A new process to build 2D materials made possible by quantum calculations

“Quantum calculations performed by researchers from the University of Surrey have allowed scientists to discover new ‘phases’ of two-dimensional (2D) material that could be used to develop the next generation of fuel-cells devices. The calculations aided Graz University of Technology …

Boosting Performance with Programmable Processing

“Marking a significant milestone in delivering an end-to-end programmable platform that leverages the combined benefits of Intel’s hardware and software offerings, Google Cloud has announced the successful deployment of its new C3 machine series. The C3 machine series features …

“Inspired by nature, the burrowing mole crab robot is a feat of engineering with real-world applications The unassuming Pacific mole crab, Emerita analoga, is about to make some waves. UC Berkeley researchers have debuted a unique robot inspired by this …

ESnet Launches Next-Generation Network to Enhance Collaborative Science

“ESnet6 provides over 46 Terabits per second of bandwidth and intelligent network services to support unique data-intensive needs of scientific research Today, the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) formally unveiled ESnet6, the newest generation of the U.S. Department of Energy …

Making quantum computers more accurate

“PhD student Alex Greene studies superconducting quantum computing systems while rounding out their busy schedule with water sanitation projects. In Building 13 on MIT’s campus, there sits a half-a-million-dollar piece of equipment that looks like a long stretched-out chandelier …

Microsoft open sources its ‘farm of the future’ toolkit

“The gently rolling hills here in eastern Washington have long grown rich harvests of wheat, barley and lentils. Fifth-generation farmer Andrew Nelson is adding a new bumper crop to that bounty: Data. He gathers it from sensors in the soil …

New measurements quantifying qudits provide glimpse of quantum future

“Using existing experimental and computational resources, a multi-institutional team has developed an effective method for measuring high-dimensional qudits encoded in quantum frequency combs, which are a type of photon source, on a single optical chip. Although the word “qudit” might …

New system designs nanomaterials that conduct heat in specific ways

“The technique could be used to fabricate computer chips that won’t get too hot while operating, or materials that can convert waste heat to energy. Computer chips are packed with billions of microscopic transistors that enable powerful computation, but …

Optical foundations illuminated by quantum light

“Despite being considered well established, the physics of optical waves have some fundamental aspects, which are still under debate. One of these effects, the anomalous behaviour of focused light fields, has now been investigated in a new light, a quantum …

Physicists use ‘electron correlations’ to control topological materials

“Strong electron interactions allow topological state to be switched on and off For the first time, U.S. and European physicists have found a way to switch the topological state of a quantum material on and off. Because they are …
