The root of the team’s approach is multilevel modeling (MLM, not to be confused with multilevel marketing). Through MLM, groups of similar cases are bundled and differential equations are used to identify a limited set of controlling factors for each case, allowing for easier – and more consistent – identification of the model’s reasoning compared […]
A study by chemists at the University of Chicago has uncovered a new key step in the process that HIV uses to replicate itself. The post Tiny Ion Is Crucial for HIV Replication: Supercomputer Simulation Explains How Viruses Form Capsids appeared first on HPCwire.
Quantum sensing represents one of the most promising applications of quantum technologies, with the aim of using quantum resources to improve measurement sensitivity. In particular, sensing of optical phases is one of the most investigated problems, considered key to developing mass-produced technological devices. The post Deep Learning for Quantum Sensing: AI Assists Quantum Metrology for […]
Excitons are drawing attention as possible quantum bits (qubits) in tomorrow’s quantum computers and are central to optoelectronics and energy-harvesting processes. However, these charge-neutral quasiparticles, which exist in semiconductors and other materials, are notoriously difficult to confine and manipulate. Now, for the first time, researchers have created and directly observed highly localized excitons confined in […]
On December 5th, the research team at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) achieved a historic win in energy science: for the first time ever, more energy was produced by an artificial fusion reaction than was consumed – 3.15 megajoules (MJ) produced versus 2.05 megajoules in laser energy to cause […]
Quantum devices are becoming ever more complex and powerful. Researchers at the University of Innsbruck, in collaboration with the Johannes Kepler University Linz and the University of Technology Sydney, are now presenting a method to characterize even large quantum computers using only a single measurement setting. The post Researchers Discover New Method to Characterize Large […]
Scientists are searching for new materials to advance the next generation of nuclear power plants. In a recent study, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory showed how artificial intelligence could help pinpoint the right types of molten salts, a key component for advanced nuclear reactors. The post Hot Salt, Clean Energy: How […]
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) used resources, including Bridges-2, supplied by the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) and allocated through ACCESS to train artificial intelligence to predict the mass of the Coma Cluster of galaxies. By feeding the AI all the known information about the Coma Cluster and teaching it to predict mass, CMU scientists […]
Humans see the world around them because light is being absorbed by specialized cells in the retina. But can vision happen without any absorption at all – without even a single particle of light? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. The post Researchers Use Quantum Mechanics to See Objects Without Looking at Them appeared first on […]
Nuclear physicists have found a new way to use the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a particle collider at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory—to see the shape and details inside atomic nuclei. The method relies on particles of light that surround gold ions as they speed around the collider and a new type […]
