John Bubnikovich, ABB US Robotics Division President, is making several predictions on key trends in robotics automation in the US for 2023 and beyond.   The post ABB: Top US robotics trends appeared first on Robotics Business Review.

Metals are a class of materials that are fairly well-understood—we’ve used them in technology for centuries, from arrowheads to smartphones—but “strange metals” are a certain kind of metal that scientists don’t know how to explain. While it’s more often seen in a lab than in our everyday lives, figuring it out could provide new answers […]

Purdue University engineers have developed a patent-pending tool to make the manufacture of ultrathin semiconductors more consistent, controllable and repeatable than traditional methods. The post Purdue Engineers Develop New Tool for Ultrathin Semiconductor Production appeared first on HPCwire.

In a new study in Nature Machine Intelligence, researchers Bojian Yin and Sander Bohté from the HBP partner Dutch National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) demonstrate a significant step towards artificial intelligence that can be used in local devices like smartphones and in VR-like applications, while protecting privacy. They show how brain-like […]

Scientists confirmed that bilayer graphene can produce better results working as a semiconductor than silicon or gallium arsenide when the materials are used for hosting quantum bits in quantum information processing. At Forschungszentrum Jülich’s Helmholtz Nano Facility, scientists created double quantum dots in bilayer graphene that exhibited near perfect electron-hole symmetry. Their efforts are paving […]

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 […]
