A new Oxford study shows how physicists made light emerge from “nothing,” offering rare insight into the hidden energy of empty space.

After broadcasting became reliant on wider bandwidth vacuum tubes, their application in particle accelerators turned into a small market for high-power klystrons.

First Generation Computers The first generation of computers marked a significant milestone in technological history. These computers relied on vacuum tubes to regulate the flow of electricity within ...

CSIRAC, Australia’s first computer, is celebrating its 75th anniversary this month and one of the original staff on the system, Professor Peter Thorne took time to share some of its achievements with ...

Every computing device produces heat in proportion to the electricity it consumes. ENIAC, one of the first room-sized behemoths of the 1940s, used 174 kilowatts to run its vacuum tubes; these days ...

The second generation saw the use of transistors instead of vacuum tubes, which were smaller, faster, cheaper, and more reliable. Examples include IBM 1401, CDC 1604, and Honeywell 400.

Experiments at LIGO have shown that inside a nearly-molecule-free vacuum, photons can travel for thousands of kilometers. Inspired by this technology, Jiang, Huang, and their colleagues began to ...

First-of-its-kind randomized controlled trial comparing computer assisted vacuum thrombectomy (CAVT) using Penumbra's Lightning Flash™ with anticoagulation versus anticoagulation alone Penumbra ...
