News Scientists demonstrate terahertz wave camera can capture 3D images of microscopic world in major breakthrough
“Loughborough University scientists are the first to demonstrate that a terahertz wave camera can capture 3D images of microscopic items hidden inside small objects. Lead researcher Dr Luana Olivieri says though the research is in the early stages, the team …
“Never-before-seen scenario suggests a new way to destroy a star. While searching for the origins of a powerful gamma-ray burst (GRB), an international team of astrophysicists may have stumbled upon a new way to destroy a star. Although most GRBs …
News STMicroelectronics adds lossless image compression and information sharing in TouchGFX UI design software for STM32 microcontrollers
“STMicroelectronics has released TouchGFX 4.22 user-interface software with improvements that include advanced memory-saving image compression and built-in information sharing. TouchGFX 4.22 automatically selects the optimum compression for images and graphics, greatly reducing the system memory requirement without compromising …
News STMicroelectronics reveals integrated hot-swap and ideal-diode controller for automotive safety-critical applications up to ASIL-D
“The STMicroelectronics STPM801 is the market’s first automotive-qualified integrated hot-swap and ideal-diode controller featured for functional-safety applications. The ideal-diode controller drives an external MOSFET replacing a Schottky diode conventionally used for reverse-input protection and output-voltage holdup. The reduced voltage …
“New cooling technology developed for quantum computing circuits Typical superconducting quantum circuits, such as qubits – basic processing units of a quantum computer, must be operated at very low temperatures, of a few 10’s of milli-kelvin, or hundredth’s of …
“MIT engineers’ new technology can probe the neural circuits that influence hunger, mood, and a variety of diseases. The brain and the digestive tract are in constant communication, relaying signals that help to control feeding and other behaviors. This extensive …
“Researchers observed TRAPPIST-1 c on four occasions using the telescope’s Mid-Infrared Instrument. An international team of researchers has used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to calculate the amount of heat energy coming from the rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST …
“With a dramatic boost in computing capability, a team of researchers has solved a decades-long mystery about whether optical waves can be trapped in three-dimensional randomly packed micro- or nanoparticles. It’s a discovery that could open new possibilities for …
“Researchers gain insight into how the universe is expanding thanks to gravitational lensing, a natural phenomenon that warps space around galaxies and visually magnifies celestial objects. According to Einstein’s general theory of relativity, time and space are fused …
News CityU researchers invent a low-temperature synthesis method for high-quality tellurium nanomesh for next-generation electronics
“A collaborative team led by researchers from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently invented an innovative method for synthesizing high-quality, semiconducting nanomesh at a lower temperature and production cost than conventional methods. The findings will help enable the large-scale …
