New Tech Delivers High-Tech Film That Blocks Electromagnetic Interference

“NYU Tandon Chemical Engineer Andre Taylor and Collaborators Use Cost-Effective Process to Make Strong, Flexible Films that Allow Light In but Keep Electromagnetic Interference Out Electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can harm smartphones, tablets, chips, drones, wearables, and even aircraftand human …

One step closer to complex quantum teleportation

“Novel complex quantum entanglement generated in the laboratory for the first time For future technologies such as quantum computers and quantum encryption, the experimental mastery of complex quantum systems is inevitable. Scientists from the University of Vienna and the Austrian …

Physicists name and codify new field in nanotechnology: ‘electron quantum metamaterials’

“When two atomically thin two-dimensional layers are stacked on top of each other and one layer is made to rotate against the second layer, they begin to produce patterns — the familiar moiré patterns — that neither layer can generate on its …

Quantum Technologies Flagship: Basel physicists participate in three research consortia

“Today, the European Commission launched its flagship initiative on quantum technologies. Three research groups from the Department of Physics at the University of Basel are involved. The aim of the 1 billion euro research and technology funding program is to …

STMicroelectronics Makes Leading Ultra-Low-Power MCU Family Even More Accessible with New STM32L0 Value Line

“New STM32L0x0 Value Line microcontrollers (MCUs) from STMicroelectronics present an additional, low-cost entry point to the STM32L0 * series, delivering ultra-low-power technology and efficient 32-bit performance with the Arm® Cortex® -M0+ core for designers facing tight cost, size, or power constraints …

Using diamonds to recharge civilian drones in flight

“A small lab-grown diamond measuring a few millimeters per side could one day enable civilian drones to be recharged in mid-flight through a laser. Thanks to the diamond, the laser beam can remain strong enough over a long distance to …
