Researchers have developed FerroX, a new open-source, 3D simulation framework that could advance record-breaking energy efficiency in microelectronics by unveiling the microscopic origins of a physical phenomenon called negative capacitance in ferroelectric thin films.
As artificial intelligence networks become more skilled and easier to access, digitally manipulated “deepfake” photos and videos are increasingly difficult to detect. New research led by Binghamton University, State University of New York breaks down images using frequency domain analysis techniques and looks for anomalies that could indicate they are generated by AI.
The Atlantic Marine Energy Center (AMEC), led by the University of New Hampshire, is working to develop the technology and skills that will help unlock the power of the sea as a renewable source of energy.
Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 on Monday, a device designed around Apple Intelligence, the company’s generative artificial intelligence (AI) offering. This new feature promises a highly personalized experience that goes beyond AI, but what does that mean for avid iPhone users? As AI continues to appear in our everyday lives, what do consumers need to be aware of Walid Saad, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and artificial intelligence expert at Virginia Tech, says AI today is equivalent to the Internet in the 1990s, early 2000s: “Its adoption will be inevitable, and we should be well-informed in order to understand how it will change our world in the next few years.
An innovative approach in battery technology, known as carrier pre-intercalation, is revolutionizing post-lithium batteries by enhancing electrode materials' electrochemical performance. This method effectively narrows the performance gap with lithium-ion batteries, offering a promising strategy to sustainable and efficient power solutions.
Cosmic radiation is an obstacle to space travel...stop it with BNNT fibers!A research team led by Dr. Dae-Yoon Kim from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a new composite fiber that can effectively block neutrons in space radiation.
KIMM develops seawater-based self-charging energy harvester. Newly developed energy harvester, which is capable of generating 4.2 times more electrical power compared with existing devices, is expected to be used for small-sized equipment such as devices for monitoring ocean environments
University of Washington researchers have developed a flexible, durable electronic prototype that can harvest energy from body heat and turn it into electricity that can be used to power small electronics, such as batteries, sensors or LEDs. This device is also resilient — it still functions even after being pierced several times and then stretched 2,000 times.
The following is a list of Washington University in St. Louis faculty experts who can discuss a variety of topics related to the election, politics and national and local issues.For assistance, contact Sara Savat at 314-935-9615 or [email protected] Butler, professor of political science, Arts & Sciencesdaniel.
NYU Tandon School of Engineering is spearheading a novel initiative aimed at expanding access to semiconductor design education, supporting key objectives of the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act and bolstering NYU's growing prominence in chip design.
Argonne’s entrepreneurship program embeds early-stage startup founders for two years at the lab. They are mentored by a lab scientist. In addition, the program also provides support at the local, regional and national levels including entrepreneurship training and a networking ecosystem to eliminate the hurdles traditionally faced by early-stage cleantech startups.
A real-time adaptive optics system was developed, characterised and applied to measure the 3D flow field through an oscillating surface of a water drop on an opaque Gas Diffusion Layer. A case study shows that the system corrects successfully measurement errors of the flow field that are caused by the refraction of light at the time-varying water-air interface.
The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) announced that they have experimentally verified that KSTAR's superconducting magnets maintain maximum performance even after 16 years of continuous operation.
A new facet engineering approach achieves controlled nanowire dimensions with high crystalline quality, enabling on-substrate vertical emitting lasing from ordered InGaAs/InP multi-quantum well nanowire arrays grown on InP substrates.
Scientists have identified a crucial gene, CsMIKC1,that controls the number of flowering sites in Cannabis sativa, a finding that could significantly enhance both medicinal and grain yields. The study reveals how CsMIKC1 drives inflorescence development, offering new pathways to boost productivity in Cannabis cultivation.
Multi-storey timber buildings are extremely popular. To prevent them from being damaged by strong winds or earthquakes, sufficient bracing must be provided in the supporting structure. Computer calculations provide the basis for this. To check these in practice and improve the computer models, Empa researchers use a two-ton “shaker”.
University of California, Irvine scholars, scientists and physicians continue to blaze new paths to help improve the world. In fiscal 2023-24, which ended June 30, UC Irvine received the most research funding in campus history: $668 million in grants and contracts.
With newly awarded funding from the National Science Foundation, researchers at the University of California, Irvine and the Keck School of Medicine of USC will seek to revolutionize the treatment of neurological diseases through intelligent biocomputing. The four-year, $2 million grant is part of NSF’s Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation program, which funds cutting-edge science pushing the boundaries of human knowledge.
