In galaxy clusters, tremendous tidal forces pull out a fraction of stars that wander off into intergalactic space. The faint light emitted by these stars is called intracluster light (ICL) and has a brightness of less than 1% of the…

While FTX appears to be the biggest crypto scam of 2022, it’s not alone. A new survey by Privacy Affairs, Cryptocurrency Scams of 2022, reveals the five biggest crypto losses, scams, and hacks of 2022 ranked by the amount of money lost or…

Hyundai Mobis will unveil a new convergence technology optimized for purpose-built vehicles (PBV) at CES 2023. Their CES theme, 'Hi! For a Better Tomorrow!' will be an intro to new PBV concept models "M.Vision TO" and "M.Vision HI" for the…

As semiconductors gain greater functionality and production volume, the environmental cost also increases. The greenhouse gases and waste from the semiconductor manufacturing process are serious environmental issues. A research team at…

Fidget spinners were all the rage in 2017. What if we could harvest the energy used to send them spinning to power small devices or wearables? We may be able to soon, thanks to researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University. The team…

Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) innovated a device that generates twisted neutrons with well-defined orbital angular momentum—until now considered impossible. The innovation enables the study of next-generation…

Do you want to play a game? Creating artificial intelligence agents that compete and cooperate as effectively as humans remains a challenge—the issue is enabling AI agents to anticipate the future behaviors of other agents when they are…

The James Webb Space Telescope revealed the first detailed molecular and chemical portrait of a distant world's sky. The telescope’s array studied WASP-39 b, a planet nearly as massive as Saturn orbiting a star some 700 light-years away.…

According to physicists at the University of Basel, there is a negative correlation between the spins of an entangled pair of electrons from a superconductor. The researchers used spin filters made of nanomagnets and quantum dots. They…

I just read a fascinating article in the MIT Technology Review by Antonio Regalado, "How much would you pay to see a woolly mammoth?" This story has everything, the mega-rich investor (Peter Thiel), an oversized (potentially) dangerous and…

Materials informatics (MI) today involves AI and machine learning and has the potential to transform materials development. An IDTechEx research report, "Materials Informatics 2023-2033," covers the emerging field and includes case studies…

Researchers at Aalto University developed a new material that changes its electrical behavior based on previous experience—gaining a form of adaptive memory. Scientists could use these materials in next-gen medical and environmental…

There are two cunning ways to determine what a company is up to regarding future technology development—patents filed and job descriptions. Thankfully, we don't have to go through garbage dumpsters to recover memos, files, etc., now that…

Lockheed Martin and Microsoft announced they are expanding their strategic relationship to power next-gen technology for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). The agreement will involve four areas, including: Lockheed Martin will be…

Neuromorphic computing or neuromorphic engineering uses algorithms and electronic circuits to mimic our neuro-biological system. And it is gaining ground. Skyrmions and bimerons, fundamental topological spin textures in magnetic thin films,…
