1,000 atomic qubits and rising

“Making quantum systems more scalable is one of the key requirements for the further development of quantum computers because the advantages they offer become increasingly evident as the systems are scaled up. Researchers at TU Darmstadt have recently taken a …

3D microprinter hacked to fabricate transistors for bioelectronics

“The speed of innovation in bioelectronics and critical sensors gets a new boost with the unveiling of a technique for fast-prototyping of devices. A research team at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University reported a simple way to …

6 Channel Voltmeter

“In this project, we are making a 6-channel voltmeter that has 6 voltage dividers and an OLED screen that will show the reading from the diff Some special applications often have to measure the voltage from several parts at the …

A New “Metal Swap” Method for Creating Lateral Heterostructures of 2D Materials

“Researchers employ a new “transmetallation” technique to develop ultrathin electronic devices from 2D coordination nanosheets. Electronically conducting two-dimensional (2D) materials are currently hot topics of research in both physics and chemistry owing to their unique properties that have the potential …

A new world of 2D material is opening up

“Materials that are incredibly thin, only a few atoms thick, exhibit unique properties that make them appealing for energy storage, catalysis and water purification. Researchers at Linköping University have now developed a method that enables the synthesis of hundreds of …

A “quantum leap” at room temperature

“In the realm of quantum mechanics, the ability to observe and control quantum phenomena at room temperature has long been elusive, especially on a large or “macroscopic” scale. Traditionally, such observations have been confined to environments near absolute zero, where …

A replacement for traditional motors could enhance next-gen robots

“Researchers at Stanford have designed a spring-assisted actuator – a device that can accomplish dynamic tasks using a fraction of the energy previously required. Whether it’s a powered prosthesis to assist a person who has lost a limb or an …

An endless domino effect

“If it walks like a particle, and talks like a particle… it may still not be a particle. A topological soliton is a special type of wave or dislocation which behaves like a particle: it can move around but cannot …

Another Serving of Pi: Solidigm SSDs Help Calculate New World Record

“Nearly a petabyte of Solidigm storage computes Pi to 105 trillion digits After successfully breaking the speed record for calculating pi to 100 trillion digits last year, the team at StorageReview has taken it up a notch, revealing all the …

Arduino all in one robot

“Experience the Arduino All-in-One Robot, equipped with Bluetooth, IR remote, voice control, obstacle avoidance, and hand follower. Meet my Arduino All-in-One Robot: a super cool creation with Bluetooth, voice, and remote control. It avoids obstacles, follows your hand, and shines …
