From disorder to order: Flocking birds and 'spinning' particles

Quantum Physics News

26 April 2024

Researchers have demonstrated that ferromagnetism, an ordered state of atoms, can be induced by increasing particle motility and that repulsive forces between atoms are sufficient to maintain it. The discovery not only extends the concept of active matter to quantum systems but also contributes to...

Optical barcodes expand range of high-resolution sensor

Whether you're trying to predict a climate catastrophe or mental health crisis, mathematics tells us to look for fluctuations....

High-precision blood glucose level prediction achieved by few-molecule reservoir computing

Nanotechnology News

26 April 2024

A collaborative research team from NIMS and Tokyo University of Science has successfully developed an artificial intelligence (AI) device that executes brain-like information processing through few-molecule reservoir computing. This innovation utilizes the molecular vibrations of a select number of...

Enhancing memory technology: Multiferroic nanodots for low-power magnetic storage

Nanotechnology News

26 April 2024

Traditional memory devices are volatile and the current non-volatile ones rely on either ferromagnetic or ferroelectric materials for data storage. In ferromagnetic devices, data is written or stored by aligning magnetic moments, while in ferroelectric devices, data storage relies on the alignment...
