Fermionic atoms are atoms that obey the Pauli exclusion principle, which means that no two of them can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. This makes them ideal for simulating systems where fermionic statistics play a crucial role, such as molecules,...

Although the economy has slowed, investments in robotics and automation are growing. Global robot installations are expected to increase by 7% yearly between 2024 and 2026, according to the International Federation of Robotics. The post Don’t wait to plan next year’s...

Water, despite its simple molecular structure, behaves in ways that have long puzzled scientists. While it is universally recognized as essential to life, water’s anomalous properties present unique challenges for computational modeling. But in a groundbreaking study...

Accurately calculating interactions among electrons has been a significant obstacle to reliable material exploration and design through computer modeling. Recently, a University of Michigan-led international team demonstrated code that brought quantum mechanical...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed eAir, an aero-elastic pressure sensor inspired by lotus leaf’s water-repelling structures. eAir sensors offer increased precision and reliability for medical applications over traditional...

Supercomputing remains largely an on-premise affair for many reasons that include horsepower, security, and system management. Companies need more time to move workloads to the cloud, but the options are increasing. (See the recently posted HPC-AI forecast from...

The Department of Energy’s Office of Science has allocated supercomputer access to a record-breaking 75 computational science projects for 2024 through its Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment, or INCITE, program. DOE is awarding 60% of...

Microsoft and Rockwell Automation have announced an expanded partnership to leverage Generative AI capabilities for enhanced productivity and faster time-to-market. The first outcome of this collaboration will be adding Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service into...

Scientists have made an important step toward developing computers advanced enough to simulate complex natural phenomena at the quantum level. While these types of simulations are too cumbersome or outright impossible for classical computers to handle, photonics-based...

Searching and selecting a motor for a specific application can often be a challenging task, as there are many potential factors that must be taken into consideration. These include the application’s required voltage, maximum current and diameter, speed, efficiency,...

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a patent-pending vision method that improves on traditional machine vision and perception. The system, called HADAR or heat-assisted detection and ranging, allows robots to see in the dark the same as they can in...
