    A University of Minnesota Twin Cities team has, for the first time, synthesized a thin film of a unique topological semimetal material that has the potential to generate more computing power and memory storage while using significantly less energy. The researchers were also able to closely study the material, leading to some important findings about the physics behind its unique properties.

    The study is published in Nature Communications.

    As evidenced by the United States’ recent CHIPS and Science Act, there is a ...

    Thermal Cloak Passively keeps Electric Vehicles Cool in the Summer and Warm in the Winter

    July 13, 2023, Categories  Physics, Technology/Electronics


    •Scalable, passive, all-season temperature regulation through photon recycling
    •Daytime sub-ambient passive cooling by 8.0°C in summer
    •Nighttime supra-ambient passive warming by 6.8°C in winter
    •Fire retardant, reliable in thermal, cryogenic, vibration, and corrosive environments

    When an electric vehicle is parked outside, its temperature can swing wildly from day to night and season to season, which can lead to deterioration of the battery. To dampen these fluctuations and extend the battery’s lifespan, researchers have designed an all-season thermal cloak that can cool an electric vehicle by 8°C on a hot day and warm it by 6.8°C at night...

    Unveiling a groundbreaking and accurate AI-based method to classify cardiac function and disease using chest X-Rays. AI (artificial intelligence) may sound like a cold robotic system, but Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have shown that it can deliver heartwarming — or, more to the point, “heart-warning” — support. They unveiled an innovative use of AI that classifies cardiac functions and pinpoints valvular heart disease with unprecedented accuracy, demonstrating continued progress in merging the fields of medicine and technology to advance patient care. The results will be published in The Lancet Digital Health.

    Valvular hea...
