WASHINGTON — The Board of Directors of Optica, Advancing Optics and Photonics Worldwide, recently elected 121 members from 23 countries to the Society’s 2026 Fellow Class. Optica Fellows are selected ...

This conceptual illustration of a computer based on 2D molecules displays an actual scanning electron microscope image of the computer fabricated by a team by researchers at Penn State. The keyboard ...

Super Mario Bros. 2 is seen as the black sheep of Mario games series. Released in 1988 for the NES and in 1992 for Japan, some players were sure they had played it before. They’d be correct, as the ...

GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers. Later this year, Bitmap Bureau is revisiting the classic sci-fi action film Terminator 2: Judgment Day with a throwback side-scrolling game, ...

Summary: Researchers have uncovered how primate brains transform flat, 2D visual inputs into rich, 3D mental representations of objects. This process, dubbed “inverse graphics,” works by reversing the ...

Silicon has enabled advancements in semiconductor technology through miniaturization, but scaling challenges necessitate the exploration of new materials. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, with their ...

In the world of semiconductor technology, which forms the foundation of modern electronics, silicon (Si) is the most widely used material. The second most abundant element on Earth after oxygen, ...

In a world first, they used 2D materials, which are only an atom thick and retain their properties at scale, to develop a computer capable of similar operation. This represents a major milestone ...

A team led by two Indian American researchers at Pennsylvania State University have developed the world’s first two-dimensional (2D), non-silicon computer capable of simple operations. The development ...

In a bold challenge to silicon s long-held dominance in electronics, Penn State researchers have built the world s first working CMOS computer entirely from atom-thin 2D materials. Using molybdenum ...
