Researchers at McGill University have developed a novel device that generates sound-like particles known as phonons at ...

New ‘gravity mapping’ hardware could lead to new submarine navigation, ground-penetrating geological sensors, and aerial ...

The rapid expansion of the solar cell industry is an important factor in combating global warming and realizing a sustainable energy future. As conventional silicon-based cells approach their ...

Researchers have fabricated a device no wider than a human hair that will help physicists investigate the fundamental nature of matter and light. Their findings could also support the development of ...

The discovery of new quantum materials with magnetic properties could pave the way for ultra-fast and considerably more energy-efficient computers and mobile devices. So far, these types of materials ...

The Large Helical Device (LHD) represents a forefront instrument in fusion research, utilising a superconducting helical configuration to generate and confine high-temperature deuterium plasmas. Its ...

The Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA), a National Quantum Information Science Research Center funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, takes a science-first approach to exploring new ...

As drones survey forests, robots navigate warehouses and sensors monitor city streets, more of the world’s decision-making is occurring autonomously on the edge—on the small devices that gather ...
