Next-Gen Memory: Tungsten-Based SOT-MRAM Provides Rapid, Low-Energy Storage

Computer & Electronics, Tech /

The ability to consistently reverse the magnetic alignment in materials, called magnetization switching, is crucial for the operation of most memory devices. One common method to achieve this involves generating a rotational force (torque) on electron spins using an electric current, a phenomenon known as spin-orbit torque (SOT). Information storage devices utilizing this effect are […]

How Smartphones are Revealing the True Patterns of Urban Movement

Geographical Tech, Tech /

When I started my Ph.D. in Boston, I quickly realized how limited and outdated our data is on urban mobility. We often talk about “car dependence,” “walkable neighborhoods,” or “transit equity,” but self-reported surveys that people complete—often outdated by years—usually provide the information behind these terms. These surveys typically ask people to remember every trip

Researchers use Lab-Grown Mini-Brains to Run Computers

Tech, Wearables /

In a lab in the scenic Swiss town of Vevey, a scientist nourishes small clusters of human brain cells with a nutrient-rich solution to keep them alive. Mini-brains must stay healthy to process information, since unlike laptops, they can’t reboot once they die. This new field, called biocomputing or “wetware,” aims to harness the brain’s

Scientists Found an Incredible New Use for Used Coffee Grounds

Food, Science /

Australian scientists discovered that charred coffee grounds can enhance concrete strength by up to 30%. This innovative approach could tackle several issues simultaneously. Each year, people around the world generate about 10 billion kilograms (22 billion pounds) of coffee waste, most of which ends up in landfills. Addressing Waste and Concrete Demand “Disposing of organic

Scientists Developed the First ‘Living’ Cement that Generates Energy and could Reshape Construction

Architecture, Engineering /

Is traditional cement—the kind we’ve known since childhood for laying floors or building walls—nearing its end? In Denmark, researchers have surprised the world with the creation of “living cement.” Beyond construction, this innovative material can also store and generate energy. Scientists at Aarhus University achieved the breakthrough by integrating the bacterium Shewanella oneidensis—renowned for its

How Emerging Technologies Like VR and AI could Shape a Kinder, More United Generation

Artificial Intelligence, Tech, Wearables /

Empathy isn’t merely a desirable soft skill—it’s a fundamental part of how both children and adults manage emotions, form relationships, and learn from each other. Between ages 6 and 9, children start moving away from self-centered thinking and begin to recognize other people’s feelings and viewpoints. This stage of early childhood is a critical time
