Atomic 'Swiss army knife' precisely measures materials for quantum computers Posted: 06 Jul 2020 02:34 PM PDT Scientists have developed a novel instrument that can make three kinds of atom-scale measurements simultaneously. |
Leap in lidar could improve safety, security of new technology Posted: 06 Jul 2020 11:09 AM PDT Researchers have developed a new silicon chip with major applications in lidar systems for self-driving cars and smart phones. |
New insights into van der Waals materials found Posted: 06 Jul 2020 11:09 AM PDT Layered van der Waals materials are of high interest for electronic and photonic applications, according to researchers who provide new insights into the interactions of layered materials with laser and electron beams. |
Making plastic more transparent while also adding electrical conductivity Posted: 06 Jul 2020 11:09 AM PDT In an effort to improve large touchscreens, LED light panels and window-mounted infrared solar cells, researchers have made plastic conductive while also making it more transparent. |
Researchers develop software to find drug-resistant bacteria Posted: 06 Jul 2020 11:08 AM PDT The program could make it easier to identify the deadly antimicrobial resistant bacteria that exist in the environment. Such superbugs annually cause more than 2.8 million difficult-to-treat pneumonia or bloodstream infections and 35,000 deaths in the US. |
Consumers prefer round numbers even when the specific number is better news Posted: 06 Jul 2020 11:08 AM PDT Consider this scenario: A vaccine for the novel coronavirus has been developed that is 91.27% effective. If public health officials present this information using the specific number, people are likely to think the vaccine is actually less effective than if it is presented as being 90% effective. This concept is a real-life application of recent findings from Gaurav Jain, an assistant professor of marketing in the Lally School of Management at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, published recently in Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Process. |
New breakthrough in 'spintronics' could boost high speed data technology Posted: 06 Jul 2020 06:48 AM PDT Scientists have made a pivotal breakthrough in the important, emerging field of spintronics -- which could lead to a new high speed energy efficient data technology. |
