Mar 28, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Will an autonomously driving vehicle respond fast enough, in case of unexpected and maybe even life-threatening situations? Doesn’t data communication and processing ‘in the cloud’ introduce delays that are too long? Local, ‘edge computing’, may speed things up in cases like this. On the other...

Mar 28, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Quantum dots could one day constitute the basic information units of quantum computers. In collaboration with colleagues from Copenhagen and Basel, researchers from Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have decisively improved the manufacturing process for these tiny semiconductor structures. The...

Mar 28, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Better protection of humans and the environment requires precise forecasts of extreme weather phenomena, such as winter storms. Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have now compared methods of statistics and machine learning for forecasts of wind gusts with a view to make the...

Mar 28, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Flow batteries are promising for energy storage due to their high safety, high reliability, long cycle life, and high efficiency. The development of commercial-scale flow batteries for long-duration energy storage requires to reduce the cost of flow batteries, especially the cost of ion-exchange membranes. Recently,...

Researchers used gate set tomography...

Mar 26, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Engineers at Western Sydney University have invented a new surgical glove built around low-cost sensors which can record hand movements in fine detail, giving trainee surgeons and their mentors actionable data to evaluate and improve on intricate surgical procedures. The research team are working closely...

Home > Press > Quantum physics sets a speed limit to electronics: Semiconductor electronics is getting faster and faster - but at some point, physics no longer permits any increase. The shortest possible time scale of optoelectronic phenomena has now been investigated. An ultra short laser pulse (blue) creates free...

Mar 26, 2022 (Nanowerk News) The planetary atmosphere outside the solar system can be revealed by measuring bandpass-dependent transit depths, according to a study by Prof. LIU Jifeng and his PhD student YANG Fan from the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC). By comparing the high-precision...

Home > Press > Peering into precise ultrafast dynamics in matter Flowchart of rt-TDDFT approach for evolution of coupled electronic and ionic systems. Here, we assume that the two subsystems have the same evolution time step CREDIT Ultrafast Science Abstract:A team of researchers from Beijing led by Prof. Dr....

Mar 26, 2022 (Nanowerk News) The traditional trial-and-error method in material research cannot meet the growing demand of various high-performance materials, and developing effective paradigm of material science is extremely urgent. In a study published in National Science Review ("Material research from the viewpoint of functional motifs"), the research group...
