It can take years of focused laboratory work to determine how to make the highest quality materials for use in electronic and photonic devices. Researchers have now developed an autonomous system that can identify how to synthesize “best-in-class” materials for specific applications in hours or days.

The new system, called SmartDope, was developed to address a longstanding challenge regarding enhancing properties of materials called perovskite quantum dots via “doping.”

“These doped quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals that you have introduced specific impurities to in a targeted way, which alters their optical and physicochemical properties,” explains Milad Abolhasani, an associate professor of chemical engineering at North Carolina State University and corresponding author of the paper “Smart Dope: A Self-Driving Fluidic Lab for Accelerated Development of Doped Perovskite Quantum Dots,” published open access in the journal Advanced Energy Materials.

I have an intriguing and important question regarding AI for you.

Research reveals that using emotional wording in your prompts will get generative AI to showcase better results. Here’s why, plus how to benefit from it.

As the dawn of generative AI unfolds, a distinct separation will emerge among professionals and businesses: those who leverage this transformative technology to enhance productivity and innovation and those who lag behind.

Discover how adopting a generative AI mindset, blending adaptability, curiosity, and collaboration, is key to thriving in the rapidly evolving professional landscape,.

Modern-day information technology systems are well known for producing large amounts of heat. Heat reduction is a more efficient way of using energy and will also help the world reduce carbon emissions, as it aims to go greener in the coming few decades. To minimize this unwanted heat, one must go to the root of the problem, the von Neumann architecture.

The impact of the research goes well beyond astronomy and can help increase accuracy of climate models as well.

It is common knowledge that the Earth’s rotational axis is not entirely symmetric due to the shape of our planet. However, even the speeds at which the Earth spins are not constant. This is because out world is not completely solid and consists of solid and liquid components.
