Toshiba’s Newly Launched 1200V and 1700V Silicon Carbide MOSFET Modules will Contribute to Smaller, More Efficient Industrial Equipment

“Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has launched two silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET Dual Modules: “MG600Q2YMS3,” with a voltage rating of 1200V and drain current rating of 600A; and “MG400V2YMS3,” with a voltage rating of 1700V and drain current rating …

Towards Superior Nanoscale Sensing and Imaging with Optimized Diamond Probes

“Researchers propose an alternate fabrication method for diamond probes with greater control over probe shape, higher sensitivity, and broader applications Miniaturized magnetic devices and new spintronic devices require detailed imaging at nanoscales, where quantum properties become important. However, the imaging …

Tracking quantum phenomena in 2D graphene

“In recent years, a phenomenon called the quantum Hall effect has emerged as a platform for hosting exotic features called quasiparticles, with properties that could lead to exciting applications in areas like quantum computing. When a strong magnetic field is …

UC engineers a quieter future for drones, flying cars

“One obstacle to realizing the dream of flying cars is noise — imagine 1,000 leaf blowers intruding over your backyard barbecue. It’s not just flying cars but drones as well. Complaints about the high-pitched keening of propellers could lead …

Using ice to boil water: Researcher makes heat transfer discovery that expands on 18th century principle

“Associate Professor Jonathan Boreyko and graduate fellow Mojtaba Edalatpour have made a discovery about the properties of water that could provide an exciting addendum to a phenomenon established over two centuries ago. The discovery also holds interesting possibilities for cooling …

Using nanodiamonds as sensors just got easier

“Rochester researchers find new way to extract temperature from light emitted by a diamond defect. For centuries people have placed the highest value on diamonds that are not only large but flawless. Scientists, however, have discovered exciting new applications for …

Vibrating atoms make robust qubits, physicists find

“The new qubits stay in “superposition” for up to 10 seconds, and could make a promising foundation for quantum computers. MIT physicists have discovered a new quantum bit, or “qubit,” in the form of vibrating pairs of atoms known as …

Where did that sound come from?

“MIT neuroscientists have developed a computer model that can answer that question as well as the human brain. The human brain is finely tuned not only to recognize particular sounds, but also to determine which direction they came from. By …
