On March 1, 2002, European researchers looked to the sky as the Envisat satellite mission began. Envisat hosted nine instruments designed to gather information about the Earth’s atmosphere in unprecedented detail. The satellite continued to send data back to Earth until 2012, when European Space Agency (ESA) staff lost contact and declared an official end […]

Beyond the immediate investigations surrounding new variants and pharmaceuticals, the Covid-19 pandemic is raising the profile of another crucial, anxiety-inducing question: where will the next pandemic come from, and how can we be better-prepared? As Covid took hold, Artem Babaian—a researcher at the University of Cambridge—scoured enormous genomic datasets for viral fingerprints, leveraging vast cloud […]

Imagine a pizza maker working with a ball of dough. She might use a spatula to lift the dough onto a cutting board then use a rolling pin to flatten it into a circle. Easy, right? Not if this pizza maker is a robot. Editor’s Note: This article was republished from MIT News. The post […]

Once fully operational, LUMI is expected to be one of the world’s most efficient and environmentally friendly supercomputers. Launching LUMI is a multi-stage process: the operating environment expands as the system is commissioned. The post Multi-Phase Launch of LUMI Supercomputer Promising for Solving Intricate Research Challenges appeared first on HPCwire.

Almost 600 million Debs were downloaded from ROS (Robot Operating Software from Open Robotics) between July 2020 and July 2021, according ROS’ 2021 Metrics Report, a 50% increase from last year. The post ROS metrics show growing robotics community appeared first on The Robot Report.

The Ohio State University recently announced it is establishing the Center for Quantum Information Science and Engineering (CQISE), building on the momentum around a discipline with far-reaching economic and societal impacts.

The first-ever appearance of a previously undetectable quantum excitation known as the axial Higgs mode – exciting in its own right – also holds promise for developing and manipulating higher temperature quantum materials for quantum computing and quantum information sciences broadly. The post Newly-Observed Higgs Mode Holds Promise in Quantum Computing appeared first on HPCwire.

39.7% of mining companies included in an analysis conducted by Mining Technology were recruiting for robotics related positions in May 2022. This marks a year high for hiring robotics jobs in this sector.  The post Hiring levels for robotics jobs in mining hit year high in May appeared first on The Robot Report.

A round of applause broke out in the CERN Control Centre on 5 July at 4.47 p.m. CEST when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) detectors switched on all subsystems and started recording high-energy collisions at the unprecedented energy of 13.6 TeV, ushering in a new physics season. This feat was made possible thanks to the […]

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), in collaboration with the Minority-Serving Institution (MSI) STEM Research and Development Consortium (MSRDC), awarded $3.2 million for eight projects at seven MSIs through the recently announced Science and Technology Research Partnership program. These projects will advance the Biden Administration’s goals of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM fields and […]
