The maker of Angry Birds video games has agreed to be bought by the Japanese gaming giant behind the Sonic the Hedgehog character.

Researchers identify factors affecting the quality of edible materials produced by additive manufacturing.

Researchers have achieved a breakthrough to enable ‘perfectly secure’ hidden communications for the first time.
The method uses new advances in information theory methods to conceal one piece of content inside another in a way that cannot be detected.
This may have strong implications for information security, besides further applications in data compression and storage.

HRL Laboratories, LLC, has published the first demonstration of universal control of encoded spin qubits. This newly emerging approach to quantum computation uses a novel silicon-based qubit device architecture, fabricated in HRL’s Malibu cleanroom, to trap single electrons in quantum dots. Spins of three such single electrons host energy-degenerate qubit states, which are controlled by nearest-neighbor contact interactions that partially swap spin states with those of their neighbors.

The device could help workers locate objects for fulfilling e-commerce orders or identify parts for assembling products.

A natural language model has jumpstarted the process of protein design by creating active enzymes.

By illuminating a sample surface with short laser beam pulses, it is possible to film sequences of various chemical and physical reactions. A research team that included researchers from the University of Gothenburg has now developed the world’s fastest single-shot laser camera, which is at least a thousand times faster than today’s most modern equipment for combustion diagnostics. The discovery has enormous significance for studying the lightning-fast combustion of hydrocarbons.

Artificial skin, also known as synthetic skin, is a man-made material that is designed to mimic the properties and functions of human skin. It is used in a variety of applications, including wound healing, cosmetic surgery, and skin research.

A new smart contact lens has been developed that can provide navigation information through augmented reality. The lens is attached to the human eye like a normal contact lens and uses a 3D printing process for its core technology.

The first-of-a-kind demonstration indicates that a greener future for the electronics sector is possible.
