When a machine fails, our first reaction is often frustration. A computer freezing at the worst possible moment, a navigation app leading us straight into a traffic jam, or a washing machine suddenly stopping mid-cycle—all […]
The human brain does more than simply regulate synapses that exchange signals; individual neurons also process information through intrinsic plasticity, the adaptive ability to become more sensitive or less sensitive depending on context. Existing artificial […]
5G has been part of our lives and the market for several years, while the industry is already looking ahead to its successor, 6G. But can we say it is fully implemented?This post was originally […]
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), the University of California (UC) Berkeley, UC Riverside and UC Santa Barbara have miniaturized quadrupole ion traps for the first time with 3D printing—a breakthrough in one of […]
Probabilistic Ising machines (PIMs) are advanced and specialized computing systems that could tackle computationally hard problems, such as optimization or integer factorization tasks, more efficiently than classical systems. To solve problems, PIMs rely on interacting […]
Speech recognition without heavy software or energy-hungry processors: researchers at the University of Twente, together with IBM Research Europe and Toyota Motor Europe, present a completely new approach. Their chips allow the material itself to […]
In a world first, researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have successfully developed a resonant tunnel diode (RTD) that operates at room temperature made entirely from Group IV semiconductor materials.This post was originally published on […]
Optical signal transmission can be significantly improved by limiting the wavelength of transmitted signals. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a technique widely used in optical communication, sensing, and laser technologies for selectively blocking certain wavelengths […]
A new innovation from Cornell researchers lowers the energy use needed to power artificial intelligence—a step toward shrinking the carbon footprints of data centers and AI infrastructure.This post was originally published on this site.
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a portable, silent subwoofer that combines electrical muscle stimulation with low-frequency vibrations. This device enables users to physically feel deep bass in virtual reality (VR) and everyday music. […]
