Researchers at Hiroshima University in Japan have blended together various polymer and molecular semiconductors as photo-absorbers to create a solar cell with increased power efficiencies…
Electronics are increasingly being paired with optical systems, such as when accessing the internet on an electronically run computer through fiber optic cables. But meshing…
A stretchable system that can harvest energy from human breathing and motion for use in wearable health-monitoring devices may be possible, according to an international…
A viable quantum internet — a network in which information stored in qubits is shared over long distances through entanglement — would transform the fields…
A world record transmission of 1 petabit per second in a multimode optical fiber increases the current record data rate in multimode optical fibers by…
A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit – but not if the transistor…
University of Copenhagen researchers have advanced their quantum technology to such a degree that classical computing technology can no longer keep up. They have developed…
Researchers at Hokkaido University and Amoeba Energy in Japan have, inspired by the efficient foraging behavior of a single-celled amoeba, developed an analog computer for…
Ultra-low-energy electronics ‘straight out of the fridge’? Could a stack of 2D materials allow for supercurrents at ground-breakingly warm temperatures, easily achievable in the household…
Risk researchers are asking new questions about the health and safety implications and how to mitigate any potential health risks to users of 3D printers…
A joint international research team from POSTECH of South Korea, Raytheon BBN Technologies, Harvard University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the U.S., Barcelona Institute…
The current world record tandem solar cell provided stable performance for 300 hours – even without encapsulation. An HZB team has published a report in…
Scientists review some of the research behind a technology that could cauterize a growing global drinking water crisis. A nascent but promising solution to the…
Researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science at The University of Tokyo used molecular dynamics calculations to simulate the glass-forming ability of metallic mixtures. They…
Neural networks are some of the most important tools in artificial intelligence (AI): they mimic the operation of the human brain and can reliably recognize…
Researchers develop algorithms to enable drones to quickly switch between hover and forward flight. When an aircraft veers upwards too much, the decrease in lift…
By copying the multilayer geometry of mammal bones, cathodes for sodium-ion batteries can be made more structurally stable, while maintaining high capacities and fast charge…
