Discovery of Topological LC Circuits Transporting EM Waves without Backscattering

“NIMS succeeded in fabricating topological LC circuits arranged in a honeycomb pattern where electromagnetic (EM) waves can propagate without backscattering even when pathways turn sharply. Engineers have succeeded in fabricating topological LC circuits arranged in a honeycomb pattern where electromagnetic …

Fingernail Sensors and AI Can Help Clinicians to Monitor Health and Disease Progression

“Grip strength is a useful metric in a surprisingly broad set of health issues. It has been associated with the effectiveness of medication in individuals with Parkinson’s disease, the degree of cognitive function in schizophrenics, the state of an …

Get High with The Newly Released Linux Kernel 4.20

“Christmas comes early. Linus Torvalds plays Santa and releases Kernel 4.20 just before Christmas. Torvalds sees no point in delaying the 4.20 release because everybody is already taking a break I encouraged people to get it over and …

Mersenne Prime Number discovery - 2^82589933-1 is Prime!

“The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) has discovered the largest known prime number, 282,589,933-1, having 24,862,048 digits. A computer volunteered by Patrick Laroche made the find on December 7, 2018. Patrick is one of thousands …

Music technology accelerates at MIT

“An increasingly popular program is drawing students eager to build — and use — the next generation of tools for making music. The room fills with electronic beeps and chirps, rising and falling notes generated by computer. Students are poring over their …

Quantum Maxwell’s demon ‘teleports’ entropy out of a qubit

“Researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, ETH Zurich, and Argonne National Laboratory, U.S, have described an extended quantum Maxwell’s demon, a device locally violating the second law of thermodynamics in a system located 1-5 meters …

Quantum Tricks to Unveil the Secrets of Topological Materials

“”Topological materials” are very interesting for technology, but difficult to study. TU Wien (Vienna) and the University of Science and Technology in China are presenting new approaches. Electrons are not just little spheres, bouncing through a material like a rubber …

Researchers Monitor Electron Behaviour During Chemical Reactions for the First Time

“Using laser pulses and supercomputing simulations, researchers observe electrons’ motions in real time. In a recent publication in Science, researchers at the University of Paderborn and the Fritz Haber Institute Berlin demonstrated their ability to observe electrons’ movements during a …

Samsung Introduces Remote Access, Enabling User Control Over Peripheral Connected Devices Through its Smart TVs

“Remote Access feature on Samsung’s 2019 Smart TVs to provide users wireless, on-screen control over connected peripheral devices, enabling convenient web browsing, cloud office access and more Samsung Electronics today announced Remote Access, a new feature that will be …

3D printing eliminates undesirable trait in conventional superalloys

“An undesirable trait found in traditionally processed superalloys does not exist in a 3D-printed, nickel-based superalloy, according to a team of materials scientists who think this could lead to new manufacturing techniques that allow for alloys with tailored properties. The …
