Extremely energy-efficient artificial intelligence is now closer to reality after researchers found a way to improve the accuracy of a brain-inspired computing system.
Using a material widely adopted by photonics researchers, researchers have created the smallest electro-optical modulator yet. The modulator is a key component of a photonics-based chip, controlling how light moves through its circuits.
Chemists have successfully tied a series of microscopic knots using individual molecules for the first time, ushering in the advent of a form of nano-scale weaving which could create a new generation of advanced materials.
By mixing electronic resonances in semiconductor nanostructures with the photon field of microresonators, researchers designed a stained mirror that bleaches more easily than ever and could make terahertz lasers ultrafast.
The materials belong to the class of metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs for short, and could open up new opportunities for energy storage.
Scientists have equipped these humble unicellular organisms with semiconductor coatings to create mini power plants, which supply biofuels and are photocatalytically active in sunlight.
Technique may promote practical use of high-performance magnetoresistive devices comprising half-metallic heusler alloys.
