High-precision measurements provide important clues about processes that impair superconductor efficiency.  Superconductivity depends on the presence of electrons bound together in a Cooper pair. Two electrons become coupled because of…

People often take New Year's predictions with a grain of salt. And, in some cases, that's wise. HOWEVER, the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE CS) is showing us its scorecard for 2021 Technology Predictions. Their score? A collective grade of B-…

A team of astrophysicists suggests that all black holes were created instantly after the Big Bang and account for all dark matter. Researchers from the University of Miami, Yale University, and the European Space Agency believe black holes…

Sometimes making the parts necessary for green technologies can have dire effects on human wellbeing. The cobalt used in lithium-ion batteries in Africa's Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a good example. Researchers led by…

While the image above may look like Jello, it isn't. It is an engineered bacteria and silica combination that can self-assemble and self-heal. And, while these materials aren't likely to hit the shelves any time soon, researchers have made…

Researchers have produced a flexible fiber lithium-ion battery 140 meters long. For those not using the metric system, that is just over 459 feet. The battery can be used in wearables and could even lead to 3D-printed batteries in nearly…

STMicroelectronics introduced its third generation of STPOWER silicon-carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, advancing power devices for electric-vehicle (EV) powertrains and other applications where power density, energy efficiency, and reliability are…

Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and drone applications, in the realm of industrial mobility is gaining traction due to the current labor shortage. This shortage and the subsequent application uptick have been further exacerbated by the…

NortonLifeLock set out its top predictions for cyber trends in 2022, including new momentum in cyberactivism, scammers capitalizing on natural disasters, the demise of online tracking, the rise of cryptocurrency scams—and a lot more.…

According to The Conference Board of Canada research, Canadian businesses do not plan to change their supply chain designs based on pandemic-induced supply chain issues. The research shows that they aren't feeling the pressure that the…
