Research Bits: Sept. 17
By Jesse Allen - 17 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

DNA data storage plus compute Researchers from North Carolina State University and Johns Hopkins University created a DNA-based device that can perform both data storage and computing functions. “Specifically, we have created polymer structures that we call dendricolloids – they start at the microscale, but branch off from each other in a hierarchical way to create a network of nanoscal... » read more

Superconductor breakthrough — palladium Palladium may be a better superconductor than even nickelates (superconductors based on nickel), according to research by TU Wien working with Japanese universities. The research shows that palladates may be a ‘Goldilocks material’ in which it can continue its superconducting state at a higher temperature. "Palladium is directly one line below n... » read more

Are Better Machine Training Approaches Ahead?
By Bryon Moyer - 01 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 1

We live in a time of unparalleled use of machine learning (ML), but it relies on one approach to training the models that are implemented in artificial neural networks (ANNs) — so named because they’re not neuromorphic. But other training approaches, some of which are more biomimetic than others, are being developed. The big question remains whether any of them will become commercially viab... » read more
