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...
Researcher Uses AI to Discover New Materials for Advanced Computing
A team of researchers led by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Trevor David Rhone, assistant professor in the Department of Physics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy, has identified novel van der Waals (vdW) magnets using cutting-edge tools in artificial intelligence...
Supercomputer Simulations Reveal Electron Orbital Signatures in Iron and Cobalt Atoms
No one will ever be able to see a purely mathematical construct such as a perfect sphere. But now, scientists using supercomputer simulations and atomic resolution microscopes have imaged the signatures of electron orbitals, which are defined by mathematical equations...
BirdFlow AI: How Supercomputers and AI Unveil the Secrets of Migratory Bird Patterns
Migratory birds are critical for the health of human agriculture and the environment. But our knowledge of their movements is surprisingly little. Using “snapshots” based on Cornell University’s eBird database, scientists at the University of Massachusetts created...
Sanctuary AI unveils general purpose humanoid robot
The newly unveiled Sanctuary AI Pheonix humanoid robot is the sixth generation of solutions from Sanctuary AI. The company was formed in 2018 with the mission to develop a general-purpose humanoid robot, in a form factor similar to an average-sized human. The company...
ABB: Top US robotics trends
John Bubnikovich, ABB US Robotics Division President, is making several predictions on key trends in robotics automation in the US for 2023 and beyond. The post ABB: Top US robotics trends appeared first on Robotics Business Review.
Quirky Quantum Materials Could Hold Fundamental Answers for Quantum Scientists
Metals are a class of materials that are fairly well-understood—we’ve used them in technology for centuries, from arrowheads to smartphones—but “strange metals” are a certain kind of metal that scientists don’t know how to explain. While it’s more often seen in a lab...
Purdue Engineers Develop New Tool for Ultrathin Semiconductor Production
Purdue University engineers have developed a patent-pending tool to make the manufacture of ultrathin semiconductors more consistent, controllable and repeatable than traditional methods. The post Purdue Engineers Develop New Tool for Ultrathin Semiconductor...
Human Brain Project: Study Presents Large Brain-like Neural Networks for AI
In a new study in Nature Machine Intelligence, researchers Bojian Yin and Sander Bohté from the HBP partner Dutch National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) demonstrate a significant step towards artificial intelligence that can be used in...
Graphene Quantum Dots Exhibit Near Perfect Particle-Hole Symmetry
Scientists confirmed that bilayer graphene can produce better results working as a semiconductor than silicon or gallium arsenide when the materials are used for hosting quantum bits in quantum information processing. At Forschungszentrum Jülich’s Helmholtz Nano...
Education Costs, Lack of Engineering Interest Hurting Semiconductor Industry
The semiconductor industry could be worth $1 trillion by 2030, growing from $600 billion today – and there will be an acute shortage of talent to fill jobs as the sector grows. The post Education Costs, Lack of Engineering Interest Hurting Semiconductor Industry...
