Toward more efficient computing, with magnetic wavesMIT researchers have devised a novel circuit design that enables precise control of computing with magnetic waves—with no electricity needed. The advance takes a step toward practical magnetic-based devices, which have the potential to compute far more efficiently than electronics. |
Astronomy & Space news
![]() | European Space Agency agrees record budget to meet new challengesEuropean Space Agency (ESA) members agreed Thursday a record 14.4 billion euros budget, promising to maintain Europe's place at the top table as the United States and China press ahead and industry disruptors such as Elon Musk's Space X present new challenges. |
Technology news
![]() | Highly performing and wafer-scalable aligned carbon nanotube transistorsAs we enter the wireless world of 5G, communications in the millimeter-wave band (i.e., from 30 to 300 GHz) will become increasingly important, particularly for high-speed wireless data-transfer applications. The trouble is that at these small wavelengths, the on-circuit signal strength degrades rapidly, thus requiring the circuit to be highly integrated into the smallest possible footprint. To best implement this, the high-frequency transistor technology needs to be compatible with the workhorse technology of digital electronics: complementary metal-oxide-semiconductors (CMOSs). |
![]() | Polish firm's drones, from lifesaver to invisible model, take to the skiesSilently the eight propellers of the Hermes V8MT drone begin to spin and the large yellow aircraft rises up, locates its direction and moments later disappears into the sky in southern Poland. |
![]() | Ambient Mode announced for some Android phonesAs far as Android announcements go, the one for Google Assistant Ambient Mode was more like a pleasant cowbell ring than a blasting trumpet but nonetheless it is a new feature and will please those who like the idea of being reminded about information important to them. |
![]() | Nissan invests in production to prepare for electric ageNissan is investing 33 billion yen ($303 million) in its flagship auto plant in Japan's Tochigi prefecture in a first rollout of a production system geared toward electric vehicles. |
![]() | Israel's drone industry becomes global forceIn a fierce battle for market share against world superpowers China and the United States, Israel's drone industry likes to say it has a secret weapon—military experience. |
![]() | In New York, grocery deliveries go high-techIn New York, a city famous for always being on the go, grocery shopping can be time consuming. |
![]() | End of an era as Japan's Panasonic exits chip businessJapanese electronics giant Panasonic said Thursday it was exiting the semiconductor business, selling its loss-making subsidiary to a Taiwanese firm as it struggles with intense competition from China and South Korea. |
![]() | German court issues split rulings over VW diesel cheatingA German appeals court has ruled in several lawsuits against automaker Volkswagen, saying consumers who unknowingly bought cars with software installed to cheat diesel emissions tests deserve compensation but those who purchased them later don't. |
![]() | A new group thinks Amazon is 'too big to govern' and wants to lead the resistanceIn 2017, as cities and states including Philadelphia and Delaware built out lavish incentive packages and sales pitches in hopes of luring Amazon's second headquarters, a resistance emerged. |
![]() | Shooting stars: TikTok's explosive and rocky ride to fameHe's no Bollywood star, but school dropout Israil Ansari has found fast fame on TikTok with two million followers glued to his oddball dancing and rainbow hairstyles in India, the app's biggest international market. |
![]() | Germany aims to shield tech firms from foreign takeoversGermany's economy ministry said Thursday it planned to tighten rules on non-EU takeovers of hi-tech firms, against a backdrop of growing alarm about Chinese firms buying up German know-how. |
