News Toshiba’s Double-Transmon Coupler Will Realize Faster, More Accurate Superconducting Quantum Computers
“Researchers at Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) have achieved a breakthrough in quantum computer architecture: the basic design for a double-transmon coupler that will improve the speed and accuracy of quantum computation in tunable couplers. The coupler is a key device …
“Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and four national laboratories have devised a way to make lithium-ion battery cathodes without using cobalt, a mineral plagued by price volatility and geopolitical complications. In a paper published today in Nature, the …
“Cooling materials to extremely low temperatures is important for basic physics research as well as for technological applications. By improving a special refrigerator and a low-temperature thermometer, Basel scientists have now managed to cool an electric circuit on a chip …
“Investigating how solid matter behaves at enormous pressures, such as those found in the deep interiors of giant planets, is a great experimental challenge. To help address that challenge, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers and collaborators took a deep …
“Researchers found a new way to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by wrapping copper nanocubes with an organic layer, solving instability and selectivity problems with copper nanocubes in catalysis, and improving how this electrocatalyst converts CO2 into organic molecules. As …
“Scientists can use laser radiation to print tiny structures with high precision. This approach enables them to mimic the superpowers of animals and plants and makes them accessible for engineering applications. To survive in extreme habitats, many animals and plants …
“For the first time, scientists at the University of Oxford have been able to demonstrate a network of two entangled optical atomic clocks and show how the entanglement between the remote clocks can be used to improve their measurement precision …
“After 30 years, NIST is once again calibrating gear artifacts, which could improve electric cars. As mechanical objects, gears have been around for so long that people may take them for granted. But gears are sophisticated parts that play a …
“A new study describes the rules by which physical force on cells affects squishy biocomputers inside, and the action of a related kinase known to be overactive as tau tangles form in the brain cells of Alzheimer’s patients. An …
“The laser that will be the most powerful in the United States is preparing to send its first pulses into an experimental target at the University of Michigan. Funded by the National Science Foundation, it will be a destination for …
