The observation of 1D Coulomb drag between adjacent QSH edges separated by an air gap
Two important factors limiting Moore's Law are power consumption and Coulomb interactions. Coulomb interactions are interactions between electric charges that follow Coloumb's law, an...
Study provides a unified description of non-radiative voltage losses in organic solar cells
In recent years, researchers have been trying to develop increasingly efficient and advanced solar technologies. One way of increasing the efficiency of solar cells is to reduce energy losses (i.e.,...
Researchers fabricate logic gates based on neuristors made of 2D materials
Individual neurons in the human brain can efficiently perform so-called Boolean operations; a type of algebraic operations that include union, subtraction and intersection. Computing systems that...
An approach to achieve compliant robotic manipulation inspired by human adaptive control strategies
Over the past few decades, roboticists have created increasingly advanced and sophisticated robotics systems. While some of these systems are highly efficient and achieved remarkable results, they...
Researchers create unipolar barrier photodetectors based on 2D layered materials
High dark current can significantly impair the performance of infrared photodetectors, devices that can detect photons in the form of infrared radiation. For many years, most solutions for blocking...
Neuroscientists assess the impact of a short-term musical training on implicit emotion regulation
Emotion regulation is an essential aspect of mental health and wellbeing. In fact, past studies have found associations between poor emotion regulation and several psychiatric disorders, including...
A model to predict how much humans and robots can be trusted with completing specific tasks
Researchers at University of Michigan have recently developed a bi-directional model that can predict how much both humans and robotic agents can be trusted in situations that involve human-robot...
Beyond sleep: exploring the ways in which melatonin communicates with cells
Melatonin is often perceived as the hormone of sleep, yet its mechanisms and functions have much broader implications. Through a series of biological dynamics, melatonin is known to help the body...
Statistics to simplify and understand complex imaging data
When appropriately studied and analysed, large sets of data help researchers to observe changes over time or across conditions and reach important scientific breakthroughs. This is also true for...
Computational methods of researching cancer treatments
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms have the potential to bring substantial advances in the fields of research exploring complex diseases and trying to identify effective...
