Taking advantage of DNA’s ability to store information, researchers have over the past decade been working on data storage systems and digital logic circuits built on the biological molecule. DNA’s complex physical structure has also led to the exciting technique of DNA origami, with which researchers have made tiny nanoscale…

Blind and low-vision (BLV) people often use sound to navigate, such as via echolocation or within various assistive technologies. Scientists at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and Aria Research, a company that makes bionic devices, decided to blend the two to develop a technique called “acoustic touch.” When used…

Wearable devices, like nearly every other piece of tech, need energy. Fortunately, though, at wearables’ modest power budgets, energy is effectively everywhere. It’s in the sun’s rays and radio waves, the skin’s sweat and body heat, a person’s motion and their footfalls. And today, technology is maturing to the point…

A little bit of distance can make all the difference. That’s what two researchers at the University of Sydney Nano Institute recently concluded in their study on a new method for “superlensing,” a way of seeing things that are smaller than the wavelength of light, and doing so without any…

In a keynote address at IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design Monday, Nvidia chief technology officer Bill Dally revealed that the company has been testing a large-language model AI to boost the productivity of its chip designers.“Even if we made them five percent more productive, that’s a huge win,” Dally…

Researchers Simplify Switching for Quantum Electronics

A quantum cousin of the Hall effect could open the door to energy-efficient electronics, better sensors, and more powerful quantum computers. Researchers have now broken a key barrier to its practical application by controlling the phenomenon electrically, rather than magnetically, for the first time. The Hall effect, discovered by physicist…

Einstein Made It Famous; Tech Makes It Current

There are many ways to convert the movement of liquids into electricity, such as, in the form of hydropower or tidal power. But there’s another kind of movement available in liquids that has rarely been considered for this purpose—molecular thermal motion or Brownian motion. (Albert Einstein famously developed the foundational…

Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station is a permanent scientific research base located at what is arguably the most isolated place on Earth. During the austral summer, the station is home to about 150 scientists and support staff, but during the austral winter, that number shrinks to just 40 or so, and…
