World’s first LED lights developed from rice husks
Scientists from Hiroshima university created world’s first LED light by using rice husks and chemically obtained products. Milling rice to separate the grain from the husks produces about 100 million tons of…
Engineered crystals could help computers run on less power
Researchers have created engineered crystal structures that display an unusual physical phenomenon known as negative capacitance. Incorporating this material into advanced silicon transistors could make computers more energy efficient. Computers may be…
Deep learning to enable color vision in the dark
Scientists from the University of Irvine have developed a new system that combines artificial intelligence (AI) with an infrared camera to capture full-color photos even in complete darkness.
System helps severely motor-impaired individuals type more quickly and accurately
Researchers at MIT and elsewhere are developing a system that enables severely motor-impaired individuals who communicate using a single switch to do so faster and with more accuracy. Their system is more…
