‘Noise-Cancelling’ Qubits Developed at Uchicago to Minimize Errors in Quantum Computers
Despite their immense promise to solve new kinds of problems, today’s quantum computers are inherently prone to error. A small perturbation in their surrounding environment— a change in temperature, pressure, or magnetic field, for instance—can disrupt their fragile...
Supercomputer Simulations Explain Life-Critical Protein in the Brain
The fourth most common neurological disorder in the world is epilepsy, according to the Epilepsy Foundation. Individuals who have the disorder experience surges of electrical activity in their brains that can cause recurring seizures. At the base of those electrical...
ASTM announces legged robotics subcommittee
ASTM International’s F45 Committee on Robotics, Automation and Autonomous Systems recently approved the creation of a new subcommittee for legged robots. The post ASTM announces legged robotics subcommittee appeared first on The Robot Report.

Jetstream2 Powers Breakthroughs in Wind Energy Forecasts
As scientists look to the future of energy production, renewable resources remain one of the most important areas of study. By their very nature, resources like coal and oil will eventually run out. There are also extreme environmental impacts involved with every step...
RENCI’s APSViz Transforms Storm Surge Predictions, Enhancing Response to Hurricanes
Over the past three years, the Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI), a data science research institute at UNC-Chapel Hill, has been developing a state-of-the-science, cloud-ready data engine, visualization, and information delivery system called APSViz. As a core...
Johns Hopkins Researchers Use Expanse Supercomputer to Explore Causes of Friction
Leonardo Da Vinci – an artist, scientist and inventor recognized by many for his famous works such as the Mona Lisa and the Creation of Adam – made several contributions to human society, including sketch designs for the ball bearing (a rolling device used to create...
US and UK Unite in Quantum Research: A Cross-Atlantic Partnership for Scientific Discovery
The United States and United Kingdom are sharing expertise and capabilities in the blossoming field of quantum information science across the pond. This new partnership between the countries will lead to new quantum devices, insights into their performance, ways to...
Boston Dynamics’ Spot expands sensing, software features
Boston Dynamics has deployed more than 1,000 Spot quadrupeds in 35-plus countries. The company claims it has more quadruped robots deployed in industrial applications than any other vendor. The company has received more media attention for Spot than just about any...
Expanse Supercomputer Aids in Nanoparticle Assembly Research
First discovered in Russia’s Ural Mountains in 1839, perovskites are minerals that scientists have long recognized for their potential around stability and efficiency in materials design. In terms of nanoscience and nanoparticles, perovskites may be able to literally...
Pritzker Molecular Engineering Researchers ‘Split’ Phonons – or Sound – in Step Toward New Type of Quantum Computer
The laws of quantum mechanics hold that quantum particles are fundamentally indivisible and therefore cannot be split, but researchers at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) at the University of Chicago are exploring what happens when you try to split a...
ExaSMR Project Leads Charge in High-Resolution Nuclear Reactor Simulations
For the past 20 years, fission reactors have produced a nearly unchanging portion of the nation’s electricity: around 20%. But that percentage could start increasing soon. The advent of small modular reactors, or SMRs, and advanced reactor concepts, or ARCs, signals a...
