Humans are incredibly data efficient, the recent breakthroughs in AI, are much less so.
It also makes it more practical to design unique architectures for parts that, for example, could help make automobiles and aircraft lighter and more fuel-efficient (See "10 Breakthrough Technologies 2013: Additive Manufacturing").
The replacement of silicon dioxide in all modern silicon-based transistors with halfnium oxide enabled faster and more energy-efficient transistors – a breakthrough that contributed to the materials revolution championed by companies like Intel, IBM and Global Foundries.
On the other hand, Fig. 1 also illustrates that AE & CM technologies are more cost efficient before considerable breakthroughs of PEM & BM take place.
Among the numerous benefits of such a breakthrough: more efficient use of land space, improved productivity, greater industry profitability and increased sustainability.
Ye, S. et al. A breakthrough efficiency of 19.9% obtained in inverted perovskite solar cells by using an efficient trap state passivator Cu(thiourea)I.
"These joint efforts offer the potential for substantial savings to member‐brokers and should provide new breakthroughs in efficient service to investors," said Robert W. Haack, the Big Board's president, and Ralph S. Saul, the president of the Amex, in a joint statement.
"There has been great progress in making transistor circuits more efficient, but further scientific breakthroughs will be needed to achieve the six-orders-of-magnitude further improvement that remain before we approach the theoretical limits of energy consumption". Researchers note that the wires of an electronic circuit could operate well on as little as a few millivolts.
This work is a breakthrough in the efficient design of phosphide-based non-Pt catalysts for electrochemical hydrogen production.
And at the heart of their hopes for a cultural and educational breakthrough were superbly efficient search engines like Google and those of its rivals Yahoo and MSN.
While human gene therapy has gained significant attention for its therapeutic promise, CRISPR/Cas9 technology has made a breakthrough as an efficient genome editing tool by emulating prokaryotic immune defense mechanisms.
