A Bayesian machine based on memristors
Over the past few decades, the performance of machine learning models on various real-world tasks has improved significantly. Training and implementing most of these models, however, still requires...
A new approach for the 3D printing of hydrogel-based electronics
Hydrogels are three-dimensional (3D) polymer networks that do not dissolve in water but retain large amounts of liquids. Due to this advantageous property, hydrogels are particularly promising...
Using cryogenic electron microscopy to study the lithium SEI during electrocatalysis
Ammonia (NH3), the chemical compound made of nitrogen and hydrogen, currently has many valuable uses, for instance serving as a crop fertilizer, purifying agent, and refrigerant gas. In recent...
Study finds that insomnia could cause lower back pain and vice versa
Throughout the course of their life, most humans are likely to experience some form of lower back pain. This pain is sometimes associated with injuries, chronic back issues, medical conditions, the...
Could axion decay underlie excess cosmic optical background?
The cosmic optical background (COB) is the visible light emitted by all sources outside of the Milky Way. This faint glow of light, which can only be observed using very precise and sophisticated...
A memristor crossbar-based learning system for scalable and energy-efficient AI
Deep-learning models have proven to be highly valuable tools for making predictions and solving real-world tasks that involve the analysis of data. Despite their advantages, before they are deployed...
