“Through innovative use of a neural network that mimics image processing by the human brain, a research team reports accurate reconstruction of images transmitted over optical fibers for distances of up to a kilometer. In The Optical Society’s journal …
“Researchers at Cornell are devising a method for creating new polymers in much the same way that a jewelry maker creates a beaded necklace – with the beads strung in a precise, controlled way. The lab of Brett Fors, assistant professor …
“A new type of pressure sensor based on light could allow the creation of sensitive artificial skins to give robots a better sense of touch, wearable blood-pressure monitors for humans and optically transparent touch screens and devices. In the Optical …
“Employees of the Faculty of Chemistry and the Faculty of Materials Science of the MVLomonosov Moscow State University patented an electrochemical cell that allows studying chemical processes in battery materials, using highly sensitive methods of surface analysis. The development will …
“Researchers have shown how to shuttle lithium ions back and forth into the crystal structure of a quantum material, representing a new avenue for research and potential applications in batteries, “smart windows” and brain-inspired computers containing artificial synapses. The research …
“The longevity of electronic devices is tested in many ways as they endure the rigors of daily usage. Even when they are treated with the utmost care, they still have a major challenge to overcome — the removal of heat. To …
“A team led by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) found a way to make a liquid-like state behave more like a solid, and then to reverse the process. They put …
“NASA’s Opportunity rover has been silent since June 10, when a planet-encircling dust storm cut off solar power for the nearly-15-year-old rover. Now that scientists think the global dust storm is “decaying” — meaning more dust is falling out of …
News Skoltech and MIT develop simple hydrogel modification method, paving the way to highly stretchable and transparent electronics
“Scientists from the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have proposed a novel method for the fabrication of highly transparent, electrically conductive, stretchable tough hydrogels modified by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The …
“At Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), physicist Professor Thomas Schimmel and his team have developed a single-atom transistor, the smallest transistor in existence. This quantum electronics component switches electrical current by controlled repositioning of a single atom, now also in …
