Switch-in-a-cell electrifies life

“Rice University scientists create electrical protein switches triggered by chemicals Scientists at Rice University have developed synthetic protein switches to control the flow of electrons. The proof-of-concept, metal-containing proteins made in the Rice lab of synthetic biologist Joff Silberg are …

Sydney scientists develop work-around for quantum architecture

“Technique uses indirect exchange to couple spin qubits Working with Professor David Reilly, Dr Xanthe Croot and Sebastian Pauka have invented a qubit architecture designed to improve scalability for semiconductor-based quantum computers. Australian scientists have developed an architecture for quantum …

Team invents method to shrink objects to the nanoscale

“It’s not quite the Ant-Man suit, but the system produces 3-D structures one thousandth the size of the originals. MIT researchers have invented a way to fabricate nanoscale 3-D objects of nearly any shape. They can also pattern the …

Technique Allows Integration of Single-Crystal Hybrid Perovskites Into Electronics

“An international team of researchers has developed a technique that, for the first time, allows single-crystal hybrid perovskite materials to be integrated into electronics. Because these perovskites can be synthesized at low temperatures, the advance opens the door to new …

The stiffest porous lightweight materials ever

“Researchers at ETH have developed and manufactured a family of architectures that maximises the stiffness of porous lightweight materials. It’s practically impossible to develop stiffer designs. 3D printing and other additive production techniques make it possible to manufacture materials …

Toward brain-like computing: New memristor better mimics synapses

“A new electronic device developed at the University of Michigan can directly model the behaviors of a synapse, which is a connection between two neurons. For the first time, the way that neurons share or compete for resources can be …

TSMC cleared to build new factory in southern Taiwan

“New factory in Tainan will make use of renewable energy and recycled water. The world’s largest contract semiconductor manufacturing company, TSMC (台積電), has been cleared to commence construction of a new 3nm chip factory at the Southern …

VW Solves Quantum Chemistry Problems on a D-Wave Machine

“Scientists say their work offers a proof of principle for using D-Wave’s quantum computers to tackle even tougher chemistry problems. Since at least 1982, when physicist Richard Feynman first proposed the idea of quantum computers, scientists have dreamed of …

Wave Computing Launches the MIPS Open Initiative To Accelerate Innovation for the Renowned MIPS Architecture

“New Initiative Will Expand Adoption of MIPS by the Global Semiconductor Industry By Providing a Proven, Industry-Standard and Patent Protected RISC Architecture for Free. Wave Computing®, the Silicon Valley company that is accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) from the edge to …

Weather monitoring from the ground up

“ClimaCell uses wireless signals to track and forecast the weather in every 500-meter patch of the Earth’s surface. Many startups tailor their first product or service to a specific market segment in order to validate their ideas and get …
