The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been unlocking many mysteries, and now it's finding multiple galaxies that grew massive too soon after the Big Bang if the standard model of cosmology is to be believed. In a study published in …

Researchers from the University of Manchester report record-high magnetoresistance in graphene under ambient conditions, publishing their findings in Nature. Potential applications include vehicles and computers with multiple tiny magnetic…

Optical manipulation of material properties could bring about new functions. For example, exciting electrons with strong light can lead to exotic quantum effects. The periodic perturbations from the strong light field cause electrons to…

China is moving to regulate artificial intelligence (AI). Under draft regulations released this week, Chinese tech companies must register generative AI products with China’s cyberspace agency and submit them for a security assessment…

Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed an open-source optimization framework called Zeus that can reduce the energy consumption of deep learning models by up to 75% without requiring any new hardware. This new tool,…

Have you ever wondered how Ant-Man, a Marvel movie character, can produce such strong energy out of his small body? The answer lies in the "transistors" on his suit that amplify weak signals for processing. However, traditional transistors…

I recently wrote an article on an individual achieving an award from a professional organization based on their commitment and delivery to the organization and their industry segment. I asked him why individuals/companies join such an…

The University of Cambridge researchers have created a low-cost and energy-efficient robotic hand that grasps a range of objects without dropping them. Their success lies in using just the movement of its wrist and the feeling in its…

Electronic noses, or e-noses, are systems that combine chemical gas sensors, signal processing, and machine learning algorithms to mimic the sense of smell. E-noses can be used for checking food quality, monitoring air pollution, diagnosing…

A NASA instrument designed to provide unprecedented resolution in monitoring major air pollutants (down to four square miles) was launched on April 7. The Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) instrument will help improve…
