Tech Xplore / Low-power, flexible radio-frequency transistors break 100 GHz barrier
Over the past decades, electronics engineers worldwide have been trying to develop devices that could enable even faster communications between devices, all while consuming less energy. To meet the demands of the sixth generation ...
Tech Xplore / New light-based switch could cut chip energy use and speed future AI photonics
Photonic devices are hardware systems that can process information using light instead of electricity. These systems could potentially perform computations faster than electronic devices, while also consuming less energy.
Medical Xpress / How a distinct communication subspace in the brain turns goals into actions
Humans continuously adapt their actions and behaviors in response to changes in their surrounding environment. Past neuroscience studies suggest that this adaptation process relies on the brain's ability to translate abstract ...
Phys.org / Honeybees reveal Weber's law in flight when choosing paths
Honeybees are among the widely studied insects, due to their sophisticated, hierarchical social organization and their essential ecological role. Bees can move swiftly in natural environments, passing through narrow openings ...
Tech Xplore / 100% renewable energy by 2050? A global model maps the way forward
Reaching a perfect balance between the amount of greenhouse gases released in the atmosphere and those that are removed, is considered an important milestone for limiting global warming and its adverse effects on the environment ...
Science X / Ancient woodworking technique could save modern electronics from overheating
Electronic devices and electric vehicles are often made up of several materials and components. The regions where different materials meet play a key role in ensuring that electricity and heat are safely and reliably transferred ...
Tech Xplore / New framework helps robots turn complex language into precise 3D actions
Over the past few decades, roboticists worldwide have introduced increasingly advanced robots that can understand human instructions, move in their surroundings and reliably complete basic manual tasks. While they perform ...
Medical Xpress / Gut-lung microbe shifts may explain clozapine's severe bowel and lung side effects
Schizophrenia is a severe mental health disorder characterized by hallucinations, false and rigid beliefs (i.e., delusions), impaired mental functions, disorganized speech and, in some cases, repetitive body movements. This ...
Phys.org / Why the intrinsic quantum effects of axion dark matter are completely undetectable
Dark matter is an elusive form of matter that almost never emits, absorbs or reflects light, while only weakly interacting with regular matter. These properties make it very difficult to detect using conventional experimental ...
Phys.org / Black holes may avoid singularities when charge and Hawking radiation combine, theoretical physicist argues
Black holes are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, even light, can escape. Einstein's theory of general relativity breaks down inside black holes, either by the presence of a so-called "curvature singularity" ...
Medical Xpress / Autism social differences emerge early but can change considerably by adulthood, research suggests
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in behavior, social interactions, communication, and sensory perceptions. Some autistic individuals find communicating and connecting ...
Medical Xpress / Why brain cells learn better: NMDA receptor maps may explain memory-linked calcium flow
The human brain constantly adapts in response to experiences, forming new connections between neurons and reorganizing existing ones. The brain's ability to adapt in response to experiences is known as neuroplasticity.
Phys.org / Twisted WSe₂ reveals elusive charge-neutral quantum modes
Quantum materials, materials with properties that are influenced by the laws of quantum mechanics, have attracted considerable attention over the past few decades. Their unique properties make these materials advantageous ...
Phys.org / People overestimate how confident AI systems are in their responses, experiments reveal
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly conversational agents such as ChatGPT or Gemini, are now used daily by a growing number of people worldwide. While many users trust the answers of AI agents to their queries, ...
Phys.org / Why some water fleas suddenly grow helmets: Key receptors reveal how predator warnings trigger defense
Daphnia, commonly known as water fleas, are tiny crustaceans that live in freshwater ponds and lakes. When they sense predators in their surroundings, these small organisms can swiftly move away or adapt their body shape, ...
