From AT&T to NASA, women working as computers performed the calculations that made modern science possible. In the early ...

Electrical circuits have always been a mystery to me. Those tiny components that look like Chiclets or jewelry beads somehow make a light blink, produce music, and detect motion. So I was happy to ...

In a recently updated, yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper, Odrzywołek says he has, in essence, developed a two-button calculator that can compute the standard repertoire of a scientific calculator familiar ...

This article brings control theory to life. Too often control theory is taught using block diagrams with no reference to real ...

Helping to succeed on this front is an uptake of SiC devices, now sitting at the heart of modernised electrical energy ...

Electronics usually fail under extreme heat, but scientists have now created a memory chip that keeps working at temperatures ...

Theoretical and experimental work described in Nature Physics expands the repertoire of exotic phases of matter.

Dr. Dominic Williamson, a University of Sydney quantum physicist, has developed a new approach to quantum error correction that could significantly reduce the number of physical qubits required to ...

Researchers are looking for ways to avoid rigid robot joints. One possibility is to deform material specifically through heat ...

So-called "exotic phases of matter" are currently a major focus of scientific research. There are two reasons for this. From the perspective of basic ...
