Magnetization Reversal achieved at room temperature using only an electric field

“Scientists at Tokyo Tech achieved magnetization reversal in cobalt-substituted bismuth ferrite by applying only an electric field. Such an effect had been sought after for over a decade in order to make new types of low-power-consumption magnetic memory devices. In …

Making Green Cars Greener

“CMU Researchers Examine Ways To Recycle Electric Vehicle Batteries. The widespread implementation of electric vehicles will go a long way toward eliminating the greenhouse gas emissions of the transportation sector. But these emissions don’t just come from the tailpipe …

Making the World a Lot Quieter

“Mechanical engineers have developed an “acoustic metamaterial” that can cancel 94 percent of sound What sounds would you mute if you could? A pair of Boston University mechanical engineers are asking that question, with the ever-increasing din of drone propellers …

New graphene-based device is first step toward ultrasensitive biosensors

“Researchers in the University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering have developed a unique new device using the wonder material graphene that provides the first step toward ultrasensitive biosensors to detect diseases at the molecular level with near perfect …

Novel technology aims to improve lithium metal battery life, safety

“Rechargeable lithium metal batteries with increased energy density, performance, and safety may be possible with a newly-developed, solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), according to Penn State researchers. As the demand for higher-energy-density lithium metal batteries increases — for electric vehicles, smartphones, and drones …

Quantum physicists succeed in controlling energy losses and shifts

“Achievement can be applied to speed up quantum computers and design new quantum technological devices Quantum computers need to preserve quantum information for a long time to be able to crack important problems faster than a normal computer. Energy losses …

Researchers reverse the flow of time on IBM’s quantum computer

“Quantum simulation gives a sneak peek into the possibilities of time reversal. We all mark days with clocks and calendars, but perhaps no timepiece is more immediate than a mirror. The changes we notice over the years vividly illustrate science …
