Impedance in microwave network analysis
This post tells about impedance in microwave network analysis. Impedance was first used to describe the relationship VIin AC circuits. Later the concept of impedance…
Second life for electric vehicles batteries
As electric vehicles rapidly grow in popularity worldwide, there will soon be a wave of used batteries whose performance is no longer sufficient for…
Pool of candidate materials for topological superconductivity is expanded
Atomically thin layers of the semimetal tungsten ditelluride conduct electricity losslessly along narrow, one-dimensional channels at the crystal edges. The material is therefore a…
Unlocking the mysteries of quarks, gluones and their interactions
How do protons fuse to power the sun? What happens to neutrinos inside a collapsing star after a supernova? How did atomic nuclei form…
Super efficient 2D semiconductor devices
Smartphones, laptops and smartwatches consume vast quantities of energy, yet only around half of this energy is actually used to power important functions. And…
Strong coupling of quantum systems over great distance
For the first time, researchers have succeeded in creating strong coupling between quantum systems over a greater distance. They accomplished this with a novel…
Quickly automating manufacturing companies are thriving
This is part 2 of a three-part series examining the effects of robots and automation on employment, based on new research from economist and…
70 trillion images per second are now possible
Just about everyone has had the experience of blinking while having their picture taken. The camera clicks, your eyes shut, and by the time…
