The newly developed accelerometer is 100 times more sensitive and 10 times less noisy than conventional ones. It was able to achieve 1 µG level resolution. It can be used in various motion sensing applications, and medical and healthcare technology...
Researchers for the first time develop fully functional, programmable memristor chip. It can enable AI processing directly on small, energy-constrained devices, including sensors and smartphones. Memristor is a compact device capable of both...
The new highly compact camera can image polarization of light in one shot, revealing how light is reflected and transmitted. The camera enables 3D reconstruction of an object and measures its shape, depth, and texture. It can be integrated with...
The new ‘universal memory’ can write or erase data using 100x less energy than DRAM. It would allow computers to boot up instantly and imperceptibly go into sleep mode, even between keystrokes. While different types of charge-based...
TPU is an AI accelerator chip specifically designed for neural network machine learning. TPUs are good for deep learning tasks involving TensorFlow, while GPUs are more general purpose and flexible massively-parallel processors. Machine learning, a...
Researchers build an optical random access memory that performs both Read and Write operations at 10 Gigabit per second. This high throughput optical memory units can decrease the ever-growing gap between processor and RAM performance. Optical...
The new concept, named Flying-V, embraces a whole new approach to airplane design. It integrates the fuel tanks, the cargo hold, and the passenger cabin in the wings. The plane will have less aerodynamic resistance and will use 20% less fuel than...
China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation unveils a maglev train prototype that reaches a top speed to 600 km/h. They will start production in 2021. At present, high-speed rails in China are capable of speeds of up 350 km/h. A new system of train...
Researchers develop a mechanically and chemically stable interface that can increase lithium metal battery life without raising safety concerns. This superthin interface (10 nm) is made of boron nitride. We are becoming more reliant on batteries...
The new integrated corner module would free automobile makers from developing essential components from scratch. It combines a wheel and an electric motor with steering, suspension, braking, and control system, all under a single unit. The...
