In future decades the need for effective strategies for medical rehabilitation will increase significantly, because patients’ rate of survival after diseases…
Nanosized magnetic particles called skyrmions are considered highly promising candidates for new data storage and information technologies. Now, physicists…
The hybrid photonic integration platform PolyBoard, developed at Fraunhofer HHI, enables the flexible and efficient combination of various optical…
Most of the plastic objects we see are created using injection molding, but designing such molds is a difficult task, usually requiring experts. Now, computer…
When engineers or designers want to test the aerodynamic properties of the newly designed shape of a car, airplane, or other object, they would normally model…
As a proof of concept, a team led by the University of California San Diego has built a stretchable electronic patch that can be worn on the skin like a…
When designers select a method for simulating water and waves, they have to choose either fast computation or realistic effects; state-of-the-art methods are…
Global demand for electric vehicles is forecast to rise sharply: by 2025, the number of new vehicle registrations is expected to reach 25 million per year….
Researchers have demonstrated holonomic quantum gates under zero-magnetic field at room temperature, which will enable the realization of fast and…
Tracker apps provide a means for legitimate personal tracking, i.e. for parents to locate their children. Many tracker apps, however, contain serious security…
Plasmonic waveguides open the possibility to develop dramatically miniaturized optical devices and provide a promising route towards the next-generation of…
A team of UCLA electrical and computer engineers has created a physical artificial neural network — a device modeled on how the human brain works — that can…
A new protective metamaterial “cladding” prevents light from leaking out of the very curvy pathways it would travel in a computer chip.
But research by Brown University scientists shows that computers fail miserably at a class of tasks that even young children have no problem with: determining…
Sometimes, when experimental scientists get their hands on a supercomputer, it can change the course of their careers and open up new questions for exploration.
The human brain has billions of neurons (nerve cells), each with thousands of connections to other neurons. Many computing research projects aim to emulate the…
