Nano technology breakthrough enables conversion of infrared light to energy

“Invisible infrared light accounts for half of all solar radiation on the Earth’s surface, yet ordinary solar energy systems have limited ability in converting it to power. A breakthrough in research at KTH could change that. A research team …

New monitoring technique lets your Remotely Operated Device do the snorkelling

“Researchers at the University of Newcastle and Macquarie University have found a novel way to remotely track fish in shallow water environments. Their findings have now been published in the Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology. They have been …

OpenTitan – Open sourcing transparent, trustworthy, and secure silicon

“Security begins with secure infrastructure. To have higher confidence in the security and integrity of the infrastructure, we need to anchor our trust at the foundation—in a special-purpose chip. Today, along with our partners, we are excited to announce …

Preserving open source software for future generations

“The world is powered by open source software. It is a hidden cornerstone of modern civilization, and the shared heritage of all humanity. The mission of the GitHub Archive Program is to preserve open source software for future generations. GitHub …

Pushing perovskite solar stability

“Solar perovskite materials could be spiked with organic cation dopants to suppress decomposition and degradation. Expanding the list of organic ingredients that comprise perovskite solar materials could boost their long-term stability and performance, KAUST researchers have predicted. Perovskites have recently …

Quantum Computer Made from Photons Achieves a New Record

“The limited system made a notable advancement on the road to beating classical machines. In the race to create a quantum computer that can outperform a classical one, a method using particles of light (photons) has taken a promising step …

Research team lays groundwork for nanoscale particle discoveries

“Materials made from nanoscale particles, ranging in size from a few atoms up to less than one-percent of the width of a human hair, create opportunities to design new functional materials having unique responses to external stimuli, such as light …

Researchers have developed self-healing soft electronics

“While flexible electronics can pose certain advantages, they are often subject to a rather short life, and can be difficult if not impossible to repair. As a solution to this conundrum, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of …

Spiders and ants inspire metal that won’t sink

“University of Rochester researchers, inspired by diving bell spiders and rafts of fire ants, have created a metallic structure that is so water repellent, it refuses to sink—no matter how often it is forced into water or how much …

Starlink Mission
