Newswise — In the digital age, data storage and processing speed have become key bottlenecks in technological development. Especially with the promotion of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technology, higher requirements have been put forward for the perception, storage, and processing of massive data. Traditional memory devices have drawbacks such as slow data transmission…
Newswise — ORNL’s Joshua New was celebrating his birthday and preparing to ice climb Alaska’s Godwin Glacier when he received his highest career honor to date. The computer scientist and distinguished R&D staff member at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory was named the 2024 Researcher of the Year by R&D World magazine as…
Newswise — An accurate depiction of how waves spread in space and time is essential to the investigation of physical objects and their interactions with waves. In 1948, Dennis Gabor proposed the concept of holography. After 75 years of development, holography has become a powerful tool for quantitative phase measurement. Holographic recording and playback of…
Newswise — Imagine manipulating light with ultra-thin, flat sheets instead of bulky lenses and mirrors. That’s the promise of metasurfaces, a revolutionary nanostructure technology that can twist and bend light in ways never before possible. Metasurfaces are artificially engineered surfaces composed of meticulously designed nanostructures, each smaller than the wavelength of light. By controlling the…
Newswise — What do a particle collider and a human have in common? Not much. But both have parts that need to be kept within a certain temperature range to function properly. It’s a phenomenon mechanical engineer Thea Vijaya Kumar knows well. She designs systems to keep people and machines cool — a cool job…
BYLINE: Russ Nelson Newswise — Winning the 2024 Human Rover Explorer Challenge (HERC) provided an engineering student team at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of the University of Alabama System, the opportunity to perform STEM outreach in the Dominican Republic (DR) this summer. UAH rover team THESEUS members traveled to the…
Newswise — Korean researchers announced that Korea’s Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) commercialization technology, which was the world’s first successfully commercialized CDMA technology in 1996, has been listed on the ‘Milestones Program,’ a world-renowned program hosted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). As a result, it has become Korea’s first technology to…
Newswise — Today, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Hokkaido University of Japan announced their plan to explore collaborative opportunities in semiconductor education and research contributing to semiconductor workforce development initiatives. The two universities recognized the new partnership with a letter of intent signing ceremony held in the Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center,…
Newswise — ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Testing weapons and components in a lab-controlled environment has always been at the center of Sandia National Laboratories’ mission. Since the U.S. stopped underground explosives tests on weapons in the early 1990s, Sandia has developed other methods to conduct experiments that mimic the range of environments a weapons unit might…
Newswise — Efficient technology for splitting the hydrogen-oxygen bond in water could be the key to producing low-cost, green hydrogen for energy storage at an industrial scale. Green hydrogen is expected to play a significant role in achieving the target of net zero carbon dioxide emissions. In a new study, an interdisciplinary group of researchers have…
