“In the darkest and coldest parts of its polar regions, a team of scientists has directly observed definitive evidence of water ice on the Moon’s surface. These ice deposits are patchily distributed and could possibly be ancient. At the …
News It’s a ‘flying motorbike’! Impressive homemade drone takes off with its Chinese inventor on board
“A homemade ‘flying motorcycle’ has taken to the skies, with its inventor on board. Zhao Deli, 40, was lifted into the air by eight propellers in Tangxia town, Dongguan city, south China’s Guangdong province. Mr Zhao designed and built …
“There are currently great hopes for solid-state batteries. They contain no liquid parts that could leak or catch fire. For this reason, they do not require cooling and are considered to be much safer, more reliable, and longer lasting than …
“A research team has demonstrated how light-emitting nanoparticles, developed at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), can be used to see deep in living tissue. The specially designed nanoparticles can be excited by …
“Light may be the missing ingredient in making usable quantum silicon computer chips, according to an international study featuring a University of Queensland researcher. The team has engineered a silicon chip that can guide single particles of light – photons – along …
“Novel combination of two encryption techniques protects private data, while keeping neural networks running quickly. A novel encryption method devised by MIT researchers secures data used in online neural networks, without dramatically slowing their runtimes. This approach holds promise for …
“A team of researchers led by the University of Minnesota has developed a new material that could potentially improve the efficiency of computer processing and memory. The researchers have filed a patent on the material with support from the Semiconductor …
News Once a Performance Barrier, This Material Quirk Could Strengthen Our Telecommunication Connections
“Researchers who study and manipulate the behavior of materials at the atomic level have discovered a way to make a thin material that enhances the flow of microwave energy. The advance, which could improve telecommunications, sheds new light on structural …
“To tame chaos in powerful semiconductor lasers, which causes instabilities, scientists have introduced another kind of chaos. High-powered semiconductor lasers are used in materials processing, biomedical imaging and industrial research, but the emitted light they produce is affected by instabilities …
“New quantum theory research, led by academics at the University of St Andrews’ School of Physics, could transform the way scientists predict how quantum particles behave. Quantum theory is a cornerstone of modern physics, explaining the behaviour of isolated particles …
