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...

Understanding protein interactions is key to innumerable fields – including, notably, drug design. Now, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a machine learning tool to predict interactions between multiple proteins, paving the way for...

When it comes to how fast artificial intelligence (AI) models can continue to grow, the sky is not the limit; system design is. As researchers continue to push boundaries with conversational AI, computer vision, recommender systems, and other workloads, AI models...

A discovery by scientists led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), on how electrons can be controlled at very low temperatures, suggests a way for addressing this problem and developing more robust and accurate quantum computers. Source:...

The integral role genomics played in combating the COVID-19 pandemic brought this field to the forefront of the public’s mind as new variants were continually announced. Genomics enabled near real-time monitoring of the spread of the virus as well as estimating...

A team of scientists led from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has trained artificial intelligence (AI) on data from simulated clusters of galaxies, in which the composition of all the components is known. This AI went on to predict a mass for the real-world Coma...

Researchers at Princeton found that a material known as a topological insulator, made from the elements bismuth and bromine, exhibit specialized quantum behaviors normally seen only under extreme experimental conditions of high pressures and temperatures near absolute...

Supercomputer simulations have helped scientists reveal in a bilayer moiré system a new species of an electronic phenomenon called an exciton, which is an electrically neutral quasiparticle, yet one that can carry energy and consists of an electron and electron ‘hole’...

As the race to develop large-scale, reliable quantum computers gains speed, fortification efforts are ramping up to protect digital systems from a technology that could utterly obliterate their security. Commonwealth Cyber Initiative researchers at Virginia Tech and...

What if you could design and build a surgical robot that helps doctors perform less invasive, more precise operations and achieve better patient outcomes? While the results of any surgery depend on the challenges of the specific case and the skill of the surgeon,...

A tremendous portion of the world depends on the output of the oceans’ major fisheries, which have, in recent decades, found themselves under near-constant threat from mismanagement (e.g. overfishing). Climate change, of course, clouds the future of these fisheries...
