New research infuses equity principles into the algorithm development process

“In the U.S., the place where one was born, one’s social and economic background, the neighborhoods in which one spends one’s formative years, and where one grows old are factors that account for a quarter to 60 …

New viable means of storing information for quantum technologies?

“Quantum information could be behind the next technological revolution. By analogy with the bit in classical computing, the qubit is the basic element of quantum computing. However, demonstrating the existence of this information storage unit and using it remains complex …

NIST’s Quantum Crystal Could Be a New Dark Matter Sensor

“Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have linked together, or “entangled,” the mechanical motion and electronic properties of a tiny blue crystal, giving it a quantum edge in measuring electric fields with record sensitivity that may …

Q-CTRL unveils machine learning technique to pinpoint quantum errors

“Method separates ‘real’ from background noise in quantum systems Professor Michael Biercuk’s quantum tech startup makes research strides through continued collaboration with the University to enhance quantum computing performance. Researchers at the University of Sydney and quantum control startup …

Ready for Prime Time: Plus to Deliver Autonomous Truck Systems Powered by NVIDIA DRIVE to Amazon

“Your Amazon Prime delivery just got smarter. Autonomous trucking company Plus recently signed a deal with Amazon to provide at least 1,000 self-driving systems to retrofit on the e-commerce giant’s delivery fleet. These systems are powered by NVIDIA …

Researchers kick-start magnetic spin waves at nanoscale in pursuit of low energy computing

“An international team from Delft, Lancaster, Nijmegen, Kiev and Salerno has demonstrated a new technique to generate magnetic waves that propagate through the material at a speed much faster than the speed of sound. These so-called spin waves produce a …

Rice team creating insulin-producing implant for Type 1 diabetes

“JDRF funds creation of implant to automatically regulate blood glucose levels Rice University bioengineers are using 3D printing and smart biomaterials to create an insulin-producing implant for Type 1 diabetics. The three-year project is a partnership between the laboratories of …

Robot Dog Makes Infrastructure Maintenance a Walk in the Park

“Able to climb stairs, navigate rough terrain, and respond to commands, Spot, the mobile robotic dog, offers researchers an autonomous technology for innovations in infrastructure maintenance and repair Jie Gong thinks robots hold the key to mitigating dangers that can …

Running quantum software on a classical computer

“Two physicists, from EPFL and Columbia University, have introduced an approach for simulating the quantum approximate optimization algorithm using a traditional computer. Instead of running the algorithm on advanced quantum processors, the new approach uses a classical machine-learning algorithm that …

Scientists Release New AI-based Tools to Accelerate Functional Electronic Materials Discovery

“An interdisciplinary team of scientists from Northwestern Engineering and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has used artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to build new, free, and easy-to-use tools that allow scientists to accelerate the rate of discovery and study of materials …
