The deepest hole ever dug by humans reached just over seven and a half miles into the planet — less than 1/1000th of the Earth’s nearly 8,000-mile diameter. Understanding the composition of our planet is, therefore, a challenging proposition that predominantly relies on the extrapolation of proxy metrics. Prominent among these metrics are seismic waves, […]

For scientists, data is the lifeblood of research. Collecting, organizing and sharing data both within and across fields drives pivotal discoveries that make us better off and more secure. Making data open and available, however, only answers part of the question about how different scientists — often with very different training — can draw useful conclusions from the same […]

When Tony Stark needs to travel to space in the original Iron Man movie, he asks his artificial intelligence (AI) assistant J.A.R.V.I.S. to make a suit that can survive harsh conditions. As AI specialist Kamal Choudhary explains: “The way I see it, what J.A.R.V.I.S. did is, it had a database of materials, scanned the database, […]

The Robot Report attended the 2022 World Ag Expo in Tulare, California. The annual event is affectionately known locally as the “Farm Show,” and offers agriculture-related vendors the opportunity to demonstrate their solutions to prospective buyers. The event is so popular that the local schools in Tulare, Calif. close down on Wednesday during the show […]

As climate change continues to accelerate, many scientists are increasingly worried that the world will not be able to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels quickly enough to meaningfully avert worst-case scenarios. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, which would remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it have been hotly discussed and prototyped […]

Researchers at Shenyang University of Technology and the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo are trying to figure out how to make prosthetic hands respond to arm movements. The post Researchers create new learning model for prosthetic limbs appeared first on The Robot Report.

EOSC-Nordic, the Nordic and Baltic coordinator of the European Open Science Cloud is running calculations on the new pre-exascale supercomputer, LUMI, through one of the chosen Norwegian pilot projects for the new HPC system in Finland. The post LUMI Supercomputer Aids in Nordic Climate Modeling appeared first on HPCwire.

Melexis announced Tactaxis, a fully integrated tactile sensor. The company said the sensor can provide robots with a sense of touch. The post New tactile sensor helps robots handle delicate objects appeared first on The Robot Report.

It’s no secret that finding and correcting errors in modern computer chips is an ever-growing problem. An article published this week in the New York Times (NYT) – Tiny Chips, Big Headaches – suggests the challenge is reaching critical proportion. While not especially technical, the NYT piece includes comments from chip players and cites papers by […]

Duke University and IonQ researchers today reported developing a powerful new approach to executing multi-qubit entanglement gates that “can dramatically simplify quantum circuit structures, speed up their execution, and extend the power of quantum computer systems facing decoherence.” The post IonQ, Duke Report Multi-Qubit Gate Advance for Quantum Computing appeared first on HPCwire.
