AI-powered approach simplifies exploration of complex materials
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have introduced a powerful new method for investigating the atomic-level behavior of materials by combining Bayesian deep learning—a fusion of probability theory and neural networks—with advanced data analysis. This approach enables scientists to rapidly and accurately process complex datasets, allowing them to scan broader sample areas and identify regions […]
Breakthrough phason discovery in twisted 2D materials transforms quantum computing
Scientists have directly imaged a rare atomic vibration known as a phason—a phenomenon long theorized but never observed—within a twisted two-dimensional material called tungsten diselenide. These ultra-thin materials, just a few atoms thick, can be stacked in unusual configurations that produce entirely new physical behaviors. Using a cutting-edge technique called electron ptychography, researchers captured the […]
Ilika and Cirtec advance miniaturized medical implants
Cirtec Medical, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota announced a collaborative approach with Ilika, Southampton, United Kingdom, combining application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology with solid-state battery (SSB) innovation to power the next generation of active implantable medical devices (AIMDs). The integration aims to enable compact, rechargeable, and efficient implants for applications such as neuromodulation and cardiac sensing. The […]
Johnson Matthey to open first hydrogen internal combustion engine testing facility in Gothenburg
Johnson Matthey, London, England announced plans to open its first hydrogen internal combustion engine (H₂ICE) testing facility at its existing site in Gothenburg, Sweden. The upgraded center will expand the company’s heavy-duty vehicle testing capabilities, reflecting growing industry and regulatory momentum toward cleaner mobility technologies. The facility is expected to become operational in autumn 2025. […]
