Light is usually treated as something simple, a clean beam that either shines or does not. At the quantum level, however, ...

Interposers are effectively platforms on which multiple components can be assembled — like a micro-sized PCB. The primary material today is silicon, and their sizes, even when built on older process ...

Researchers have uncovered a method to purify a photon stream that is central to quantum circuitry. University of Iowa ...

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction, making them essential for tasks like rectification, ...

Every day, your brain makes thousands of decisions under uncertainty. Most of the time, you guess right. When you don't, you learn. But when the brain's ability to judge context or assign meaning ...

I’ve designed four kitchens in my life, each one reflecting a different chapter in both my style and cooking needs. From my first post-grad two-up, two-down house to our current family home, to which ...

Every illusion has a backstage crew. New research shows the brain’s own “puppet strings”—special neurons that quietly tug our perception—help us see edges and shapes that don’t actually exist. When ...

This study provides an important understanding of the contribution of different striatal subregions, the anterior Dorsal Lateral Striatum (aDLS) and the posterior Ventrolateral Striatum (pVLS), to ...

Scientists at the University of California, Davis have developed a new drug related to LSD that retains the psychedelic’s beneficial brain effects while minimizing the hallucinogenic experience. The ...

Abstract: The low-light performance of image sensors can be enhanced by designing high-effective conversion gain signal paths from photon conversion sites to chip outputs. This can be achieved by ...
