Possible ‘topological superconductor’ could overcome industry’s problem of quantum decoherence.
MEMS
A Field of Sensor Dreams
TERRA-REF aims to transform plant breeding by using remote sensing to quantify plant traits such as plant architecture, carbon uptake, tissue chemistry, water use and other features to predict the yield potential and stress resistance of 400+ diverse sorghum lines.
Smart Tech, Innovation, Industry Future in Spotlight at SEMICON Taiwan 2019
Spanning the entire semiconductor and microelectronics supply chain – from design through systems – SEMICON Taiwan 2019 will gather the world’s top technologists, visionaries and innovators for insights into the latest trends and opportunities across smart vertical markets including manufacturing, automotive, healthcare and data.
Tiny Vibration-Powered Robots Are the Size of the World’s Smallest Ant
Researchers have created a new type of tiny 3D-printed robot that moves by harnessing vibration from piezoelectric actuators, ultrasound sources or even tiny speakers. Swarms of these “micro-bristle-bots” might work together to sense environmental changes, move materials – or perhaps one day repair injuries inside the human body.
