Anyone who speculates on likely events ahead of time and prepares accordingly can react quicker to new developments. What practically every person does every day, consciously or unconsciously, is also used by modern computer processors […]
The world is steadily moving toward seamless, global connectivity through satellite constellations. Small satellites—weighing up to 10 to 100 kgs—are further enhancing the connectivity with their flexibility and scalability. But the application of small satellites […]
Fifty-two people have died on Catalan roads so far this year, according to data from the Catalan Traffic Service. Although there have been fewer accidents in the first four months of the year than in […]
Newark Liberty International Airport was once again plunged into chaos when radar screens went black on the morning of May 9. It follows a recent disruption in communications with air traffic controllers in Philadelphia, who […]
Oregon State University College of Engineering researchers have developed a more efficient chip as an antidote to the vast amounts of electricity consumed by large-language-model artificial intelligence applications like Gemini and GPT-4.This post was originally […]
A team of researchers at Nagoya University has discovered something surprising. If you have two tiny vibrating elements, each one barely moving on its own, and you combine them in the right way, their combined […]
A paper published by Swinburne University of Technology shows how a kind of “optical ruler,” or frequency comb, can greatly increase bandwidth in today’s data-saturated world. Integrated optical frequency comb sources, or microcombs, have driven […]
Live and on-demand video constituted an estimated 66% of global internet traffic by volume in 2022, and the top 10 days for internet traffic in 2024 coincided with live streaming events such as the Jake […]
As demand grows for more powerful and efficient microelectronics systems, industry is turning to 3D integration—stacking chips on top of each other. This vertically layered architecture could allow high-performance processors, like those used for artificial […]
The evolution of wireless communications and the miniaturization of electrical circuits have fundamentally reshaped our lives and the digital landscape. However, as we push toward higher-frequency communications in an increasingly connected world, engineers face growing […]
