Instead of tossing out devices when there's a new model, we could upgrade them with the latest sensors and processors that snap onto a device's internal chip — like LEGO bricks. Such reconfigurable chips could keep devices up to date and…

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected SRI International to create a first-ever quantum technology manufacturing roadmap (QTMR). A $300,000 grant from NIST will fund the effort. The roadmap will identify…

We use electro-optic modulators for everything from sensing to metrology and telecommunications. Research tends to focus on applications that take place on chips or within fiber optic systems. But what about optical applications outside the…

Ultralight particle clouds can form around rotating black holes. Physicists from the University of Amsterdam and Harvard University now show that these clouds would leave a characteristic imprint on the gravitational waves emitted by binary…

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, dramatically improved the coherence time of a previously developed quantum membrane. The membrane can store sensitive quantum information for further processing in a quantum…

Tampering with hardware used to read out information is a huge security risk. Researchers in Bochum developed a method to detect such manipulations—monitoring the systems with radio waves that react to the slightest changes in the ambient…

Today, the Faraday Institution awarded 16 small, fast-paced, focused projects in areas not covered within its existing battery research portfolio. The projects address anodes, electrolytes, cathodes, next-generation technologies,…

Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have discovered how subtle structural changes in strontium titanate, a metal oxide semiconductor, alter the material’s electrical resistance and affect superconducting properties.…

In alloy research that is breaking new ground, University of Birmingham scientists described how microscopic crystals grow and change shape in molten metals, paving the way for improving the tensile strength of alloys used in casting and…

The design and optimization of the surface electrochemical active sites is hot research for catalysts and batteries. Lithium-sulfur batteries provide a high energy density while being low cost and environmentally friendly. Challenges still…

'The Great Resignation' will continue, and one in five workers says they will likely switch to a new employer in the next 12 months, according to PwC's Global Workforce Hopes and Fears survey. PwC surveyed 52,195 workers in 44 countries and…

Researchers at the NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Smart Materials Lab published in the journal Nature Communications that organic crystals can serve as efficient and sustainable energy conversion materials for advanced technologies such as robotics…

Classical machine learning is reaching its limits, and scientists must develop new models to better understand and use molecular data. The DFG's Priority Program, "Use and Development of Machine Learning for Molecular Applications –…

Engineers face complex design challenges daily. According to Antti Oulasvirta, professor of electrical engineering at Aalto University and the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence, designers rely on intuition, experience, and trial…
