Extremely energy-efficient artificial intelligence is now closer to reality after researchers found a way to improve the accuracy of a brain-inspired computing system. • Email to a friend • Using a material widely adopted by photonics researchers, researchers have created the smallest electro-optical modulator yet. The modulator is a key component of a photonics-based chip, controlling how light moves through its circuits. • Email to a friend • Chemists have successfully tied a series of microscopic knots using individual molecules for the first time, ushering in the advent of a form of nano-scale weaving which could create a new generation of advanced materials. • Email to a friend • By mixing electronic resonances in semiconductor nanostructures with the photon field of microresonators, researchers designed a stained mirror that bleaches more easily than ever and could make terahertz lasers ultrafast. • Email to a friend • The materials belong to the class of metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs for short, and could open up new opportunities for energy storage. • Email to a friend • Scientists have equipped these humble unicellular organisms with semiconductor coatings to create mini power plants, which supply biofuels and are photocatalytically active in sunlight. • Email to a friend • The BIOMAP process uses microparticles of varying sizes. The particles are applied to a surface, covering it and form-fitting all the crevices, gaps and patterns through the autonomous processes of self-filtration, capillary pressure and evaporation. • Email to a friend • Technique may promote practical use of high-performance magnetoresistive devices comprising half-metallic heusler alloys. • Email to a friend • |
