Imagine a small, autonomous vehicle that can drive on land, stop and then flatten into a quadcopter. The vehicle then flies away as the rotors spin. What do you see if you looked closer? What mechanisms transformed it from a vehicle on land into a quadcopter flying? It might be a combination of gears and […]

According to a panel of experts formed by national intelligence agencies, some of the mysterious cases that have afflicted U.S. embassy personnel and C.I.A. officers in 2016 in Cuba and Russia, China, Russia and other countries are most likely caused by pulsed electromagnetic radiation. Similar findings were found in the report to National Academies’ 2020 report. A committee […]

Aalto University researchers propose a method to convert the frequency to power. In 2019, the International System of Units (SI) was renamed to become the world’s most widely used system of measuring. Since then, units have been defined using the constants in Nature, that is, Nature’s rules which are set and cannot be changed, like […]

The University of Adelaide researchers and their international partners have made quantum batteries a reality. They have proved super absorption, an important idea that underpins quantum batteries. “Quantum batteries which employ quantum mechanical principles to increase their capabilities require less charging time as they get larger,” Dr. James Q. Quach (a Ramsay Fellow at the […]

Researchers at the University of Nottingham received the first-ever Turing Network Development Award. This award will help them to make Artificial Intelligence more accessible and build trust in its use. This new award was presented to the University of Nottingham, one of 24 universities. It was awarded after demonstrating its research excellence and track record […]

“Speed and accuracy don’t have to be in competition… they can work together, hand in hand.” High-performance computing is essential for many tasks, such as image processing and deep learning applications on neural networks. These tasks require the ability to quickly and efficiently process huge amounts of data. Otherwise, it can take a ridiculous amount […]

The U.S. has warned for weeks about Russia’s possible invasion of Ukraine. It is threatening retaliation if it does. Eight years after Russia’s invasion of eastern Ukraine and the invasion of Crimea, Russian forces have begun to mobilize along Ukraine’s borders. The U.S. and NATO member countries monitor Russia’s activities to determine the best policy responses. They no longer […]

Lund University in Sweden has developed a simple hydrocarbon molecule that can perform a logic gate function similar to transistors. This discovery could lead to the development of molecular-scale electric components in the future. These results were published in Nature Communications. Research and development are both challenging in manufacturing small components. Transistors are one example: the […]

DeepMind, a scientific paper, demonstrates how neural networks can improve approximation to the Density Functional (a method that describes electron interactions in chemical systems). This is a great example of deep learning’s potential in simulating matter at the level of quantum mechanics. DeepMind will also release the code as a paper to make it available […]

A nanomaterials-engineered penetrating sealer developed by Washington State University researchers can better protect concrete from moisture and salt – the two most damaging factors in crumbling concrete infrastructure in northern states. In laboratory tests, the novel sealer demonstrated a 75% increase in water repellency and a 44% decrease in salt damage compared with a commercial […]
