In 6.A06, an undergraduate class that gives students hands-on experience in nano fabrication utilizing the toolsets and cleanroom of MIT.nano, first-year undergraduate Audrey Lee loads an electron-beam evaporator with silicon wafers, a process step in…
Researchers have combined computational ghost imaging and x-ray fluorescence measurement in a high-resolution and efficient way to produce chemical element maps. The new method could be useful for a range of applications in biomedicine, materials…
When layers of “magic-angle” graphene (bottom) come in contact with layers of certain transitions metals, it induces a phenomenon called spin-orbit coupling in the graphene layers. That phenomenon gives rise to surprising physics, including ferromagnetism….
Three resonators operating at different frequencies read a 3×3 matrix of quantum dots. Credit: © Harald Homulle 2022 EPFL Engineers at EPFL have developed a method for reading several qubits – the smallest unit of…
Researchers find public trust in AI varies greatly depending on the application. Prompted by the increasing prominence of artificial intelligence (AI) in society, University of Tokyo researchers investigated public attitudes toward the ethics of AI….
Artist’s impression of the Ramjet propulsion system. Credit: NASA Since the 1960s, there has been speculation about a hypothetical propulsion method for interstellar space travel. Calculations at TU Wien (Vienna) show: it will remain science…
NIST researchers studied the effects of trees on millimeter waves, which are planned for use in 5G communication. Credit: N. Hanacek/NIST Measurements of trees’ impact on 5G transmissions could prove vital to using a new…
Abstract artist’s concept. Self-healing nanomaterials usable in solar panels and other electronic devices are being explored at the Technion. From the Terminator to Spiderman’s suit, self-repairing robots and devices abound in sci-fi movies. In reality,…
