In the realm of wireless communication, autonomous vehicles, surveillance, and tracking systems, the performance of fractional-N phase locked loops (PLLs) plays a critical role. The presence of unwanted signals known as fractional spurs has long been a challenge in many modern radar systems and wireless transceivers. These issues have spurred scientists from Tokyo Tech to
Bananas are a widely consumed and beloved fruit around the world, but what if their peels could be the key to combating the ongoing plastic waste crisis? Srinivas Janaswamy, an associate professor of food chemistry at South Dakota State University, conducted a study on “Biodegradable packaging films from banana peel fiber,” which was published in
Catalysts play a crucial role in the chemical industry, with over 90% of processes relying on these substances for their efficiency. Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), Harvard Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology, and Utrecht University have delved into a previously elusive method of improving the
Chemical synthesis plays a crucial role in the development of various products, from medicines to high-performance materials. Traditional synthesis methods involve the use of organic solvents, metal catalysts, and reagents that often result in waste and environmental harm. However, researchers from the University of Regensburg have introduced a game-changing approach to chemical synthesis that eliminates
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) computing. A team of engineers has developed a chip that utilizes light waves instead of electricity to perform complex mathematical computations necessary for training AI systems. This revolutionary chip has the potential to achieve unprecedented processing speeds
The European Union’s landmark legislation, known as the Digital Services Act (DSA), aims to hold digital companies accountable for addressing illegal and problematic content. While the law has been in effect since August for very large platforms, it will now apply to all companies from Saturday, with some exemptions for smaller firms. To ensure compliance,
Mars, often considered a quiet and dusty planet, has a violent history that could provide insights into Earth’s own past. Recent findings from a survey of the Martian surface suggest that the planet was once covered in volcanoes, similar to Earth before the formation of tectonic plates. Planetary scientist Joseph Michalski and his team from
In recent months, a rare and potentially deadly virus called Alaskapox has been causing alarm among scientists and health professionals. While the virus was first identified in 2015, only a few cases have been diagnosed since then. These cases have generally been associated with mild symptoms such as joint and muscle pain, swollen lymph nodes,
Trace metals are essential nutrient elements required by both animals and plants in small quantities for proper physiological functions. While animals obtain these trace metals through their diets or environmental exposure, plants acquire them from the soil. However, an imbalance in trace metal levels can have detrimental effects on living organisms. Deficiencies can occur when
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a pressing global public health crisis, as many modern drugs have become ineffective against drug-resistant bacteria. In response to this urgent challenge, a team of researchers from Harvard University has developed a groundbreaking antibiotic that overcomes various mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. Led by Andrew Myers, a renowned professor of Chemistry
Advancements in materials science play a crucial role in addressing global priorities such as achieving Net Zero. Scientists are constantly striving to design and discover new materials that can revolutionize industries and contribute to a sustainable future. Among the key areas of focus is the development of high-performance solid-state electrolytes for rechargeable batteries. In a
The interior of black holes has long puzzled scientists, with its enigmatic properties challenging our understanding of the universe. In 1916, physicist Karl Schwarzschild proposed a solution to Albert Einstein’s general relativity equations, which described black holes as having a singularity at their center. This singularity represents a point where the laws of physics, including
The harrowing connection between air quality and mental health is a topic that has captivated researchers for years. Recent developments, however, shed a new light on this issue. A comprehensive study conducted in China not only confirms the link between air quality and suicide rates but also reveals the remarkable impact of pollution control efforts
The implementation of 5G networks has brought about various advancements and features, one of which is network slicing. Network slicing involves the segmentation of the network into logical divisions or slices based on specific requirements or requests. By allocating resources dynamically to different segments, network slicing aims to ensure optimal signal quality. However, the process
