“NUS physicists have developed a sensitive two-dimensional (2-D) magnetic field sensor, which can potentially improve the detection of nanoscale magnetic domains for data storage applications. Magnetoresistance (MR), the change in the electrical resistance of a material due to the influence …
“Machine learning algorithms can beat the world’s hardest video games in minutes and solve complex equations faster than the collective efforts of generations of physicists. But the conventional algorithms still struggle to pick out stop signs on a busy …
“A research team from Garching and Vienna discovered a remarkable echo effect – it offers exciting new possibilities for working with quantum information. Small particles can have an angular momentum that points in a certain direction – the spin. This spin can …
“Researchers have developed the world’s first photodetector that can see all shades of light, in a prototype device that radically shrinks one of the most fundamental elements of modern technology. Photodetectors work by converting information carried by light into …
News Toshiba’s Cascode GaN Discrete Power Device Realize Stable Operation and Simplifies System Design with Direct Gate Drive
“Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has developed a gallium nitride (GaN) cascode with a direct gate drive that realizes stable operation and simplification of system design. The device reduces risk of additional energy loss during switching due to false …
“Seven studies describe progress thus far and challenges ahead for a revolutionary zero-emissions power source. Two and a half years ago, MIT entered into a research agreement with startup company Commonwealth Fusion Systems to develop a next-generation fusion research experiment …
“Introduction I was recently watching the TV show Modern Marvels where they were doing this episode on “glass” and spent some time showing how fiber optic cables work. They showed that the concept of total internal reflection also applies to …
“Majorana fermions exhibit a strange property: these exotic particles cannot be distinguished from their own antiparticles. Nevertheless, technically they could be extremely useful as qubits for quantum computers. This is because every two Majorana fermions form an entangled pair that …
News All-optical method sets record for ultrafast high-spatial-resolution imaging: 15 trillion frames per second
“New all-optical imaging technique with an unprecedented frame rate allows scientists to visualize ultrafast transient phenomena High-speed cameras can take pictures in quick succession. This makes them useful for visualizing ultrafast dynamic phenomena, such as femtosecond laser ablation for precise …
“The rocky world, with its baking-hot surface, is likely not habitable. In a delightful alignment of astronomy and mathematics, scientists at MIT and elsewhere have discovered a “pi Earth” — an Earth-sized planet that zips around its star every 3.14 …
