An international team of scientists has built the largest and most detailed bird family tree to date—an intricate chart delineating 93 million years of evolutionary relationships between 363 bird species, representing 92% of all bird families. The advance was made...

When old food packaging, discarded children’s toys and other mismanaged plastic waste break down into microplastics, they become even harder to clean up from oceans and waterways. These tiny bits of plastic also attract bacteria, including those that cause disease....

=Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have achieved a milestone in accelerating and adding features to complex multi-physics simulations run on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), a development that could advance high performance computing and...

The journey begins as Kate Keahey’s wandering path unfolds, leading to improbable events. Keahey, Senior Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago, leads Chameleon. This innovative project offers an edge-to-cloud platform tailored for...

Photonic Inc., a leader in distributed quantum computing in silicon, announced a significant milestone on the path to commercially relevant quantum systems. While many existing quantum architectures achieve entanglement within modules, Photonic has demonstrated...

Researchers from the Center for Quantum Information (CQI), Tsinghua University, Beijing, have reported successful development and testing of a new programmable quantum memory framework. “This work provides a promising platform for the implementation of quantum...

Sony is looking to compete in the surgical robotics market with its own microsurgery assistance robot. The Tokyo-based company recently announced it developed a microsurgery assistance robot that is capable of automatic surgical instrument exchange and precision...

Cleveland Clinic, IBM and the Science and Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC) Hartree Centre in the UK have announced an innovative collaboration aimed at advancing healthcare and biomedical science through advanced computing technologies, including artificial...

More research at UC San Diego revealed yet another side-channel attack on x86_64 processors. The research identified a new vulnerability that allows precise control of conditional branch prediction in modern processors.   The post Processor Security: Taking the Wong...

In today’s fast-tech era, robotics engineering is transforming multiple industrial sectors. From cartesian robots to robotaxis, cutting-edge technologies are automating applications in logistics, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. Moreover, automation uses modern...

A previously unknown type of vortex has now been discovered in a study, published in Science, conducted by Dr. Lee Drori, Dr. Bankim Chandra Das, Tomer Danino Zohar and Dr. Gal Winer from Prof. Ofer Firstenberg’s laboratory at the Weizmann Institute of Science’s...

Even though we invented it, humans can be pretty bad at science. We need to eat and sleep, we sometimes let our emotions regulate our behavior, and our bodies are easily and irreparably damaged – all of which can stand in the way of scientific achievement. The post...
