On Friday, amid a tariff-induced frenzy that drove hordes of consumers to panic-buy iPhones, President Trump announced a tariff exemption on electronics like smartphones and computers. For a moment, widespread anxiety about a potential $2,000…
DNA strand displacement circuits are inching closer to becoming cellular machines. Scientists are finding ways to make these programmable nanodevices stable and functional inside living cells. If successful, they could revolutionize how we interface with…
Researchers at UMass Amherst developed a novel method for aligning 3D semiconductor chips using laser light and concentric metalenses, projecting holograms that reveal even atomic-scale misalignments. This breakthrough could reduce chip manufacturing costs, enable advanced…
With all the talk about tariffs driving up costs, the word “cheaper” should bring comfort to just about anyone. That’s why I’m delighted to share that the cheaper smartphone from Google has arrived, a few…
Rendition of the discovery where the excitons (e-h pairs) interact via ripples in the magnetic structure akin to an array of spinning tops generating a wave that affects each other and couples the excitons. Credit:…
A NIMS research team has successfully developed the world’s first n-channel diamond MOSFET, a breakthrough that enables the creation of diamond-based CMOS integrated circuits for high-performance use in extreme environments. This innovation leverages diamond’s exceptional…
With full freedom of motion, new device can generate a variety of sensations, including pulling, stretching, sliding, vibrations, pressure, and twisting. Credit: John A. Rogers/Northwestern University The device moves beyond simple vibrations to produce a…
Dear readers, I have a confession: I am suffering from an ailment that the younger ones call “brain rot,” the inability to think deeply after too much scrolling on my phone. These days, it’s tough…
Leading scientists predict a future where ‘Collective AI’—networks of AI units that learn and share knowledge—will revolutionize fields like cybersecurity, healthcare, and disaster response. Inspired by sci-fi concepts like Star Trek’s Borg but with built-in…
