Charging stations could be the Achilles’ heel that stymies the large-scale adoption of electric vehicles. A recent study is basing its conclusions on unanticipated events surrounding the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The…

For electrons moving along a quantum wire, researchers in Cambridge and Frankfurt have discovered that there are two ‘lanes’, and electrons can take both simultaneously! The flow of electrons carries the current in a wire. If the wire is…

A team of astronomers from the University of Arizona created a detailed, 3-D image of a dying hypergiant star. They traced the distribution, directions, and velocities of various molecules surrounding a red hypergiant star known as VY Canis…

While consumer devices that support 5G benefit from increased speeds and lower latency, some frequency bands allocated for 5G aren't working efficiently due to tech limitations. Depending on the country, these bands span from 37 GHz to 43.5…

For the first time, astronomers have captured images of a periodic rocky near-Sun comet breaking apart, a common fate for heavenly bodies with destabilized orbits. Because they pass so close to the Sun, they are challenging to study, and…

Technology-driven advances like 5G and autonomous vehicles are generating a data deluge that’s beyond current-generation solutions for moving, storing and processing that information. Thankfully, a range of new advances in those same…

In this video brief we’ll discuss the power of SiC. While SiC has been around for a while, we’re seeing now wide adoption. It’s solving challenges that Si couldn’t before. And as the world becomes electrified, we’re witnessing a need for…

Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining significant market share in the industry. Sales of EVs are increasing in response to rising fuel costs and the need for green transportation. The main advantage of electric mobility is that it greatly…

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…
