Facebook Waited Too Long To Stop 10 Billion Pageviewsof Repeat Misinformation Spreaders
Facebook could have prevented more than 10bn pageviews of prominent misinformation-spreading accounts in the US if it had acted sooner in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election, a new report has claimed [Editor's note: the link may be paywalled.....»»
Enhanced ceramics could play pivotal role in advancing 5G technology
5G, or the fifth-generation technology standard for broadband cellular networks, is touted as having finally arrived for ultrafast download speeds, an end to dropped calls and buffering, and greater connectivity to advance autonomous vehicle developm.....»»
High-efficiency pulse compression established on solitons in nonlinear Kerr resonators
Generating intense ultrashort pulses with high spatial quality has opened up possibilities for ultrafast and strong-field science. It is so important that the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 was given to Dr. Strickland and Dr. Mourou for inventing a tech.....»»
Ultrafast intra-atom motion tracked using synchrotron radiation
Scientists in Japan have observed and interfered with the ultrafast motion of electron movement inside of a Xenon atom using the coherent pairs of short light waves in synchrotron radiation. Xenon, consisting of a nucleus surrounded by five nested sh.....»»
Officials: A dam in Oregon could fail in a large earthquake
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has determined that a large earthquake—which is expected to occur again in the Pacific Northwest sooner or later—could cause the spillway gates of a dam in Oregon to buckle, resulting "in a potentially catastrophi.....»»
Microscope allows ultrafast nanoscale manipulation while tracking energy dynamics
Since the early 2010s, ultrafast probing of materials at atomic-level resolution has been enabled by terahertz scanning tunneling microscopes (THz-STM). But these devices can't detect the dissipation of energy that happens during events such as when.....»»
Breakthrough greatly enhances ultrafast resolution achievable with X-ray free-electron lasers
A large international team of scientists from various research organizations, including the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, has developed a method that dramatically improves the already ultrafast time resolution achieva.....»»
How the trap-jaw ant got its ultrafast bite
Powerful and deadly, the bite of a trap-jaw ant is renowned throughout the animal kingdom. Unlike normal gripping jaws, which rely on muscles to open and close, the trap-jaw latches itself open, storing energy like a stretched spring. When released,.....»»
Through the looking glass: Artificial molecules open door to ultrafast polaritonic devices
Researchers from Skoltech and the University of Cambridge have shown that polaritons, the quirky particles that may end up running the quantum supercomputers of the future, can form structures behaving like molecules—and these "artificial molecules.....»»
Scientists develop laser system that generates random numbers at ultrafast speeds
An international team of scientists has developed a system that can generate random numbers over a hundred times faster than current technologies, paving the way towards faster, cheaper, and more secure data encryption in today's digitally connected.....»»
High-resolution, terahertz-driven atom probe tomography
Materials scientists must be able to exert ultrafast control of matter using a strong electromagnetic field on the atomic scale to understand the ionization dynamics and excitations in solids. Researchers can couple picosecond duration terahertz puls.....»»
Ultrafast electron dynamics in space and time
Often depicted as colorful balloons or clouds, electron orbitals provide information on the whereabouts of electrons in molecules, a bit like fuzzy snapshots. In order to understand the exchange of electrons in chemical reactions, it is not only impo.....»»
New advances using exotic matter may lead to ultrafast computing
In the 196zeroes, an exotic phase of matter known as an excitonic insulator was proposed. Decades later, evidence for this phase was found in real materials. Recently, particular attention has centered on Ta2NiSe5 because an excitonic insulator phase.....»»
Dual character of excitons in the ultrafast regime: Atomic-like or solid-like?
Excitons are quasiparticles which can transport energy through solid substances. This makes them important for the development of future materials and devices—but more research is needed to understand their fundamental behavior and how to manipulat.....»»
Electron refrigerator: Ultrafast cooling mechanism discovered in novel plasma
Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter" have achieved a breakthrough—creating a completely new type of plasma by combining state-of-the-art technologies using ultrashort laser pulses and ultracold atomic gases......»»
The future of work: Coming sooner than you think
What will your worklife be like years from now? Today's work-from-home world has given us a glimpse of the future, as these five articles from CIO, Computerworld, CSO, InfoWorld, and Network World illustrate......»»
Gillmor Gang: In My Room
No sooner did we start developing a newsletter, the newsletter industry exploded. Twitter jumped in with a purchase of Revue, Facebook was rumored to be investigating the platform, and each new day brought further experiments. You could blame it on t.....»»
The real shock of the GameStop mania was that it didn"t happen sooner
This week, the investing world looked on with a mix of admiration and horror as members of a Reddit forum devoted to stock trading collectively sent shares of a seemingly moribund company through the roof......»»
EV charging firm FreeWire closes $50 million funding round
Six-year-old FreeWire’s products are used to charge EVs and power events and construction sites. It plans to have more than 2,500 ultrafast charging stations by 2025......»»
