Researchers realize a spin field-effect transistor at room temperature
A crucial goal of spintronics research is to coherently manipulate electron spins at room temperature using electrical current. This is particularly valuable as it would enable the development of...
AI systems that create original art
In recent years, the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) systems and machine learning algorithms has improved significantly on countless different tasks. In addition to analysing large...
The realization of an Ising Hamiltonian solver based on coupled phase-transition nano-oscillators
Combinatorial optimization problems are a class of hard computational problems that are commonly solved by computers for a variety of applications. Combinatorial optimization algorithms, for...
Researchers realize gallium nitride-based complementary logic integrated circuits
Most integrated circuits (ICs) and electronic components developed to date are based on silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. As silicon (Si) is known to have a narrow bandgap,...
The first experimental realization of a dissipative time crystal
A time crystal is a unique and exotic phase of matter first predicted by the American physicist Frank Wilczek in 2012. Time crystals are temporal analogs of more conventional space crystals, as both...
Study explores the influence of the X-chromosome on brain anatomy
Past neuroscience research suggests that common differences in people's genetic profiles can explain a significant proportion of variations in people's brain anatomy. In more specific terms, they...
A supra-photothermal catalyst inspired by the greenhouse effect
Over the past few decades, scientists worldwide have developing a variety of techniques and technologies that can convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuel using solar energy. This would ultimately be...
DefGraspSim: A pipeline to evaluate robotic grasping of 3D deformable objects
Over the past few decades, roboticists and computer scientists have developed robots that can grasp and manipulate various objects in their surroundings. Most of these robots are primarily trained...
Physicists use a new absorbing-state model to investigate random close packing
Sphere packing, a mathematical problem in which non-overlapping spheres are arranged within a given space, has been widely investigated in the past. It has been proven that the densest possible...
Study shows that rewarded life experiences are replayed and consolidated during sleep
Past neuroscience studies have consistently showed that sleep plays an important role in memory consolidation. For instance, some neuroimaging research showed that the brain regions that are...
