As AI becomes deeply embedded in workplaces, learning how to work alongside it may become an essential career skill. Credit: Shutterstock Workers who learn to use AI effectively may gain a significant advantage as workplaces…
An artist’s illustration of a photonic valleytronic chip for information processing. Credit: Dr. Chi Li Researchers have created a compact chip that manipulates light-based quantum information with remarkable precision, advancing the development of next-generation photonic…
Artistic view of a nanorobot (center and inset) interacting with several bacteria of two distinct types. The dashed arrows indicate the attractive thermophoretic force exerted by the nanorobot on the bacteria in the vicinity while…
The Y-zipper a user creates will appear to “shape-shift” in the real world. When unzipped, it can look like a squid with three sprawling tentacles, and when closed up, it becomes a more compact structure….
A new catalyst developed by University of Birmingham scientists could dramatically lower the temperatures needed for hydrogen production. Credit: Stock Birmingham researchers have developed a new method for producing hydrogen fuel that costs less than…
Camera image of the sidewall-poled lithium niobate chip during UV generation. Credit: Loncar Lab / Harvard SEAS Scientists have achieved a major step toward chip-scale ultraviolet light by converting red light into powerful UV within…
In this illustration, light is coupled into a nanoscale cavity and interacts with an atomically thin material, creating exciton-polaritons. These hybrid particles combine light’s speed with matter’s ability to interact, enabling optical signal switching. Credit:…
Correlated photon pairs, generated via sunlight-pumped spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a nonlinear crystal, demonstrate ghost imaging. Credit: W. Zhang (Xiamen University) Scientists have shown that sunlight alone can generate quantum-correlated photons capable of producing “ghost…
An aerosol jet printer in Hersam’s laboratory deposits electronic inks onto a flexible polymer substrate. Credit: Mark Hersam/Northwestern University Printed artificial neurons can now send lifelike signals that activate real brain cells. This breakthrough could…
Small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, NASA’s High Performance Spaceflight Computing processor packs the power of a full system-on-a-chip. This next-generation processor is made to survive deep space while delivering a…
