TORONTO, Canada, and LEUVEN, Belgium, Aug. 17, 2021 — Xanadu (https://xanadu.ai), a full-stack photonic quantum computing company and imec (www.imec-int.com), a world-leading research and innovation center in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, have today...

The new HPC system at the Graubünden University of Applied Sciences is now occupied with complex research tasks – but for the past few months, it’s had its fingers in other πs. After 108 days of calculation, the system has calculated π to upwards of 62.8 trillion...

Published August 19 in the journal Nature Chemistry, a research study led by Amaro, co-senior author Lillian Chong at the University of Pittsburgh, first author and UC San Diego graduate student Terra Sztain and co-first author and UC San Diego postdoctoral scholar...

The food delivery sector faces serious supply chain challenges that could reduce consumer adoption and limit growth. A Cloud Kitchen execution architecture, supported by high levels of robotic automation, a can address the problem while providing consumers with...

What does it take for a robot to run, flip, vault, and leap like an athlete? Creating these high-energy demonstrations is a fun challenge, but our technical goals go beyond just creating a flashy performance. On the Atlas project, we use parkour as an experimental...

For the first time, Northwestern University engineers have created a double layer of atomically flat borophene, a feat that defies the natural tendency of boron to form non-planar clusters beyond the single-atomic-layer limit.

While most of the quantum computing world is focused on achieving fault tolerant computing – some day – with intermediate applications for NISQ (near intermediate scale quantum) systems emerging along the way, Zapata Computing is taking a different approach. Its idea...

Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) launched two autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to extend its existing product line and better serve the needs of its customers.
