New Light-Extracting Structure Could Boost Quantum Device Performance
This simple, low-cost structure boosts light output from solid-state quantum materials like diamond without damaging their surface, a common issue with current light-extraction methods that reduces performance.

Electrohydrodynamic Inkjet Printing
UW-Madison industrial engineers have developed a new EHD inkjet printing device with a groundless printhead. The system can be made modular such that the printhead can be used with existing printers.

Computer Architecture Using Program Counter Indexed Data Address Translation
This non-traditional approach to memory address translation relies on using the identity of an instruction (the instruction PC), and not on the actual data address, to obtain a page table entry for the data address that is expected to be accessed by the instruction.

Eulerian Single-Photon Computer Vision
These computationally light-weight phase-based techniques for low-level vision tasks such as edge detection and motion estimation extract scene information directly from binary quanta samples while avoiding the memory and compute-intensive intermediate step of image reconstruction.
