Future wireless data networks will have to reach higher transmission rates and shorter delays, while supplying an increasing number of end devices. For this…
Sound like wishful thinking? The first steps towards this vision have been undertaken by a multi-institution research collaboration that includes Jonathan Ozik…
For over 50 years, X-ray crystallography has been the foremost method for the determination of three dimensional structures of biological macromolecules.
This could be a step toward molecular computing–building circuits up from molecules rather than carving them out of silicon as a way to max out Moore's Law…
At the heart of “Metrology for THz Communications” is communication technology for the largely untouched terahertz frequency range (THz). Terabit per second…
Quantum information processing promises to be much faster and more secure than what today's supercomputers can achieve, but doesn't exist yet because its…
A new wireless transceiver invented by electrical engineers at the University of California, Irvine boosts radio frequencies into 100-gigahertz territory,…
Is that a dog or a cat? Such a classification is a prime example of machine learning: artificial neural networks can be trained to analyze images by looking…
The team of Toma Susi at the University of Vienna uses a state-of-the-art electron microscope, the UltraSTEM, to manipulate strongly bound materials with…
The 'Vegebot', developed by a team at the University of Cambridge, was initially trained to recognise and harvest iceberg lettuce in a lab setting. It has now…
In general, water wave simulations are based on one of two available methods. ‘Fourier-based’ methods are efficient but cannot model complicated interactions,…
New work from Los Alamos National Laboratory, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the University of Florida is showing that artificial neural…
The incidence of drones impacting air traffic has risen in recent years. In 2018, there were 158 cases reported at German airports. Indeed, Germany’s federal…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is already firmly embedded in our everyday lives and is conquering more and more territory. For example, voice assistants are…
A couple of days ago, a first overview presentation of the project 5G-VICTORI coordinated by IHP – Innovations for High Performance Microelectronics was given…
Artificial intelligence is changing our society, our economy and our everyday lives in fundamental ways. And in doing so, it is creating some exciting…
