The semiconductor industry could be worth $1 trillion by 2030, growing from $600 billion today – and there will be an acute shortage of talent to fill jobs as the sector grows. The post Education Costs, Lack of Engineering Interest Hurting Semiconductor Industry appeared first on HPCwire.
Many people don’t realize that for the last several years, autonomous vehicle (AV) retrofit technology has been quietly carving out a new niche. The post Examining the autonomous vehicle retrofit market appeared first on Robotics Business Review.
At the MIT.nano facility, researchers demonstrated a newly developed low-temperature process for growing 2D transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials right on an 8-inch wafer. Their successful integration of a 2D material on a silicon wafer can lead to the development of more powerful computer chips potentially benefiting commercial markets. The post MIT Researchers Successfully Integrate […]
Industrial robot sales in India have reached a new record with 4,945 units installed in 2021, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). This is a 54% increase compared to 2020 when 3,215 units were installed. The post India’s robot installations hit an all-time high appeared first on The Robot Report.
In a new study, scientists have observed long-lived excitons in a topological material, opening intriguing new research directions for optoelectronics and quantum computing. Excitons are charge-neutral quasiparticles created when light is absorbed by a semiconductor. Consisting of an excited electron coupled to a lower-energy electron vacancy or hole, an exciton is typically short-lived, surviving only […]
Avidbots announced the launch of the Neo 2W, a cleaning robot designed specifically for warehouses and manufacturing environments to improve cleaning quality, efficiency and productivity. The post Avidbots releases floor-scrubbing robot for industrial spaces appeared first on The Robot Report.
To understand Earth’s changing climate, scientists often turn to science-based computer simulations. Researchers strive to make these Earth system models as accurate as possible. Factors such as wind currents, air quality, and weather patterns all play a role. But current modeling has often overlooked one important activity: agriculture. The post Modeling Agriculture Matters for Carbon […]
Accurate and fast calculation of heat flow (heat transport) due to fluctuations and turbulence in plasmas is an important issue in elucidating the physical mechanisms of fusion reactors and in predicting and controlling their performance. The post Researchers Utilize Supercomputer to Develop a High-precision Mathematical Model to Predict Plasma Flows appeared first on HPCwire.
Two new Department of Energy-sponsored telescopes, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, will map cosmic structure in unprecedented detail. At Argonne and Lawrence Berkeley national laboratories, teams have developed a pair of the world’s most powerful cosmological simulation codes and are ready to translate the telescopes’ tsunami of observational […]
Feng Pan is a postdoctoral researcher in Jennifer Dionne’s lab at Stanford University. He makes metamaterials to manipulate light for quantum information storage. Image credit: D-lab/Stanford University. Scientist Feng Pan creates materials with sculptural features that manipulate light not for their visual effects, but to encode information. The post Feng Pan Sculpts Ultrathin Materials for […]
