Currently, there are many qubit technologies vying for sway in quantum computing. So far, superconducting (IBM, Google) and trapped ion (IonQ, Quantinuum) have dominated the conversation. Microsoft’s proposed topological qubit, which relies on the existence of a still-unproven particle (Majorana), may be the most intriguing. Recently, neutral atom approaches have quickened pulses in the quantum […]

Even the toughest materials on Earth are vulnerable under the most extreme conditions. A supercomputer simulation visualized just that by cracking, melting and recrystallizing a virtual diamond under immense pressure and unimaginable temperatures. The post Sandia Supercomputer Model Simulates a Melting Diamond appeared first on HPCwire.

GE has upgraded its worm-like tunneling robot with highly-sensitive whiskers, similar to a cockroach’s whiskers, that give it enhanced perception capabilities for industrial pipeline monitoring, inspection and repair.  The post GE’s Pipe-worm robot clears, maps pipeline networks appeared first on The Robot Report.

A research team from the Universities of Bath and Birmingham are hoping to reinvent the way we design robots.  Typically, robots, like robotic arms, are controlled by a single central controller. The research team, however, is hoping to create robots that are made from many individual units that act individually but cooperatively to determine the […]

Language processing programs are notoriously hard to interpret, but smaller versions can provide important insights into how they work. Source: Researchers Glimpse How AI Gets So Good at Language Processing | Quanta Magazine

Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign developed GPU-accelerated software to simulate a 2-billion-atom cell that metabolizes and grows like a living cell The post NVIDIA GPUs Enable Simulation of a Living Cell appeared first on HPCwire.

RE2 Robotics‘ Maritime Mine Neutralization System (M2NS) was able to dive more than one kilometer deep during an open-water demonstration for the U.S. Navy’s Office of Naval Research (ONR).  The post RE2, VideoRay robot hits underwater depth milestone appeared first on The Robot Report.

OSARO’s solution combines advanced robotics with automated packing and bagging equipment, and is able to package 350 individual parts per hour. The system was created for fulfillment centers, warehouses and direct-to-consumer e-commerce centers, but its primary use-case is for single-item order fulfillment using polybags in e-commerce applications. The post OSARO unveils robotic bagging solution appeared […]

Scientists working with the Exascale Computing Project (ECP) have developed Ginkgo, a sparse linear algebra library designed to increase portability of software among heterogeneous supercomputing architectures. The portability problem is usually addressed by applying a portability layer, which generates language-specific kernels through interfaces like Kokkos, RAJA or OpenMP. The Ginkgo effort choses a different strategy […]

When it comes to developing quantum computers and harnessing quantum information, scientists require a complete understanding of the materials that make up superconducting qubits, or quantum bits, the core component of a quantum computer that holds information. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, along with collaborators such as Rigetti Computing […]
