At its core, a lot of modern technology depends on relatively simple patterns to receive and relay information. Incidentally, living things have also functioned this way for billions of years—a ...

Atomically thin semiconductors could enable dramatically smaller and more efficient chips, but a stubborn problem at the boundary between materials has limited their performance. Researchers have now ...

You never know what will appear at a swapfest. Sometimes, there’s hardly any test equipment at all. Not this time. There was so much test equipment here that I’ll mostly limit coverage to that genre, ...

Flexible electronics (FEs) have the potential to endow objects with the virtues and functionalities of electronics. The key is transferring manufactured FEs from original rigid substrates and printing ...

Physicists at the BESIII Collaboration have breathed new life into a decades-old test of one of the Standard Model's most ...

Will getting a blood test for amyloid levels eventually form part of routine primary care health checks, or are we putting ...
