Rugged Micropower Magnetic Sensor ICs Maximize Battery Life, Improve System Efficiency

“Allegro MicroSystems has announced the release of a family of Micropower Hall-effect switch ICs—the APS11700 and APS11760—designed specifically for battery powered applications in harsh industrial and automotive environments. Automatic power management enables average supply current as low as …

Scientists from CEITEC BUT introduced a way to control graphene properties

“In their recent publication the researchers from the group Molecular Nanostructures at Surfaces introduced a way to remotely control the properties of graphene by a low energy electron beam. The researchers of a recently established group at CEITEC BUT studied …

Scientists uncover new properties of black holes

“New gravitational waves detections shed light on entire population of black holes. New detections and analysis of gravitational waves – announced Saturday, Dec. 1, at the Gravitational Wave Physics and Astronomy Workshop in College Park, Maryland – broaden scientists’ understanding of the …

Sculpting light for new technologies

“On a dime-sized structure, researchers at INRS and the University of Sussex have created an optical device that uses artificial intelligence to control the properties of light. Many technologies, including biomedical imaging systems, rely on lasers to produce light that …

Solution for next generation nanochips comes out of thin air

“The secret ingredient for the next generation of more powerful electronics could be air, according to new research. Researchers at RMIT University have engineered a new type of transistor, the building block for all electronics. Instead of sending electrical currents …

“Sudoku” x-ray uncovers movements within opaque materials

“New method based on popular puzzle allows scientists to see flowing grains. University of Sydney researchers have developed a new x-ray method which involves solving a giant, three dimensional sudoku problem to better understand these granular movements - and the findings …

Switching identities: Revolutionary insulator-like material also conducts electricity

“University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers have made a material that can transition from an electricity-transmitting metal to a nonconducting insulating material without changing its atomic structure. “This is quite an exciting discovery,” says Chang-Beom Eom, professor of materials science and …

Terahertz laser pulses amplify optical phonons in solids

“A study led by scientists of the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) at CFEL presents evidence of the amplification of optical phonons in a solid by intense terahertz laser pulses. These light bursts excite …

The ‘Camera That Saved Hubble’ Turns 25

“Twenty-five years ago this week, NASA held its collective breath as seven astronauts on space shuttle Endeavour caught up with the Hubble Space Telescope 353 miles (568 kilometers) above Earth. Their mission: to fix a devastating flaw in the telescope …
