Researchers “Split” Phonons in Step Toward New Type of Linear Mechanical Quantum Computer
The experiments are the first of their kind and could lead to new advances in computing. A team at the University of Chicago has explored the quantum properties of phonons, the quantum particles that transmit sound. They have shown that phonons can be "split" into a quantum superposition and beha
Dalla Norvegia la nave da crociera elettrica con vele solari retrattili | Hardware Upgrade
La compagnia norvegese Hurtigruten ha iniziato lo sviluppo di una nave elettrica e super efficiente, in grado di catturare l'energia del sole e del vento su vele retrattili dalla superficie enorme
I fisici scoprono un materiale esotico fatto di bosoni
Take a lattice—a flat section of a grid of uniform cells, like a window screen or a honeycomb—and lay another, similar lattice above it. But instead of trying to line up the edges or the cells of ...
L'esperimento sull'evoluzione produce un lievito 20.000 volte più grande e 10.000 volte più resistente
Scientists are conducting a long-term experiment on evolution in the lab, to investigate how single-celled organisms could evolve into multicellular lifeforms. After thousands of generations, their yeast grew 20,000 times bigger and 10,000 times tougher.
Combattere i batteri orali è elementare con lo strumento di rilevamento basato su SHERLOCK
Thanks to a novel tool that detects bacteria in saliva using SHERLOCK, the evolution of CRISPR, you may soon be able to leave the dentist after a checkup with more comprehensive information about the health of your mouth. The accurate tool is much faster than existing methods and may lead to the early detection and treatment of mouth and other diseases.
I neuroni artificiali imitano abilità cerebrali complesse per l'intelligenza artificiale di prossima generazione | università di Oxford
Researchers have created atomically thin artificial neurons capable of processing both light and electric signals for computing. The material enables the simultaneous existence of separate
Scientists Discover a New Class of “Molecular Motors”
Cells possess a remarkable ability to organize their interiors using minuscule protein machines known as molecular motors, which generate directed motion. Most molecular motors rely on a common form of chemical energy, ATP, to function. Recently, a team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute o
Un nuovo materiale scoperto a Stanford può dare vita a memorie magnetiche più efficienti | Hardware Upgrade
Gli studiosi di Stanford hanno scoperto un composto metallico che può dare vita a forme più efficienti di memoria utili a portare l'addestramento delle IA sui singoli dispositivi anziché su server remoti.
Sesame seed-sized radar senses movements 100x smaller than a hair
Engineers at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) have developed a new radar sensor that can pick up movements just 100th the width of a human hair. Better yet, the sensor itself is only the size of a sesame seed and is energy efficient.
