Building inclusive education systems will be key to ensuring no one is left behind and that advances in AI and robotics benefit everyone in society.
Technology
Inversely designing new materials for natural gas separation
A new machine learning strategy searches for desirable materials properties rather than building blocks, which researchers hope will lead to better materials to help spark a green economy.
An affordable, quantum‐limit‐approaching sensing chip for trace chemical analysis
Study shows improvements to chemical sensing chip that aims to quickly and accurately identify drugs and other trace chemicals.
Researchers develop stable, high energy density supercapacitor
The Achilles heel of supercapacitors as energy storage devices, is gradually being overcome.
Sheets of carbon nanotubes come in a rainbow of colors
A new model helped researchers create a “nanotube color atlas”, which they use to predict the specific colors of 466 different single‐wall carbon nanotubes, revealing a broad spectrum of potentially achievable colors.
Magnetic bacteria for drug delivery
Bacteria controlled by magnets could one day deliver medicine directly to the cells that need it.
Detecting gamma rays with giant perovskite crystals
The process of detecting gamma rays causes serious damage to those detectors. Researchers have developed a large, self-healing crystal that might help to solve this problem.
Artificial chemist 2.0
AI and robotics meet fluidics to accelerate materials development, allowing researchers to create quantum dots in under an hour.
Quantum simulator poised to be major breakthrough in quantum technology
Researchers create a quantum nanochip that is capable of producing stable, high-quality qubits and could open doors for powerful quantum computers.
