A new paradigm to break the electromagnetic reciprocity in 3D bulk metamaterials
Transistors based on semiconductor materials are widely used electronic components with many remarkable properties. For instance, they have a nonreciprocal electrical response, which means that they...
A locally reactive controller to enhance visual teach and repeat systems
To operate autonomously in a various unfamiliar settings and successfully complete missions, mobile robots should be able to adapt to changes in their surroundings. Visual teach and repeat...
Study shows GABAergic neurons in the hypothalamus trigger automatic defensive attacks in mice
In his most renowned work, "On the Origin of Species," Charles Darwin introduced the idea that species need to continuously fight for their existence, and that only the most fit for a given...
A CMOS-based chip that integrates silicon quantum dots and multiplexed readout electronics
Researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory have recently designed an integrated circuit (IC) that integrates silicon quantum dots with...
Study unveils a Moiré nematic phase in twisted double bilayer graphene
Moiré superlattices are systems in which two sheets of a material are placed on top of each other with a small angle misalignment, resulting in a characteristic pattern known as the Moiré pattern....
A device based on 3D transistor arrays for collecting intra and inter-cellular recordings
Animal cells can use elements or ions to generate electrical impulses. These impulses are then conveyed from one cell to another, traveling across cellular networks.
New insights about the toxicity of smoke produced by home stoves and power plants
The color of smoke coming out from chimneys can vary greatly based on its source and how it is produced. For instance, small coal or biomass stoves typically release dense, black smoke, while power...
Dark matter travelling through stars could produce potentially detectable shock waves
Dark matter, a hypothetical material that does not absorb, emit or reflect light, is thought to account for over 80 percent of the matter in the universe. While many studies have indirectly hinted...
A four-megabit nvCIM macro for edge AI devices
Edge AI devices, systems that combine artificial intelligence (AI) and edge computing techniques, are becoming an essential part of the rapidly growing Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. These...
A model that can create realistic animations of talking faces
In recent years, computer-generated animations of animals and humans have become increasingly detailed and realistic. Nonetheless, producing convincing animations of a character's face as it's...
