New type of transistor with extremely high cut-off frequencies
Researchers at Fraunhofer IAF have succeeded in developing a new type of transistor with extremely high cut-off frequencies: Metal Oxide Semiconductor HEMTs, or MOSHEMTs,…
Short-lived radioactive molecule precisely measured first time
Researchers at MIT and elsewhere have combined the power of a super collider with techniques of laser spectroscopy to precisely measure a short-lived radioactive…
New 5G switch for battery life and more improvements
The 5G revolution has begun, and the first lines of phones that can access the next generation of wireless speeds have already hit the…
Particle-scale phenomenon that can change industrial or medical processes
MIT researchers have discovered a phenomenon that could be harnessed to control the movement of tiny particles floating in suspension. This approach, which requires…
New priority program in ML
The German Research Foundation, DFG for short, will establish 14 new priority programs, coordinated by RWTH Aachen University. This includes the program titled “Machine…
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…
