Smartphones and computers process information by switching the current that flows inside semiconductors on and off. The gate electrode delivers the signal that controls this switching. Until now, gate electrodes have typically been made from metals whose electronic properties are fixed.

Australian medtech company Sleeptite and RMIT University researchers have secured a U.S. patent for smart bedding technology designed to monitor residents

Researchers at the University of Arkansas and the University of Michigan have reported the creation of a graphene-based energy harvester that uses ambient radiation to run ultralow-power temperature sensors. This is the second sensor created by the team whose overall goal is development of autonomous sensor systems that draw power from multiple sources in the environment

One day, you may be able to easily smell what you are looking at when browsing online. Sending smells over the internet has long been a dream, and while it may seem far-fetched, researchers have now taken a major step toward making it a reality.

AI data centers need to move lots of information quickly, and the demand for faster data transmission is only growing. Over very short distances, data centers can use traditional copper wires to connect chips right next to one another. But over distances longer than 1 m (3.3 feet), the connection requires fiber optic cables.

Details have been published of a critical flaw in the programming language PHP, which is the backbone of more than 70% of all websites. Left unfixed, the flaw would allow hackers to easily take over and compromise millions of websites and the information held on their servers. In response, multiple European governments and operators including the Port of Rotterdam have taken websites offline.

Artificial intelligence has found critical security flaws in a major programming language called PHP, with many websites taken offline Thursday as organizations worldwide scramble to fend off would-be hackers.

Could a magnetic field be used to identify in advance which OLEDs will keep smartphone and TV screens bright the longest? A KAIST research team has developed a technique that predicts OLED lifetime by analyzing small changes in brightness caused by a magnetic field. The technique reduces the need for long operating tests and is expected to support the development of longer-lasting displays.

As artificial intelligence moves increasingly toward edge devices, researchers are exploring electronic components that can combine memory and information processing. Memristive and synaptic devices are of particular interest because their electrical conductance can retain information about previous inputs, providing a physical basis for brain-inspired computing.

As humans and AI models roam the internet, they encounter lots of junk: clickbait headlines, misinformation, hashtags. Research by Dr. Zhengzhong Tu and his colleagues indicates that this junk-filled environment could be a cause for concern.

Researchers have developed two new organic semiconductor materials using a light-driven chemical reaction. The paper is published in Chemistry

The Albanese government has introduced its digital duty of care legislation to parliament today. The bill includes an

Solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), which convert chemical energy directly into electrical power, are promising energy-conversion technologies because they can operate on various fuels, including hydrogen, natural gas and biogas.

As manufacturers face growing uncertainty tied to critical material shortages and global supply chain disruptions, the Department of Energy

Apple on Tuesday unveiled HomeView, a voice-driven smart display built around its revamped Siri AI assistant, as the iPhone maker makes a fresh bid for a place in living rooms and kitchens.

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, only a few atomic layers thick, are promising materials for making AI chips faster and more energy efficient by stacking additional semiconductor layers on top of existing computing circuits. However, when crystals form at multiple random locations during growth, it is difficult to produce high-quality semiconductors at the desired positions.

Inside the human brain, billions of individual neurons connect to form a vast network capable of rapidly processing information and electrical signals. A team of researchers and engineers at Penn State is taking inspiration from these natural computers to build soft networks of water-based droplets, connected by membranes like those found in the walls of living cells.

Integrated circuits are electronic chips containing the interconnected components that process information or control electrical signals inside many electronic devices. These chips are known to generate heat as they operate, which can affect the safety and performance of electronics.
