In a historic milestone, Azure Quantum demonstrates formerly elusive physics needed to build scalable topological qubits

“Microsoft’s Azure Quantum program has developed devices that can create quantum properties which scientists have imagined for nearly a century but have not been able to unambiguously produce in the real world — until now. It’s a key scientific …

In-Memory-Computing: faster and more energy efficient

“Big Data applications require high computing performance while consuming as little power as possible. Current computer systems are reaching their limits in both areas. Professor Onur Mutlu is working on alternative systems and has just received the Intel 2021 Outstanding …

Isomorphism — Mathematics of Programming

“This interesting story reflects an important mathematical idea, isomorphism. A difficult problem can be transformed to an isomorphic one, which is mathematical equivalent and easy to solve. A line of 9 numbers corresponds to a 3 x 3 grids; the …

ITMO Scientists Develop Method to Easily Synthesize Materials With Set Properties

“Researchers from ITMO’s have demonstrated the possibility of using the sol-gel method to produce various porous monolithic structures from magnetite nanoparticles. The new method can produce multifunctional materials with complex hierarchical structures, such as the xero-, cryo-, and aerogel …

Launching robots into lunar caves

“A hundred meters below the surface of the moon lie caves untouched by humans. They were discovered about ten years ago, but space agencies want to send robots to investigate these mysterious cavities before astronauts venture in. “On the moon …

Magnetic Levitating Lamp

“The magical Arduino-powered magnetic levitating lamp. A fully 3DPrintalble project for beginners. For me, it was an exploration as a beginning designer on how you can work with magnets and make something float out of nowhere. My goal was for …

Make a Remote Temp Sensor with Permanent Display inside your House

“Most of us use a phone app to see the temperature outside - which is fine if you don’t mind receiving a reading from a sensor located at a meteorological station somewhere nearby. And when we finally do set up …

Mathematical paradox demonstrates the limits of AI

“Humans are usually pretty good at recognising when they get things wrong, but artificial intelligence systems are not. According to a new study, AI generally suffers from inherent limitations due to a century-old mathematical paradox. Like some people, AI systems …

Models for molecules show unexpected physics

“Rice engineers show spinning magnetic particles surprisingly follow thermodynamic laws Small spheres suspended in a liquid move enough like molecules that the physics for one can be used to mimic the physics of the other. That’s why the discovery …

NASA Adds Giant New Dish to Communicate With Deep Space Missions

“Part of an ongoing project to grow the capacity of the Deep Space Network, which acts as a kind of interplanetary switchboard, the new antenna is the network’s 14th. There’s a powerful new member of NASA’s family …
