It's been a long time since Alice Charton got a good look at a human face. There are plenty of people moving through her world, of course—her husband, her friends, her doctors, her neighbors—but ...

Engineers and researchers are assembling the technical groundwork for manufacturing semiconductor materials on the Moon, ...

Innovative tool for producing computer chips uses giant, nearly perfect mirrors to make tiny transistors and circuits.

Current copper wiring in computer chips struggles to carry electricity efficiently as circuits shrink to the nanoscale, leading to a process that generates heat and limits performance. These materials ...

A new computer chip inspired by the human brain could fix some of the biggest problems with artificial intelligence. The system – built around a “memristor” that mimics the way that neurons are ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

UNSW Sydney nano-tech startup Diraq has shown its quantum chips aren’t just lab-perfect prototypes – they also hold up in real-world production, maintaining the 99% accuracy needed to make quantum ...

A recent archaeological discovery suggests a major cultural milestone: the onset of naturalistic depictions of people with animals around 12,000 years ago, almost three thousand years earlier than ...

European carmakers and parts suppliers have warned of shortages of key chips supplied by Nexperia that would force stoppages at production lines in Europe - Copyright ...

The chip that works this optical magic is not much to see. Under a powerful microscope attached to a computer at the Science headquarters, it resembles an oversize circuit board. To the naked eye, it ...
