Researchers devise tunable conducting edge

“A research team led by a physicist at the University of California, Riverside, has demonstrated a new magnetized state in a monolayer of tungsten ditelluride, or WTe2, a new quantum material. Called a magnetized or ferromagnetic quantum spin Hall insulator …

Revolutionizing image generation by AI: Turning text into images

“The Machine Vision & Learning Group led by computer scientist Björn Ommer has developed one of the most powerful image synthesis algorithms in existence. Creating images from text in seconds – and doing so with a conventional graphics card and without supercomputers …

Robobug: a rechargeable, remote-controllable cyborg cockroach

“An international team led by researchers at the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research (CPR) has engineered a system for creating remote controlled cyborg cockroaches, equipped with a tiny wireless control module that is powered by a rechargeable battery attached to …

Scientists See Spins in a 2D Magnet

“Research shows that spinning quasiparticles, or magnons, light up when paired with a light-emitting quasiparticle, or exciton, with potential quantum information applications. All magnets—from the simple souvenirs hanging on your refrigerator to the discs that give your computer memory …

Scientists use novel method to make promising battery material

“Charging and discharging a battery cell transforms its electrode material into a ​“super” material. Over the last decade, advances in research and development have led to more efficient lithium-ion batteries. Yet, significant shortcomings remain. One challenge is the need for …

STMicroelectronics sets the scene for advanced in-car safety and comfort with new hybrid sensor for full interior monitoring

“As leading automotive markets start to mandate driver-monitoring systems (DMS), STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, is already equipping carmakers with the required technologies. While DMS promises greater road safety by …

Project  Toy AVR OS

Toy AVR OS

“As an educational project I could do purely in software, I decided to make a toy OS for an AVR microcontroller from scratch. I wanted a cutesy name so I chose KittyOS and made the logo. Unsurprisingly, I’m not …

Turning carbon dioxide into valuable products

“Assistant Professor Ariel Furst and her colleagues are looking to DNA to help guide the process. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major contributor to climate change and a significant product of many human activities, notably industrial manufacturing. A major goal …
