“A device that eavesdrops on the quantum whispers of atoms could form the basis of a new type of quantum computer. Stanford physicists have developed a “quantum microphone” so sensitive that it can measure individual particles of sound, called phonons …
“An important breakthrough in transistor technology has been achieved at TU Wien: With the help of novel insulators, high-quality transistors can be produced using two-dimensional materials. For decades, the transistors on our microchips have become smaller, faster and cheaper. Approximately …
“A new class of 2D perovskite materials with edges that are conductive like metals and cores that are insulating was found by researchers who said these unique properties have applications in solar cells and nanoelectronics. “This observation of the metal-like …
“What’s thinner than a human hair but has a depth of special traits? A multitasking graphene device developed by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). The superthin material easily switches …
“Everyday transitions from one state of matter to another — such as freezing, melting or evaporation — start with a process called “nucleation,” in which tiny clusters of atoms or molecules (called “nuclei”) begin to coalesce. Nucleation plays a critical role in …
“When designing actuators involves too many variables for humans to test by hand, this system can step in. An automated system developed by MIT researchers designs and 3-D prints complex robotic parts called actuators that are optimized according to an …
“A DGIST research team developed a new technology that can process and analyze data differently from the existing technology. Its application is highly looked forward to as it can overcome the limitations of the existing technologies and can process much …
