Koreans made a swarm of microbots drag a caterpillar by the tail, swim and lift loads
The swarming behavior of microbots is easier to direct to perform a task than to force an individual robot to do the same job. A swarm is mutual assistance and…
Caltech has created ultrasonic-powered microbots to deliver drugs anywhere in the human body.
Delivery of the drug to the right place in the body is no less important than choosing the right drug. To control this process, a team from the California Institute…
A new type of magnetism has been discovered in non-magnetic materials – it promises a breakthrough in data storage systems
The theoretically predicted phenomenon of altermagnetism was confirmed for the first time in a scientific experiment. An international team of scientists has observed a magnetic vortex in a material that…
“The last frontier of transistor architecture”: TSMC and Intel talk about nanosheet transistors
Recently, at the IEDM 2024 conference in San Francisco, TSMC for the first time officially spoke about the advantages of moving to 2nm transistors with a Gate-All-Around circular gate and…
Scientists accidentally discovered a particle that gains or loses mass depending on the direction it moves
A group of scientists from the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University for the first time experimentally discovered signs of semi-Dirac fermions – quasiparticles theoretically predicted 16 years ago. Their…
A recipe for Moore’s Law has been found: silicon is “seasoned” with graphene and baked at 300 °C
The reduction in technological processes for producing chips has almost reached physical limits. Copper, which has shown itself to be an excellent wiring device between transistors, began to provide increasing…
IBM has extended optical fiber to the processor – this will speed up the training of artificial intelligence by 80 times
Over the past twenty years, computing and communications have been moving to optical interfaces. This has already happened on the backbone communication lines, but is still stalled within data centers…
The LHC created the heaviest antimatter particle on Earth – antihyperhelium-4
CERN reported that the ALICE scientific collaboration has for the first time discovered today’s heaviest exotic particles and their antimatter antipodes. Scientists have long been concerned with the problem of…
Scientists have created an electrochemical memory that can work in molten lead
One day there will be a memory that will be able to work in nuclear reactors, in jet engines, on the hot surface of planets and in other extremely hot…
IBM and Rapidus figured out how to make 2nm chips productive or energy efficient
IBM and Rapidus prepared a report for the IEDM 2024 conference in which they reported progress towards mass production of 2nm chips. The partners have developed a method for producing…
