Negative capacitance has positive effect on computer energy

Materials Today: Computers may be growing smaller and more powerful, but they require a great deal of energy to operate. The total amount of energy the US dedicates to computing has risen dramatically over the past decade and is quickly approaching…

Silicon spin qubits manufactured on an industrial scale

Physics World: Researchers in the Netherlands and the US have shown for the first time that qubits – the building blocks of quantum computers – can be mass-produced using standard processes developed for manufacturing conventional integrated circuits. The breakthrough paves the…

Extended Viewing with Glasses-Free 3D

Physics: Watching a superhero film in an immersive 3D format seems like a thoroughly modern experience. But in reality, 3D glasses have been around since the mid-1800s. The technology has constantly improved over its 150 years of existence, but it may finally be mature enough to lose the funky…
