“Quantum computers could usher in a golden age of computing power, solving problems intractable on today’s machines. Since the 1940s, classical computers have improved at breakneck speed. Today you can buy a wristwatch with more computing power than the …

“What are the fundamental laws that govern our universe? How did the matter in the universe today get there? What exactly is dark matter? The questions may be eternal, but no human scientist has an eternity to answer them. Now …

“Scientists at EPFL have developed a game-changing perovskite material that can be used as a cheaper and highly efficient alternative to gamma-ray detectors. Perovskites are materials made up of organic compounds bound to a metal. Propelled into the forefront of …

“Columbia team discovers 6nm-long single-molecule circuit with enormous on/off ratio due to quantum interference; finding could enable faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient devices Researchers, led by Columbia Engineering Professor Latha Venkataraman, report today that they have discovered a new …

“Researchers have found a way to protect highly fragile quantum systems from noise, which could aid in the design and development of new quantum devices, such as ultra-powerful quantum computers. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, have shown that …

“Hyundai Motor Co. is acquire the US robotics firm Boston Dynamics Inc. from SoftBank Group for slightly less than 1 trillion won ($921 million) and will finalize the acquisition at its Dec. 10 board meeting, according to sources with knowledge …

“Neural networks are some of the most important tools in artificial intelligence (AI): they mimic the operation of the human brain and can reliably recognize texts, language and images, to name but a few. So far, they run on traditional …

“Joint research work between Chemnitz University of Technology and Technische Universität Dresden under Chemnitz leadership reveals ionic defect landscape in metal halide perovskites - publication in renowned journal Nature Communications The group of so-called metal halide perovskites as materials has revolutionized …

“Building on their newfound ability to induce molecules in ultracold gases to interact with each other over long distances, JILA researchers have used an electric “knob” to influence molecular collisions and dramatically raise or lower chemical reaction rates. These super-chilly …

“The setup of lasers and mirrors effectively “solved” a problem far too complicated for even the largest traditional computer system For the first time, a quantum computer made from photons—particles of light—has outperformed even the fastest classical supercomputers …
