Credit: TU Wien For decades, there has been a trend in microelectronics towards ever smaller and more compact transistors. 2D materials such as graphene are seen as a beacon of hope here: they are the thinnest material layers that can possibly exist, consisting of only one or a few atomic layers. Nevertheless, they can conduct electrical currents - conventional silicon technology, on the other hand, no longer works properly if the layers become too thin. However, such materials are not used in ...

Credit: University of Warwick Flash sintering is a ceramic processing technique which uses electric current to intensively heat the ceramic sample internally rather than using only external furnace heating. The process can lower ceramic processing temperatures and durations significantly, enabling ceramics to be co-processed with metals or other materials, and reducing energy use. However, the process can result in low quality ceramics due to weaknesses caused by inhomogeneities in the microstr...

Dr Bran Knowles, a senior lecturer in data science at Lancaster University, says: Im certain that the public are incapable of determining the trustworthiness of individual AIs... but we dont need them to do this. Its not their responsibility to keep AI honest.

Researchers at the Beckman Institute have developed a new variation of an infrared microscope with analytical capabilities, rendering it effective for probing the chemical conformations of biomolecules. Their work was published in

North Carolina State University engineers continue to improve the efficiency of a flexible device worn on the wrist that harvests heat energy from the human body to monitor health. In a paper published in npj Flexible Electronics, the NC State researchers report significant enhancements in preventing heat leakage i...

In a new paper published in Light: Science & Applications, the group led by Professor Andrea Fratalocchi from Primalight Laboratory of the Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering (CEMSE) Division, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia, introduced a new patented, scalable flat-optics technology manufactured with inexpensive semiconductors. The KAUST-designed technology leverages on a previously unrecognized aspect of optical nanoresonato...

Addressing the increasing demand to accurately measure acceleration in smaller navigation systems and other devices, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed an accelerometer a mere millimeter thick that uses laser light instead of mechanical strain to produce a signal.
