Monitoring and measuring forest ecosystems are complex challenges because software, collection systems and computing environments require increasing amounts of energy. Now, the University of Maine’s Wireless Sensor Networks laboratory, or WiSe-Net, has developed a novel method of using artificial intelligence and machine learning to monitor soil moisture with less energy and cost. The method could […]

If you look at the Milky Way from “above,” it almost looks like a cat’s eye: a circle of spiral arms with an oval “iris” in the middle. That iris — a starry bar that connects the spiral arms — has two strange bulges: one peanut-shaped and one disc-shaped, neither conforming to the otherwise pleasingly […]

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have recently demonstrated an automated process for identifying and exploring promising new materials by combining machine learning (ML) — a type of artificial intelligence — and high performance computing. The new approach could help accelerate the discovery and design of useful materials. Source: Savannah […]

Research into quantum engineering may provide a number of significant advancements in sensor technology, but optical loss and signal noise have – until recently – held these applications back. In “Realistic model of entanglement-enhanced sensing in optical fibers” published in Optics Express earlier this year, the Optics and Photonics Research Group at CU Boulder and their partners predict […]

Several months into the COVID-19 pandemic, those outside the biomedical community were reminded of a term many likely had not heard since their biology courses in their teenage years: messenger RNA, or mRNA. mRNA is normally involved in transcribing and translating the important genetic information contained in DNA to produce proteins—the key class of molecules […]

The past several years have been an exciting time in quantum computing. Billions of dollars have been invested, and there’s no shortage of advocates and detractors. Activity and momentum across the quantum community continue to grow. For proof, there have been a lot of recent headlines about increased qubit counts, commercially viable systems, roadmaps and […]

For all of its politeness, a fascinating panel on the last day of SC22 – Quantum Computing: A Future for HPC Acceleration? – mostly served to illustrate the wariness of quantum computing felt by significant portions of the HPC community and the enthusiasm felt by those directly involved in quantum computing development. The post Quantum […]

Researchers at Penn Engineering have created a chip that outstrips the security and robustness of existing quantum communications hardware. Their technology communicates in “qudits,” doubling the quantum information space of any previous on-chip laser.

The Sun is much more than just a source of light for Earth – it’s a dynamic and complex star, with storms, flares, and movement causing it to change constantly. Magnetic fields govern most of the solar activity we can observe but how they do this is still poorly understood. New results based on simulations […]
