A new theoretical study provides a framework for understanding nonlocality, a feature that quantum networks must possess to perform operations inaccessible to standard communications technology. By clarifying the concept, researchers determined the conditions...

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory is building one of the nation’s first exascale systems, Aurora. To prepare codes for the architecture and scale of the new supercomputer, 15 research teams are taking part in the Aurora Early Science...

A new approach to developing semiconductor materials at tiny scales could help boost applications that rely on converting light to energy. A Los Alamos-led research team incorporated magnetic dopants into specially engineered colloidal quantum dots — nanoscale-size...

Something’s been forgotten in the race to build general-purpose humanoid robots. Roboticists are forgetting to answer this basic question: What does it mean to be general purpose? The post Evolving humanoid robotic dexterity from toddler to adult appeared first on The...

Over the past decade, teams of engineers, chemists and biologists have analyzed the physical and chemical properties of cicada wings, hoping to unlock the secret of their ability to kill microbes on contact. If this function of nature can be replicated by science, it...

The possibilities of high-performance computing are boundless. Every day new and exciting innovations and discoveries are announced that have utilized the power of cyberinfrastructure, and such advancements that benefit all of society should also include all of...

A group of researchers at MIT have developed a framework that could help robots learn faster in new environments without needing a user to have technical knowledge. This technique helps users without technical knowledge understand why a robot might have failed to...

The New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA) and Intuition Robotics announced the continuation of their partnership that began in May 2022, and new data showing the positive effects of ElliQ, Intuition’s robotic companion for aging adults.  The post NYSOFA combats...

SEEQC announced with HQS Quantum Simulations that it has successfully run an algorithm on its SEEQC System Red, the company’s full-stack quantum computing system, that shows great potential to achieve commercially useful quantum advantage in the near term. SEEQCs high...
