The Biden Administration announced billions in CHIPS Act subsidies, likely boosting future sales of chipmaking equipment. But OpenAI's Sam Altman one-upped the government, as he's looking to raise ...

Boosting the performance of solar cells, transistors, LEDs, and batteries will require better electronic materials, made from novel compositions that have yet to be discovered. To speed up the search ...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials that can be applied to modern technologies in energy storage, gas separation, carbon dioxide capture, catalysis, and many other areas. There are an ...

Why can’t a computer both play chess and recognize images familiar to most people? It’s a simple question that cuts to the core of the biggest challenges in computing today: Despite their immense ...

As she walks around the lab of Rigetti Computing, quantum engineer Sabrina Hong strains to make her voice heard over a loud pumping noise. It’s the heartbeat of helium refrigerators cooling down the ...

How do you find novel materials with very specific properties - for example, special electronic properties which are needed for quantum computers? This is usually a very complicated task: various ...

Engineers at Pennsylvania State University have constructed the world’s first computer entirely made from atomically thin two-dimensional materials, bypassing silicon entirely in a step researchers ...

A team of US engineers from Stanford have discovered that replacing silicon in conventional chips with nano-materials allows it to be stacked, instead of laying it out side by side, resulting in more ...

For the second time in a year, commercial software provider AnalySwift LLC has received a contract from NASA to develop a design tool for tailorable composites and hybrid system materials. The ...

The electric power industry expects eventually to implement carbon capture of emissions in order to reduce greenhouse gases, yet today's best technology eats up 30 percent of a plant's power.

The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) has published a list of approved Curriculum Support Materials for Grade ...

A new computer vision technique developed by engineers significantly speeds up the characterization of newly synthesized electronic materials. Such materials might be used in novel solar cells, ...
