High-quality nanomechanical resonators with built-in piezoelectricity
This development could open doors to new possibilities in quantum sensing technologiesMechanical resonators have been used for centuries for a multitude of applications. A key aspect of these devices is their ability to vibrate at specific frequencies. A well-known example is the...
Weather radiosonde can find its way back
A new type of radiosonde that can automatically fly back to a predetermined spotIt’s standard practice in many countries to launch radiosondes carried by weather balloons twice a day. These instruments climb for two hours towards the stratosphere, collecting data on wind...
MintNeuro raises £1m for brain implant
MintNeuro has raised £1m (€1.2m $1.3m) venture funding for its semiconductor-based brain implant.MintNeuro uses a reconfigurable chip, described as smaller than a peppercorn, rather than graphene to make neural implants in the brain smaller, more efficient, and scalable. With over £14m in...
