently developed a new form of droplet-based electricity generator (DEG). It features a field-effect transistor (FET)-like structure that allows for high energy-conversion efficiency, and its …
“As climate changes and extreme weather events become more commonplace, we will need to fundamentally rethink how we produce renewable energy. Researchers at EPFL have developed a simulation method to reduce the adverse influences due to climate-related uncertainties in the …
