Our brain has a lot to say and not only when we think, speak and move. 86 billion or so neurons contained within a 1.4 kg organ are in a constant state of firing, sending inputs, receiving outputs and integrating information from all over our bodies, to shape how we view and interact with the […]
The role played by batteries in improving the quality of our life is undeniable and this is exemplified by their ubiquitous presence in our surrounding, ranging from cell phones to electronic vehicles. In fact, the 2019 Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded to John Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino for their contributions in […]
Unlocking the full potential of quantum technologies in the future will require more than making quantum computers – we’ll also need ways to send and receive information reliably across quantum networks. Our classical computers encode information in bits – ones or zeroes – but a quantum computer stores information in qubits , which can be […]
It’s fascinating to see how dynamic solar cells can be on the micro and nanoscale, especially if you excite them with light or current! In my research, I use a very special family of microscopes called electron microscopes (SEMs, TEMs) which use electrons to see, instead of light. This allows us to see deep down […]
