“Rice, Amazon report breakthrough in ‘distributed deep learning’ MACH slashes time and resources needed to train computers for product searches Online shoppers typically string together a few words to search for the product they want, but in a world with …
“Rice University-printed sample is full of holes, but stops bullets better than solid materials A lightweight material full of holes is nearly as hard as diamond. The mere dents left by speeding bullets prove it. Researchers at Rice University’s …
“Alloy behaves strangely while traversing potential ‘spin liquid’ state Rice University physicist Qimiao Si began mapping quantum criticality more than a decade ago, and he’s finally found a traveler that can traverse the final frontier. The traveler is an …
“Lab’s ‘green’ invention reduces carbon dioxide into valuable fuels A common greenhouse gas could be repurposed in an efficient and environmentally friendly way with an electrolyzer that uses renewable electricity to produce pure liquid fuels. The catalytic reactor developed …
“Surprising behavior could safeguard information stored in quantum bits Physicists studying the strange behavior of metal alloys called heavy fermions have made a surprising discovery that could be useful in safeguarding the information stored in quantum bits, or qubits, the …
“A Rice University lab wants its products to look sharp, even at the nanoscale. Its latest creation is right on target. The Rice lab of materials scientist Pulickel Ajayan has created unique two-dimensional flakes with two distinct personalities: molybdenum diselenide …
“Carbon nanotube films created at Rice University enable method to recycle waste heat The ever-more-humble carbon nanotube may be just the device to make solar panels – and anything else that loses energy through heat – far more efficient. Rice University scientists …
“How much heat can a molecule handle? That’s been a tough question to answer until now, but Longji Cui is on the case. The Rice University researcher and his former colleagues at the University of Michigan published the first …
“Rice University engineers boost output of solar desalination system by 50% Rice University’s solar-powered approach for purifying salt water with sunlight and nanoparticles is even more efficient than its creators first believed. Researchers in Rice’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics …
“Rice lab claims a viable competitor for copper in 5G wireless and other applications Antennas made of carbon nanotube films are just as efficient as copper for wireless applications, according to researchers at Rice University’s Brown School of Engineering …
