Artificial intelligence is great at doing specific tasks. But AI algorithms tend to be inflexible, not able to pick up new jobs without extensive re-refinement. The AirLab team at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute has used PSC’s Bridges-2 system to develop a series of approaches that can allow a robot to pick up new capabilities […]

UIUC Researchers Redefine Size Limits in Quantum Tech with Miniaturized Quadrupole Topological Insulators

In 2018, Illinois researchers were among the first to experimentally demonstrate a new phase of matter called a quadrupole topological insulator — a unique species of material that can lend a helping hand in the search for new quantum technologies. Now, several years after the initial discovery, they and collaborators in Germany have successfully downsized […]

Overcoming Barriers in Carbon Capture: Advanced Supercomputing Addressing CLR’s Bubbling Issue

Bubbles could block a promising technology that would separate carbon dioxide from industrial emissions, capturing the greenhouse gas before it contributes to climate change. A team of researchers with backing from the Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project (ECP) is out to burst the barrier, using a code that captures the floating blisters and provides […]

Despite their immense promise to solve new kinds of problems, today’s quantum computers are inherently prone to error. A small perturbation in their surrounding environment— a change in temperature, pressure, or magnetic field, for instance—can disrupt their fragile computational building blocks, called qubits. The post ‘Noise-Cancelling’ Qubits Developed at Uchicago to Minimize Errors in Quantum […]

Supercomputer Simulations Explain Life-Critical Protein in the Brain

iGlu-R protein

The fourth most common neurological disorder in the world is epilepsy, according to the Epilepsy Foundation. Individuals who have the disorder experience surges of electrical activity in their brains that can cause recurring seizures. At the base of those electrical signals is a protein called the ionotropic glutamate receptor (iGluR). Problems with this protein cause […]

As scientists look to the future of energy production, renewable resources remain one of the most important areas of study. By their very nature, resources like coal and oil will eventually run out. There are also extreme environmental impacts involved with every step of production when using fossil energy sources. Researchers from Cornell University recently […]
