Tech Xplore / Growth strategy enhances efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells
Photovoltaics (PVs), technological systems that can convert sunlight into electricity are among the most promising and widely adopted clean energy solutions worldwide. While existing silicon-based solar cells have already ...
Phys.org / A low-cost protocol enables preparation of magic states and fault-tolerant universal quantum computation
Quantum computers, systems that perform computations leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical computers in some optimization and information processing tasks. As these systems are highly influenced ...
Phys.org / Novel approach suppresses magnetic noise for the fast optical control of a coherent hole spin in a microcavity
Quantum technologies, devices that work by leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical technologies in some fields and settings. The so-called spin (i.e., intrinsic angular momentum) carried by quantum ...
Tech Xplore / Electro-optical Mott neurons made of niobium dioxide created for brain-inspired computing
Over the past decades, engineers have introduced a wide range of computing systems inspired by the human brain or designed to emulate some of its functions. These include devices that artificially reproduce the behavior of ...
Medical Xpress / Tracking anticipatory gaze offers new way to assess memory in silent patients
To assess and study human memory, psychologists have so far primarily used tasks that require people to verbally recall objects they previously saw in images, past life events or other types of information. While these tasks ...
Phys.org / New retina-inspired photodiodes could advance machine vision
Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly sophisticated sensors and machine learning algorithms that allow computer systems to process and interpret images and videos. This tech-powered capability, ...
Tech Xplore / A new dopant-pairing strategy can boost the stability of cathodes for lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), rechargeable batteries that move lithium ions between the anode (i.e., negative electrode) and cathode (i.e., positive electrode), are used to power most portable electronics on the market today. ...
Phys.org / A promising approach for the direct on-chip synthesis of boron nitride memristors
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, thin crystalline substances only a few atoms thick, have numerous advantageous properties compared to their three-dimensional (3D) bulk counterparts. Most notably, many of these materials allow ...
Medical Xpress / New insight into how the fruit fly brain creates spatial representations that support navigation
To move around in their surroundings in meaningful and goal-directed ways, a skill known as navigation, humans and animals rely on a series of complex cognitive (i.e., mental) processes. Navigation is also supported by the ...
Phys.org / AI-enhanced technique assembles defect-free arrays with thousands of atoms
The simulation of quantum systems and the development of systems that can perform computations leveraging quantum mechanical effects rely on the ability to arrange atoms in specific patterns with high levels of precision. ...
Medical Xpress / Human hippocampal neurogenesis shows unique gene expression patterns compared to other mammals
While the process via which different types of neurons are produced, also known as neurogenesis, has been the focus of numerous neuroscience studies, its genetic and biological underpinnings in humans have not yet been fully ...
Medical Xpress / Neural dynamics shed light on how the brain adapts to and suppresses fearful memories
Over the course of their lives, humans can sometimes acquire fear responses to specific stimuli, animals, objects or situations, typically following adverse experiences or traumatic events. Understanding the brain processes ...
Phys.org / High-fidelity entangling gates connect remote superconducting quantum processors
Quantum computers hold the potential of solving some optimization and data processing problems that cannot be tackled by classical computers. Many of the most promising quantum computing platforms developed so far are based ...
Tech Xplore / Contrastive learning framework can detect blockchain-based smart Ponzi schemes
Blockchain technologies are digital systems that work by distributing copies of information across several computers, also referred to as nodes, all of which are connected to a common network. These technologies underpin ...
Phys.org / A new perspective on how cosmological correlations change based on kinematic parameters
To study the origin and evolution of the universe, physicists rely on theories that describe the statistical relationships between different events or fields in spacetime, broadly referred to as cosmological correlations. ...
