The next generation of computing and information processing lies in the intriguing world of quantum mechanics. Quantum computers are expected to be capable of solving large, extremely complex problems that are beyond the capacity of today’s most powerful supercomputers. The post Northwestern University Researchers Develop New Tool for Analyzing Large Quantum Superconducting Circuits appeared first […]
Scientists have generated circularly polarized light and controlled its direction without using clunky magnets or very low temperatures. The findings, by Nagoya University researchers and colleagues in Japan, and published in the journal Advanced Materials, show promise for the development of materials and device methods that can be used in optical quantum information processing. The […]
Tomorrow’s wildfire fighters and other first responders may tag-team with robotic assistants that can hike through wilderness areas and disaster zones, thanks to a University of Michigan research project funded by a new $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation.
With soaring data volumes and insatiable computing driving nearly every facet of economic, social and scientific progress, data storage is seizing the spotlight. Hyperion research analyst and noted storage expert Mark Nossokoff looks at key storage trends in the context of the evolving HPC (and AI) landscape in this in-depth Q&A. One of the themes […]
GE Research released a video that showed a prototype of the system “autonomously and continuously” tunneling underground at the group’s campus in Niskayuna, NY. The soft robot slid past small rocks and obstacles as it carved a 10 cm diameter tunnel. You can watch a video of this demonstration below. The post Watch GE’s worm […]

TORONTO, Canada, and LEUVEN, Belgium, Aug. 17, 2021 — Xanadu (https://xanadu.ai), a full-stack photonic quantum computing company and imec (www.imec-int.com), a world-leading research and innovation center in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, have today announced a partnership to develop the next generation of photonic qubits based on ultra-low loss silicon nitride (SiN) waveguides. The post Xanadu and imec […]
The new HPC system at the Graubünden University of Applied Sciences is now occupied with complex research tasks – but for the past few months, it’s had its fingers in other πs. After 108 days of calculation, the system has calculated π to upwards of 62.8 trillion digits, besting the previous record of roughly 50 […]
Published August 19 in the journal Nature Chemistry, a research study led by Amaro, co-senior author Lillian Chong at the University of Pittsburgh, first author and UC San Diego graduate student Terra Sztain and co-first author and UC San Diego postdoctoral scholar Surl-Hee Ahn, describes the discovery of glycan “gates” that open to allow SARS-CoV-2 entry. The […]
