Memristive radiofrequency switches show improved performance for mmWave applications
Radiofrequency (RF) switches are electronic components that control the routing of RF signals between different segments of circuits, for instance turning the signals on and off or redirecting them....
New learning-based method trains robots to reliably pick up and place objects
Most robotic systems developed to date can either tackle a specific task with high precision or complete a range of simpler tasks with low precision. For instance, some industrial robots can...
An optical lattice clock based on strontium atoms achieves unprecedented accuracy
Researchers at the Ye Lab at JILA (the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Colorado Boulder) and University of Delaware recently created a highly precise optical...
The experimental observation of a dissipative time crystal in a Rydberg gas
A dissipative time crystal is a phase of matter characterized by periodic oscillations over time, while a system is dissipating energy. In contrast with conventional time crystals, which can also...
Lightweight neural network enables realistic rendering of woven fabrics in real-time
Recent advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and computing have enabled the development of new tools for creating highly realistic media, virtual reality (VR) environments and video...
Study identifies new biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease
Micro-sized optical spectrometer operates across visible spectrum with sub-5-nm resolution
Optical spectrometers are versatile instruments that can produce light and measure its properties over specific portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. These instruments can have various possible...
New framework allows robots to learn via online human demonstration videos
To be successfully deployed in real-world settings, robots should be capable of reliably completing various everyday tasks, ranging from household chores to industrial processes. Some of the tasks...
Exploring how astrocytes respond to spinal cord injury or stroke-induced tissue damage
Past neuroscience studies found that when the central nervous system (CNS) is damaged, for instance following a stroke or spinal cord injuries, the lesions become surrounded by borders of newly...
A new method to fabricate stretchable and breathable electronics
In recent years, engineers and material scientists have introduced increasingly flexible electronics that could be used to create new wearable devices, such as smart watches, biosensors and...
