Modulating magnetism in a Weyl semi-metal using current-assisted domain wall motion
Spintronic devices are emerging technologies that exploit the intrinsic spin of electrons to store and process data. These technologies have the potential to outperform conventional electronics both...
A TREM2 activating antibody with a transport vehicle that could boost the metabolism and function of brain microglia
The protein TREM2, which in humans is encoded by the TREM2 gene, is known to play a crucial role in the growth and development of different types of immune cells, including microglia. Microglia are...
A method to change the mechanical and transport properties of conductive polymers
Conductive polymers, synthetic substances with large molecules that can conduct electricity, can have a broad range of valuable applications. For instance, they have been used to create sensors,...
Study sheds new light on the origins of sound-evoked activity in the mouse visual cortex
Recent studies have found that brain regions previously thought to only process a specific type of sensory stimuli, such as the visual cortex, can also be affected by other sensory stimuli. This...
Study achieves the coherent manipulation of electron spins in silicon
In recent years, many physicists and computer scientists have been working on the development of quantum computing technologies. These technologies are based on qubits, the basic units of quantum...
A continuum robot inspired by elephant trunks
Conventional robots based on separate joints do not always perform well in complex real-world tasks, particularly those that involve the dexterous manipulation of objects. Some roboticists have thus...
A framework that allows four-legged robots to follow a leader in both daytime and nighttime conditions
Legged robots have significant advantages over wheeled and track-based robots, particularly when it comes to moving on different types of terrains. This makes them particularly favorable for...
Study demonstrates a new method to search for meV dark photons
Approximately 85% of the mass of our galaxy is comprised by dark matter, matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light and thus cannot be directly observed. While several studies have hinted at...
Researchers derive a unified topological speed limit for the evolution of physical states
Physical systems evolve at a particular speed, which depends on various factors including the system's so-called topological structure (i.e., spatial properties that are preserved over time despite...
Study shows that the lateral orbitofrontal cortex ‘writes’ cognitive maps in the brain
The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is a region in the frontal lobe of the brain known to be involved in decision-making and information processing. The lateral part of this brain region, known as the...
