Researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME), Argonne National Laboratory, and the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia have developed a new computational tool to describe how the atoms within quantum materials behave when they absorb and emit light. The tool will be released as part of the open-source software […]
Room temperature quantum computing and sensing has long been an area an area of intense pursuit; if accomplished, it will simplify and expand quantum information science (QIS) applications. This week, a group of researchers from Japan report a breakthrough using exitons in a metal-organic framework. The post Researchers Report Advance in Achieving Room Temp Entanglement […]
From students and startups to the world of entertainment, interest in robots is everywhere these days. In visiting with roboticists of all types across the globe, Advanced Micro Devices found that successful robotics design generally comes down to three key considerations: Timing is everything, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and […]
Overprovisioning clusters is easy but comes at great expense. Installing systems that meet this demand are hard to optimize, scale, and manage on a day-to-day basis. As such, those undertaking such efforts must carefully plan for and address every step of the process – designing, building, deploying, and managing high-performance clusters for AI. The post […]
Modern robotics has come a long way since the 1960s. We’ve created robots accurate enough to work on a production line and safe enough to maneuver around a facility floor. The next frontier for them extends beyond factories and warehouses into rugged environments, especially in remote outdoor areas. In these locations, the robotics charging challenges […]
MIT engineers have developed a robotic replica of the heart’s right ventricle, which mimics the beating and blood-pumping action of live hearts. The robo-ventricle combines real heart tissue with synthetic, balloon-like artificial muscles that enable scientists to control the ventricle’s contractions while observing how its natural valves and other intricate structures function. The post MIT […]
Given the rapid uptake and untested effectiveness of AI technologies, HPCwire asked Steve Conway, senior analyst at Intersect360 Research, to comment on government attempts to regulate AI and what effect these might have on HPC. Conway has closely tracked AI progress for more than a decade. He has spoken and published widely on this topic, […]
When you push a button to open a garage door, it doesn’t open every garage door in the neighborhood; that’s because the opener and the door are communicating using a specific microwave frequency, a frequency no other nearby door is using. Researchers from the University of Chicago, the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National […]
The journey of robotics to establishing a presence in retail stores is a decade in the making. Progress has been slowed by people’s perceptions, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the complexity of problems to solve, as well as the fact that the industry has traditionally been slow to adopt new technologies. The post Retail robots are […]
This photograph of Neptune, one of the ice giant planets addressed in a paper recently published by researchers at UC Berkeley, was reconstructed from two images taken by NASA Voyager 2.
