In the quest to develop smaller, more efficient optoelectronic devices, researchers have identified the need for higher gate capacitance to reduce energy consumption. This necessitates the use of insulating materials with a high dielectric constant (κ), such as hafnium oxide (HfO2), to maximize charge storage capacity. However, integrating these high-κ materials with two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors
Alzheimer’s disease has long been associated with the accumulation of proteins in brain cells, but a recent study has shed light on a different aspect of the disease. Lipid deposits, which were first observed by Alois Alzheimer over a century ago, have not received as much attention as other biological changes linked to Alzheimer’s. However,
Having surgery can be a daunting experience for many people, and the recovery process can vary from person to person. One common side effect of surgery is a decline in brain function that can last weeks to months for some individuals, leading to memory difficulties and potentially an increased risk of dementia. A new animal
In the heart of Romania, engineer Antonia Toma activates the world’s most powerful laser at a research center near the capital Bucharest. This laser, operated by the French company Thales, is built on Nobel prize-winning inventions from Gerard Mourou and Donna Strickland. These inventions have unlocked the potential for groundbreaking advances in fields ranging from
Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have been gaining attention as a promising class of transistors that offer unique advantages for various applications, such as biosensors, wearable devices, and neuromorphic systems. Despite their potential, traditional OECTs have faced challenges related to stability and slow redox processes. However, researchers at Northwestern University have recently introduced a novel fabrication
Sex is often touted as having numerous physical and psychological benefits. From reducing high blood pressure to improving the immune system and aiding in better sleep, the act of sex and orgasm can have a positive impact on overall well-being. It releases oxytocin, also known as the love hormone, which helps build trust and bonding
The concept of vehicles that can drive themselves has long been a dream for both robotics researchers and the automotive industry. While significant progress has been made in this field, the deployment of autonomous vehicles is still limited to certain environments. Recently, researchers have been focusing on the development of automated valet parking (AVP) systems,
Professor Jeongho Kwak, a prominent figure in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at DGIST, has made significant strides in developing a cutting-edge learning model and resource optimization technology. This innovative technology aims to revolutionize 6G vision services by seamlessly combining accuracy and efficiency. 6G mobile vision services, such as augmented reality (AR)
OpenAI has recently introduced a voice-cloning tool named “Voice Engine” that is designed to replicate speech patterns based on a short audio sample. While the technology has the potential to revolutionize various industries, including entertainment and education, the company is taking a cautious approach to its release due to the significant risks associated with the
Extending the number of years spent in school not only provides individuals with a better education but also has been linked to living longer and experiencing less cell damage, according to a recent study analyzing data from 3,101 individuals spanning three generations. While the general consensus is that increased education leads to an extended lifespan,
Climate change is a pressing issue that is causing significant changes in weather patterns around the globe. One of the most concerning consequences of climate change is the impact it has on heat waves. A recent study has found that giant heat waves are now moving slower across the planet, exposing more people to higher
