Excitons are drawing attention as possible quantum bits (qubits) in tomorrow’s quantum computers and are central to optoelectronics and energy-harvesting processes. However, these charge-neutral quasiparticles, which exist in semiconductors and other materials, are...

On December 5th, the research team at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) achieved a historic win in energy science: for the first time ever, more energy was produced by an artificial fusion reaction than was consumed...

Quantum devices are becoming ever more complex and powerful. Researchers at the University of Innsbruck, in collaboration with the Johannes Kepler University Linz and the University of Technology Sydney, are now presenting a method to characterize even large quantum...

Scientists are searching for new materials to advance the next generation of nuclear power plants. In a recent study, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory showed how artificial intelligence could help pinpoint the right...

Researchers at MIT have designed a soft, robotic implantable ventilator that can augment the diaphragm’s natural contractions.  The post MIT researchers create implantable robotic ventilator appeared first on The Robot Report.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) used resources, including Bridges-2, supplied by the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) and allocated through ACCESS to train artificial intelligence to predict the mass of the Coma Cluster of galaxies. By feeding...

Humans see the world around them because light is being absorbed by specialized cells in the retina. But can vision happen without any absorption at all – without even a single particle of light? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. The post Researchers Use Quantum...

Nuclear physicists have found a new way to use the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a particle collider at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory—to see the shape and details inside atomic nuclei. The method relies on particles of...

Researchers from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine describe a method for teaching a computer how to spot mosaic mutations using an artificial intelligence approach termed “deep learning.” The...

The answer starts by understanding the difference between the traditional capital equipment selling cycle and the concept of a subscription service selling model. The post What is a Robotic Service Provider? appeared first on The Robot Report.

Robots, and in particular industrial robots, are programmed to perform certain functions. The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a very popular framework that facilitates the asynchronous coordination between a robot and other drives and/or devices. ROS has been a go-to...

UNSW Sydney engineers have discovered a new way of precisely controlling single electrons nestled in quantum dots that run logic gates. The new mechanism is also less bulky and requires fewer parts, which could prove essential to making large-scale silicon quantum...
