Contact lenses bring 3D holograms to life for augmented reality
A better way to fabricate metasurfaces allows scientists to create contact lenses capable of projecting 3D holographic images.
Super-black material created from etched wood
This material absorbs more than 99% of the light that strikes it, making it useful in applications ranging from solar energy to astronomy.
3D printing goes “green” with microalgae ink
A search for environmentally friendly inks led researchers to microalgae biofactories, providing a renewable biomass solution.
The next big thing in tech could come from these tiny light absorbers
When the light absorbers are made very small, almost all the device performance metrics improve—but doing this is easier said than done.
AI lie detectors lead people to make more false accusations, study finds
Participants with lie-detecting AI were more likely to trust it, more readily agreeing when it falsely labeled something a lie.
New computer solves complex problems by physically mirroring the systems it’s trying to solve
An Ising machine built on lattice defects solves problems faster than conventional computers without the drawbacks of quantum systems.
