“Build a small circuit from salvaged components, to make an LED shine brightly from low-voltage sources. I feel a special connection to this circuit – whether you call it the “One-Volt LED” (named by Z. Kaparnik in 1999), or the “Vampire …
“Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich take an important step on the path towards topological quantum computers With their superior properties, topological qubits could help achieve a breakthrough in the development of a quantum computer designed for universal applications. So far, no …
News Kyocera develops transmissive metasurface technology that redirects wireless signals for improved 5G and 6G performance
“Kyocera Corporation (President: Hideo Tanimoto) has developed a Transmissive Metasurface technology that can redirect wireless network signals in a specific direction to improve the coverage area and performance of 5G and eventually 6G networks. The Transmissive Metasurface will help deliver …
“Rice study suggests stress among misaligned particles in typical cathodes limits flow If you could shrink enough for a fantastic voyage across a lithium battery electrode, you’d see the level of charge at every scale is highly uneven. This …
“KiCad has improved a lot, but one of the features it’s really lacking is the ability to do smooth, rounded traces with teardrops (fillets on pads and vias). A lot of early, hand drawn PCBs had this look, where …
“Propelling micrometre-sized drones using light only and exerting precise control: Physicists at the University of Würzburg have succeeded at this for the first time. Their microdrones are significantly smaller than red blood cells. A hand-held laser pointer produces no noticeable …
News MIT scientists develop low-cost, high-precision fabrication method for thin mirrors and silicon wafers
“A novel photolithography technique could be a manufacturing game-changer for optical applications. Technologies that depend on lightweight, high-precision optical systems, like space telescopes, X-ray mirrors, and display panels, have developed significantly over the past several decades, but more advanced progress …
“The Mastcam-Z camera recorded video of Phobos, one of the Red Planet’s two moons, to study how its orbit is changing over time. NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has captured dramatic footage of Phobos, Mars’ potato-shaped moon, crossing the …
News New hardware created by Stanford team shows a way to develop delicate quantum technologies based on tiny mechanical devices
“By bringing the benefits of mechanical devices into the quantum realm, Stanford researchers aim to create advanced computing and sensing devices. Stanford University researchers have developed a key experimental device for future quantum physics-based technologies that borrows a page from …
“A joint research and development hub will harness the strength of synthetic diamonds to build a new generation of quantum computers. The newly established Research Hub for Diamond Quantum Materials is led by German-Australian quantum computing provider Quantum Brilliance, with …
