Researchers are planning to develop 100 petawatts laser that can rip apart empty space to produce antimatter and matter. It can target spot targets with a precision of 3 micrometers. It’s a demonstration of new methods to accelerate...
America is known for its rich entrepreneurial culture and it is backed with a long-standing history of venture success over decades. Companies like Facebook and Twitter are just a few of them in 21st century alone. One major reason behind this is...
To generate electric current, two particles must separate in spite of being bound together closely. These two particles, electron and electron-hole, together form an exciton. The higher mobile excitons can achieve more efficient charge separation. ...
Scientists have created an artificial synapse that works like a human brain. It’s a 10 micrometers (diameter) squat metallic cylinder that can process incoming electrical spikes to configure outgoing signal. Strengthening the connection...
British scientists made small objects levitate using a powerful acoustic tractor beam that creates an ultrasound tornado. Unlike magnetic fields, it can hold almost all solids, liquids, food and even small insects. They levitated (stably) a 2 cm...
Facebook is developing models to precisely detect and track movements of different parts of the body (instead of just face) in real time. The full body tracking and segmentation technology is based on the Mask R-CNN framework. They’ve...
They reflectivity of ultra-thin material, molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2), can be adjusted with an applied voltage. MoSe2 shows high reflectivity for specific wavelengths of light. Reflectivity can be changed by adjusting the material’s...
How your brain reacts while listening music can reveal whether you’re a musician or not. Researchers utilized fMRI brain data and applied different computational methods to extract special features of presented music. The machine learning...
Researchers have developed a free-space volumetric display technique based on photophoretic optical trapping. It can produce image geometries that are currently unachievable with holograms and light-field technologies. So far, they have projected...
Scientists build transistor-free analog switching devices using silicon germanium. The small artificial synapses chip can recognize samples of handwriting, with 95% accuracy. It aims to eliminate the limited scalability of current neuromorphic...
Scientists observe high intensity light emitting from individual graphene nanoribbons. It’s 100 times more intense than the previous single-molecular optoelectronic device. The color of light, emitted by 7-atom-wide nanoribbons, can be altered...
Scientists develop a new technique for controlling the nanorobotic arms by applying electric fields. The electrical control can be implemented with low-cost instrumentation and it’s contact-free. In future the technology could be utilized in...
