A recent collaboration among researchers from HUN-REN Wigner Research Centre for Physics in Hungary and the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), along with industry collaborators SandboxAQ and Nvidia, has achieved unprecedented speed and performance in efforts to model complex metal-containing molecules. The collaboration resulted in 2.5 times the performance improvement over previous […]
Lately, not a week goes by without some announcement around humanoid robotics. However, developers should invest time and money into pilot studies now to identify the best tasks and commercial applications for their systems, according to Silicon Foundry. The post Humanoid robots need pilot studies to demonstrate utility, says Silicon Foundry appeared first on The […]
Experienced design engineers can certainly estimate cycle times, throughput, quality, and uptime. However, the complexity of processes and associated controls leave plenty of room for fine-tuning during engineering and after installing automation systems. The post How to optimize automation systems during and after installation appeared first on The Robot Report.
Nuclear fission — when the nucleus of an atom splits in two, releasing energy — may seem like a process that is fully understood. First discovered in 1939 and thoroughly studied ever since, fission is a constant factor in modern life, used in everything from nuclear medicine to power-generating nuclear reactors. However, it is a […]
China has launched a data-sharing initiative for its domestic humanoid companies to accelerate innovation. The project is being spearheaded by the National Local Joint Humanoid Robot Innovation Center and various Chinese humanoid companies. The post China launches data-sharing initiative for humanoid developers appeared first on The Robot Report.
A team of researchers, led by scientist Lin Zhou of Ames National Laboratory, has made important progress towards understanding the role of surface oxides in improving quantum computing circuits performance. Surface oxides are a primary cause of decoherence, or loss of quantum properties in quantum circuits. The team is part of a larger effort by […]
