MIT physicists generate the first snapshots of fermion pairs

“The images shed light on how electrons form superconducting pairs that glide through materials without friction. When your laptop or smartphone heats up, it’s due to energy that’s lost in translation. The same goes for power lines that …

MIT scientists build a system that can generate AI models for biology research

“BioAutoMATED, an open-source, automated machine-learning platform, aims to help democratize artificial intelligence for research labs. Is it possible to build machine-learning models without machine-learning expertise? Jim Collins, the Termeer Professor of Medical Engineering and Science in the Department of Biological …

Nanosheet technology developed to boost energy storage dielectric capacitors

“A research group led by Professor Minoru Osada at the Institute for Materials and Systems for Sustainability (IMaSS), Nagoya University in Japan, in collaboration with NIMS, has developed a nanosheet device with the highest energy storage performance yet seen. Their …

NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Phones Home

“The intrepid rotorcraft may head skyward again within the next couple of weeks. The 52nd flight of NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter is now in the official mission logbook as a success. The flight took place back on April 26 …

Nega­tively charged and yet pretty cold

“Anions, negatively charged ions, are reluctant to be cooled. Physicists led by Matthias Weidemüller from Heidelberg University and Roland Wester from the University of Innsbruck have now developed a method for cooling molecular anions to below 3 Kelvin in a …

New 600 V discrete IGBTs from Nexperia for class-leading efficiency in power applications

“Nexperia, the essential semiconductor expert, today launched its entry to the insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) market with a range of 600 V devices, starting with the 30 A NGW30T60M3DF. By adding IGBTs to its extensive portfolio, Nexperia is addressing …

New Bioinspired Robot Flies, Rolls, Walks, and More

“A newly created real-life Transformer is capable of reconfiguring its body to achieve eight distinct types of motion and can autonomously assess the environment it faces to choose the most effective combination of motions to maneuver. The new robot, dubbed …

New Laser-Based Method Could Help Scientists Discover New Puncture-Resistant Materials

“A bullet piercing the protective armor of a first responder, a jellyfish stinging a swimmer, micrometeorites striking a satellite: High-speed projectiles that puncture materials show up in many forms. Researchers constantly aim to identify new materials that can better resist …
