International technology standards organization Object Management Group (OMG) announced V1.0 of the Anything-as-a-Service (XaaS) Glossary. The goal of the glossary is to eliminate confusion for end users about the suffix “as-a-service,” which has become a popular shorthand to describe solutions offered on a pay-as-you-go basis with elasticity and self-service procurement. The post Object Management Group […]
Quantum technologies, i.e. technological devices obtained by building and manipulating quantum mechanical systems, are becoming a reality. The most prominent example is given by quantum computers, where the unit of information, the bit, is replaced by its quantum mechanical counterpart, informally called the qubit. Contrary to classical computers, quantum computers promise to use the full […]
Researchers from RIKEN in Japan have achieved a major step toward large-scale quantum computing by demonstrating error correction in a three-qubit silicon-based quantum computing system. This work, published in Nature, could pave the way toward the achievement of practical quantum computers. The post Researchers Demonstrate Error Correction in a Silicon Qubit System appeared first on […]
Quantum computing promises to redefine the boundaries of computation and has also been touted as a potential game-changer in energy savings. The technology’s potential to enable new material discovery, improve EV batteries and solar cells, optimize logistic routes, all while consuming much less energy than traditional power-hungry supercomputers, paint a promising picture. However, as with […]
Five National Quantum Information Science Research Centers are leveraging the behavior of nature at the smallest scales to develop technologies for science’s most complex problems. Funded by the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, the NQISRCs have been supporting DOE’s mission since 2020 to advance the energy, economic and national security of the United States. […]
It is perhaps not surprising that the big cloud providers – a poor term really – have jumped into quantum computing. Amazon, Microsoft Azure, Google, and their like have steadily transformed into major technology developers, no doubt in service of their large cloud services offerings. The same is true internationally. You may not know, for […]
Verseon is an AI-powered drug company – in theory, anyway. The Bay Area startup does use machine learning to help predict which combination of molecules will yield novel compound to test in the lab. With over a dozen drug candidates at different stages of development, Verseon’s approach seems to be working. So when the company’s […]
NASA’s humanoid robot, Valkyrie, is starting a new mission in Australia. The robot will put its skills to the test as part of a reimbursable Space Act Agreement with Woodside Energy in Perth, Western Australia. The NASA dexterous robotics team from the Johnson Space Center in Houston traveled to the Woodside headquarters to deliver the […]
Qubits are the building blocks of quantum computers, which have the potential to revolutionize many fields of research by solving problems that classical computers can’t. But creating qubits that have the perfect quality necessary for quantum computing can be challenging.

When two metal surfaces slide against each other, a variety of complicated phenomena occur that lead to friction and wear: Small crystalline regions, of which metals are typically composed, can be deformed, twisted or broken, or even fuse together. It is important for industry to understand such effects. After all, wear can destroy machinery and […]
