World’s 1st multinode quantum network is a breakthrough for the quantum internet

“The move to a three-node system is a quantum leap in network design. Scientists have gotten one step closer to a quantum internet by creating the world’s first multinode quantum network. Researchers at the QuTech research center in the …

3D motion tracking system could streamline vision for autonomous tech

“Transparent optical sensor arrays combine with a specialized neural network in new University of Michigan prototype A new real-time, 3D motion tracking system developed at the University of Michigan combines transparent light detectors with advanced neural network methods to create …

Battery parts can be recycled without crushing or melting

“New recycling method replenishes lithium in electrodes while keeping existing structure intact – and performance is nearly as good as new ones The proliferation of electric cars, smartphones, and portable devices is leading to an estimated 25 percent increase globally in …

China launches first module of new space station

“China has launched a key module of a new permanent space station, the latest in Beijing’s increasingly ambitious space programme. The Tianhe module - which contains living quarters for crew members - was launched from the Wenchang Space Launch Centre on …

“Colloidal gels,” ubiquitous in everyday products, divulge their secrets

“Study explores the mechanical properties of these materials as they evolve from elastic gels to glassy solids. Researchers at MIT have developed a new method for determining the structure and behavior of a class of widely used soft materials known …

Elephant-trunk-shaped Robotic Arm Performs Daily Interactions like Human

“Skillful robots are always the pursuit of robotics research. Inspired by nature, researchers have designed soft-bodied robotic arms which can easily perform tasks, like surgery, that rigid robots require complicated computation. Yet performing interactions such as opening doors in daily …

Energy-saving gas turbines from the 3D printer

“3D printing has opened up a completely new range of possibilities. One example is the production of novel turbine buckets. However, the 3D printing process often induces internal stress in the components which can in the worst case lead to …

Exoplanet is Gobbling Up Gas and Dust as it Continues to Build Mass

“The Hubble Space Telescope has allowed astronomers from The University of Texas at Austin to get a rare look at a young, Jupiter-sized planet that is growing by feeding off material surrounding a young star 370 light-years from Earth. “We …

Fedora Linux 34 is officially here!

“Today, I’m excited to share the results of the hard work of thousands of contributors to the Fedora Project: our latest release, Fedora Linux 34, is here! I know a lot of you have been waiting… I’ve seen …

How to get salt out of water: Make it self-eject

“Crystallizing salts can grow “legs,” then tip over and fall away, potentially helping to prevent fouling of metal surfaces, researchers find. About a quarter of a percent of the entire gross domestic product of industrialized countries is estimated to be …
