Scientists are exploring hydrogen as a clean energy source to combat climate change, focusing on its production through water electrolysis and use in fuel cells for transportation, aligning with the goal of net-zero carbon emissions…
The new laser leans against a block of titanium-sapphire. For scale, both sit atop a quarter. Credit: Yang et al., Nature In a single leap from tabletop to the microscale, engineers at Stanford University have…
Scientists have set a new efficiency world record for CIGS solar cells at 23.64 percent, highlighting the potential of CIGS technology in advancing solar energy efficiency and reliability. This accomplishment marks a significant step forward…
In the inpainting method, the artificial intelligence system is trained to preserve a known crystal structure (blue, black, and red spheres) and only insert the missing hydrogen atoms (blurred on the left, white spheres on…
Researchers from NYCU and TSMC show that redefining the atomic boundary between materials can address a major engineering barrier restricting the development of next-generation semiconductor devices. Credit: Springer Nature A sub-nanometer buffer improved atomically thin…
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light have developed a simpler and potentially more sustainable method for implementing neural networks using optical systems. A new optical system for neural networks has…
A quantum computer’s cooling system keeps its quantum chips at temperatures close to absolute zero. Only under these conditions can the chips exhibit the quantum properties that make quantum computing possible (artistic impression). Credit: B….
The researchers made a reconfigurable lampshade with multistable switches that correspond to different colors of light. Credit: Harvard SEAS Researchers developed knitted textiles that can function as switches and count steps. A piece of knitted…
Researchers have shown that quantum entanglement can survive a journey through a busy metropolitan fiber network carrying powerful conventional data traffic. Credit: Shutterstock Researchers achieved the first real-world demonstration of quantum entanglement over a busy…
In one half of the ring is housed the sensor array (orange stripes), the sweat extraction component, and the fluidic channel. Credit: David Baillot/UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering A new smart ring could…
