Solar energy researchers at Oregon State University are shining their scientific spotlight on materials with a crystal structure discovered nearly two centuries ago. Not all…
Researchers have invented a way to slide atomically-thin layers of 2D materials over one another to store more data, in less space and using less…
To the general public, lasers heat objects. And generally, that would be correct. But lasers also show promise to do quite the opposite — to…
MIT engineers have designed a “brain-on-a-chip,” smaller than a piece of confetti, that is made from tens of thousands of artificial brain synapses known as…
Ion-based technology may enable energy-efficient simulations of the brain’s learning process, for neural network AI systems. Teams around the world are building ever more sophisticated…
Using Turbulence to Generate Frequency Combs From Small Ring Lasers We’ve all experienced turbulent air and water, but did you know light can be turbulent…
