Quantum computers are advancing at a rapid pace and are already starting to push the limits of the world’s largest supercomputers. Yet, these devices are extremely sensitive to external influences and thus prone to errors which can change the result of the...

We’re only human. We get tired and distracted, and that’s how most driving accidents happen. That is why so many companies are furiously working on autonomous vehicles (AVs). However, there is still a need for humans to be able to take control. The post How direct...

A University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) researcher is part of a collaboration that has set a world record for innovation in quantum computing. The accomplishment comes from R. Tyler Sutherland, an assistant professor in the College of Sciences Department of...

The next generation of computing and information processing lies in the intriguing world of quantum mechanics. Quantum computers are expected to be capable of solving large, extremely complex problems that are beyond the capacity of today’s most powerful...

Scientists have generated circularly polarized light and controlled its direction without using clunky magnets or very low temperatures. The findings, by Nagoya University researchers and colleagues in Japan, and published in the journal Advanced Materials, show...

Tomorrow’s wildfire fighters and other first responders may tag-team with robotic assistants that can hike through wilderness areas and disaster zones, thanks to a University of Michigan research project funded by a new $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation.

With soaring data volumes and insatiable computing driving nearly every facet of economic, social and scientific progress, data storage is seizing the spotlight. Hyperion research analyst and noted storage expert Mark Nossokoff looks at key storage trends in the...

GE Research released a video that showed a prototype of the system “autonomously and continuously” tunneling underground at the group’s campus in Niskayuna, NY. The soft robot slid past small rocks and obstacles as it carved a 10 cm diameter tunnel. You can watch a...
