Integrating a new ferroelectric semiconductor, it paves the way for single amplifiers that can do the work of multiple conventional amplifiers, among other possibilities.
Recent experiments in quantum mechanics challenge our fundamental understanding of how the universe works. Some physicists argue that the idea of 'retrocausality', in which present actions can affect past events, could explain the mysterious connection between distant particles and rescue the intuitions of locality and realism.
Researchers created a new family of hybrid materials, which are halfway between ordered structures like zeolites and unordered structures, that have irregular but large cavities allowing them to transform complex and bulky molecules, thus presenting endless possibilities for sectors like energy and pharmaceuticals.
Super-resolution microscopy has transformed the way we view the biological world, and enabled scientists to visualize biological structures and their interactions inside cells, at a resolution of a few nanometers. But 'seeing' atomic motion in space and time is not straightforward. Researchers set out do something similar and see how individual atoms move in a molecule using X-rays. The result is an approach to extend super-resolution imaging to the challenging case of ultrafast scattering.
Researchers are developing a new type of computer component that is more powerful and easier to manufacture than its predecessors. Inspired by the human brain, it is designed to process large amounts of data fast and in an energy-efficient way.
