Boosting Memory Chips
Boosting Memory Chips
In each generation cycle memory chips get smaller and less expensive, but can hold more data. They are used in USB memory sticks, personal computers, video consoles and many other electronic devices.
The achievement of making an object totally invisible could speed things up
The achievement of making an object totally invisible could speed things up
One of the brains behind the invisible cloak is Professor Sir John Pendry at Imperial College London. “The cloak design has been around since 2006 when David Smith and I published our paper, but the first implementations were for radar waves.
Automated Truck Inspection
Automated Truck Inspection
German highway engineers have set up a new system of cameras and sensors in the ground – to determine weight, speed and even state of the wheels and brakes.
What changes will nanoelectronics bring to our lives?
What changes will nanoelectronics
bring to our lives?
In nanoelectronics , miniaturised electronic circuits are integrated on semiconductor chips where the basic element is the transistor. The size of the transistors produced is under 100 nm.
From TV to reality: how transformable robots will change our life
From TV to reality: how transformable robots will change our life
If you grew up in the 80s or the 90s, you will have hardly missed “The Transformers”, an American animated series that mesmerized and marked a whole generation, with its futuristic heroes: ...
Robots for gender balance: helping women conquer the construction sector
Robots for gender balance: helping women conquer the construction sector
In 2019, barely aged 16, climate activist Greta Thunberg addressed the UN Assembly in New York to call the World leaders back to their responsibilities on climate action.
Rebound behaviours, nudges, competition: energy saving is a matter of mindset
Rebound behaviours, nudges, competition: energy saving is a matter of mindset
Understanding how people decide to use less energy at home or at work is crucial to boost virtuous behaviours. Our reaction to any novelty is so complex that a lot of socio-psychological research has been done to try to make it more predictable.

Andris Ambainis – The mathematics of quantum computing
Quantum computers, once they become a reality, are expected to provide the capabilities to perform parallel computations on a massive scale. They are subject of intense research in two directions.
Martin Plenio – Towards quantum technologies
Martin Plenio – Towards quantum technologies
Quantum mechanics is about to fundamentally change the way we can transmit and sense information. The idea is that information—represented by physical quantities such as the spin or the polarisation of an individual photon—can be transmitted with the help of so-called quantum entanglement.
