Busy GPUs: Sampling and pipelining method speeds up deep learning on large graphs

“New technique significantly reduces training and inference time on extensive datasets to keep pace with fast-moving data in finance, social networks, and fraud detection in cryptocurrency. Graphs, a potentially extensive web of nodes connected by edges, can be used to …

Changing the color of quantum light on an integrated chip

“Device could advance quantum computing and quantum networks Optical photons are ideal carriers of quantum information. But to work together in a quantum computer or network, they need to have the same color — or frequency — and bandwidth. Changing a photon …

Chinese astronauts board space station in historic mission

“Three Chinese astronauts arrived on Wednesday at China’s space station for the first in-orbit crew rotation in Chinese space history, launching operation of the second inhabited outpost in low-Earth orbit after the NASA-led International Space Station. The spacecraft …

Engineers use quantum computing to develop transparent window coating that blocks heat, saves energy

“Cooling accounts for about 15 percent of global energy consumption. Conventional clear windows allow the sun to heat up interior spaces, which energy-guzzling air-conditioners must then cool down. But what if a window could help cool the room, use no …

German Federal Printing Office, Fraunhofer and Infineon demonstrate for the first time electronic passport security for the quantum computer era

“Quantum computers could become a serious threat to the security of documents such as electronic passports before the present decade is over. New, quantum-secure encryption methods help protect stored biometric data. At Trustech, the event for innovative payment and identification …

Graphene heads to the moon

“Cambridge researchers are part of a European project testing graphene’s ability to protect spacecraft against the sticky, sharp dust on the moon’s surface – a challenge for lunar missions since the Apollo era. The Rashid lunar rover will soon …

Levitating balls and high-speed oscillators to help solve quantum physics problems

“Lancaster University has won a £1.3M award for research into quantum turbulence. The funding from the EPSRC is for a four-year project entitled “Creation and evolution of quantum turbulence in novel geometries”. The research team is led by Professor …

Mars helicopter Ingenuity aces 1st flight after major software update

“The update will make Ingenuity more capable in hilly terrain. NASA’s Mars helicopter Ingenuity has performed its shortest-ever flight, the first after a major software update that will allow the little chopper to land more safely and navigate over …

MIT researchers use quantum computing to observe entanglement

“Researchers at the Center for Theoretical Physics lead work on testing quantum gravity on a quantum processor. For the first time, researchers at MIT, Caltech, Harvard University, and elsewhere sent quantum information across a quantum system in what could be …

More control over plasma accelerators

“Physicists at the Centre for Advanced Laser Applications at LMU Munich have combined two plasma-based methods of particle acceleration for electron beams. If one particle accelerator alone is not enough to achieve the desired result, why not combine two accelerators …
