The exceptional electronic properties of carbon nanotubes, coupled with their small size, makes them ideal materials for future nanoelectronic devices. The integration of these materials into advanced microprocessors requires a radical shift in fabrication from conventional top-down process to bottom-up assembly where advances in sorting and directed assembly are needed. This presentation will briefly describe the challenges to future transistor scaling, highlight the advantages of employing carbon nanotubes for digital logic and describe the recent progress in this area.
In a world first, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison materials engineers have created carbon nanotube transistors that outperform state-of-the-art silicon transistors.
A big milestone for nanotechnology, this breakthrough could enable longer battery life, faster wireless communication and faster processing speeds for devices like smartphones and laptops.
A planet the same size as Jupiter has been found around a surprisingly small red dwarf star about 285 light-years from our solar system. The gas giant is so large, relative to its host star, that it threatens to up-end long-held theories about how giant planets form.
It’s pretty well known that usually two sexes have to be involved for reproduction, but a team of scientists in Japan might have just blown that assumption out of the water. Led by Katsuhiko Hayashi, a professor of genome biology at Osaka University in Japan, the team have been able to create mice with parents who are both biologically male.
• Improves glucose metabolism by reducing levels of blood glucose.
• Increases gastrointestinal mannitol production through the consumption of glucose and fructose. Mannitol is an osmoprotectant and prevents the aggregation of harmful proteins.
Hi guys! Over the last 2 months, I created a programmable 8-bit computer with just redstone. This was an insane project, and I’m super happy with how it turned out!

“Brian Cox — Alien Civilizations Decoded,” a captivating journey into the world of extraterrestrial life and our quest to find it. In this riveting video, renowned physicist Brian Cox discusses the implications of making contact with alien civilizations and the role of artificial intelligence in this extraordinary search.
We will explore the various methods scientists use to search for intelligent life beyond our planet, including scanning the skies for radio signals and examining exoplanets for potential habitability. With the recent introduction of AI, researchers have experienced a breakthrough, detecting over 20,000 signals of interest and igniting a renewed passion for finding alien technosignatures.
Join us as we delve into the possibilities of what alien life forms might look like, drawing from our understanding of biology and the conditions necessary for life. We will consider the challenges of communicating with these potential extraterrestrial beings, as well as the ethical questions that may arise from establishing contact.
As we take a closer look at the famous Wow signal and ponder the types of alien signals we might detect, Brian Cox will share his insights on deciphering and interpreting these messages. The monumental task of understanding an alien language could reshape our understanding of the cosmos and challenge our cultural and religious beliefs.
Nothing quite excites the imagination like pondering on the future.
And not only is science fiction great for exploring ideas surrounding the future, but it is also a great avenue for exploring other realities, such as post-apocalypses, zombie takeovers, and alien invasions.
