Researchers use artificial neural networks to streamline testing graphene composites

Researchers have designed a machine learning system employing artificial neural networks (ANN) capable of extrapolating from data derived from just one sample, thereby quickly formulating and providing analytics on theoretical graphene-enhanced advanced composites.

Precious metal tracks nanoplastics

Researchers have incorporated the precious metal palladium as a tracer in artificial nanoplastics. This innovative method has great potential for keeping track of the behaviour of nanoplastics in technical systems as well as in environmental situations.

Nano-infused ceramic could report on its own health

Simulations show unique ceramic could act as a sensor for structures.

Observing hydrogen's effects in metal

Microscopy technique could help researchers design safer reactor vessels or hydrogen storage tanks.

Learning transistor mimics the brain

This new transistor has the ability to learn, and is equipped with both short-term and long-term memory. The work is a major step on the way to creating technology that mimics the human brain.

Data-transmitting light signal gets power boost from nanosized amplifier

An international team of researchers has significantly improved the propagation of data inside a microchip.

Experiments verify the phenomenon of a photonic hook

Scientists have experimentally proved an earlier predicted effect of 'photonic hook' that is a new type of curved self-accelerating light beam shaped like a hook. The ease of generation and physical properties make it promising for use in super-resolution microscopes, for the creation of biosensors and biological research where the control of molecules is needed.
