Ruonan Han's research is driving up the rates of microelectronic circuits to allow brand-new applications in interactions, noticing, as well as safety. Han, an associate teacher who recently gained tenured in MIT's Division of Electrical Design and Computer technology, focuses on creating semiconductors that operate successfully at very high frequencies in an initiative to bridge...
Our electrical supply depends heavily on high-voltage direct current cables that can efficiently transfer electricity across great distances. Therefore, improving their performance is a significant challenge. Researchers from the Technology University of Chalmers in Sweden have developed a novel insulation material that is up to three times less conductive with the intention of enhancing...
According to new study from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, changes in major wind and ocean circulation systems can briefly accelerate or reverse the rate of ocean acidification in the Gulf of Alaska. According to Claudine Hauri, a researcher at the UAF International Arctic Research Center, ocean acidification is typically viewed as a slow push...
Blood vessels in mouse kidneys were covered with a unique polymer, which aided in preventing the recipient mouse's body immune system from rejecting the new kidneys after a transplant. Credit: Dr. Erika Siren Scientists have recently found a route to decrease organ rejection after a transplant by utilizing a unique polymer to cover blood vessels...
Volcanic monitoring types and methods employed. Credit: USGS Volcano Hazards Program Scientists must employ numerous tools to listen to and see activity inside a volcano in order to keep a watch on it. The USGS Volcano Hazards Program monitors volcanoes for signals of change that indicate volcanic reawakening. Surveillance must include several observations (earthquakes, ground...
Researchers boost their recently developed quantum algorithm, bringing it to one-tenth the computational price of Quantum Phase Estimation, and also utilize it to directly compute the vertical ionization energies of light atoms as well as molecules such as CO, O2, CN, F2, H2O, NH3 within 0.1 electron volts of accuracy. OSAKA, Japan. Quantum computers have...
In a paper released in Nature Communications, the research study team describes the complicated physical processes working to recognize the chemistry of ice formation. The molecular-level viewpoint of this process may assist in forecasting the formation and melting of ice, from singular crystals to glaciers and ice sheets. The latter is essential to measure...

She was hooked by the 1950s classic The Day of the Triffids by UK author John Wyndham. Instead of discouraging her, the COVID-19 pandemic fed her...
An international group of scientists led by a renowned Harvard astronomer revealed a new initiative Monday to seek proof of technology built by extraterrestrial civilizations. Named the Galileo Job, it envisions producing a worldwide network of medium-sized telescopes, video cameras, and computers to examine unknown flying objects. So far, it was funded with $1.75 million...
