Scientists have created a soft wireless implant that uses tiny flashes of light to send information straight into the brain, allowing animals to learn brand-new artificial signals. By lighting up specific patterns across the cortex,…
A new chip-scale device offers unprecedented control over laser frequencies, a key ingredient for large-scale quantum computing. Researchers have achieved an important step forward in quantum computing by developing a device so small that it…
The illustration shows a human protein and amino acid code in the background. The new FRET X technology is capable of identifying proteins using protein fingerprints. The Chirlmin Joo Lab obtains these unique fingerprints by…
Scientists found that nanopores’ electrical charges control how ions flow and when pores temporarily shut down. The discovery could allow engineers to design nanopores that “learn” like synapses for next-generation computing. Pore-forming proteins appear across…
2025’s been a weird year when it comes to Android upgrades. For ages now, Google’s given us each major annual Android upgrade in the latter half of the year — anywhere from late summer to…
A radically miniaturized brain implant called BISC is redefining what’s possible in human–computer interaction, offering a paper-thin, wireless, high-bandwidth link directly to the brain. With over 65,000 electrodes and unprecedented data throughput, it enables advanced…
New research examines advanced thermal management technologies essential for the reliability and performance of spacecraft electronics, discussing materials, structures, and systems that mitigate heat challenges in space missions. Schematic of the thermal environment for electronics…
A new article examines the history of computing to help outline the direction of quantum research. It reports that quantum technology is advancing quickly, and that the major obstacles now involve expanding the systems to…
Researchers at Osaka University have developed a groundbreaking flexible optical sensor that works even when crumpled. Using carbon nanotube photodetectors and wireless Bluetooth technology, this sensor enables non-invasive analysis and holds promise for advancements in…
A new alloy could turn tomorrow’s vehicle scrap into America’s next manufacturing advantage. A large influx of aluminum auto body scrap is expected to move through recycling systems over the next ten years. Much of…
