Researchers propose repurposing phone processors – a big departure from consumer recycling – hoping to leave a notably smaller carbon footprint.
June 10, 2019
Nanoengineers at UC San Diego have developed new deep learning models that can accurately predict the properties of molecules and crystals. They can enable researchers to rapidly scan the nearly-infinite universe of compounds to discover potentially transformative materials for various applications.

…refraction, which can allow materials to have a unique response to electromagnetic waves. The use of antiferromagnetism, the phenomenon in which magnetic ions are aligned in an opposing nature, as opposed to parallel ferromagnetism, was a concept championed by Berkowitz as far back as the 1960s and was used in…
