Breakthrough extends quantum state stability by 10,000 times

“Scientists in Chicago have developed a way to keep quantum states operating for longer periods of time — a breakthrough they say could accelerate the development of quantum communication, computing and sensing. Hundreds of studies have hinted at the power of …

Cerebras Wafer Packs 2.6 Trillion-Transistor CPU With 850,000 Cores

“A few years ago, we started to see researchers discussing an old manufacturing idea first explored in the 1980s: Wafer-scale processing. The idea of WSP is straightforward: Instead of dicing a wafer into individual chips and then packaging those chips …

Challenges in the development of electrocatalysts

“Efficient catalysts are crucial for energy conversion. However, findings from basic research rarely make it into practice at present. Regenerative energy harvesting often generates more electricity than is directly needed. Electrochemical processes could be used to store the excess energy …

China’s CATL is developing new EV battery with no nickel, cobalt, exec says

“China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd (CATL), a Tesla supplier, is developing a new type of electric vehicle (EV) battery that contains no nickel or cobalt, a company executive said on Saturday. Nickel and cobalt are key ingredients in …

Clemson researchers shed light on the building blocks for next-generation LED displays

“Three teams of researchers at Clemson University have joined forces to unravel some of the mysteries surrounding perovskite nanocrystals, which are semiconductors with numerous applications, including LEDs, lasers, solar cells and photodetectors. A research article titled “The correlation between phase …

Controlling heat opens door for next-generation lighting and displays in perovskite LEDs

“Light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, are nearly ubiquitous in modern life, providing the brightness in phone displays, televisions, and lights. A new form of LEDs, made of a class of materials called halide perovskites, promises higher color quality and ease of …

Graphene sensors find subtleties in magnetic fields

“As with actors and opera singers, when measuring magnetic fields it helps to have range. Cornell researchers used an ultrathin graphene “sandwich” to create a tiny magnetic field sensor that can operate over a greater temperature range than previous sensors …

How AI Is Accelerating MRI Scans

“Imagine you’re at the hospital, in pain and anxious about what diagnosis might be coming. Your doctor orders an MRI scan, which means waiting for an available time slot so you can lie perfectly still inside the scanner’s …

How Do You Solve a Moon Mystery? Fire a Laser at It

“The moon is drifting away. Every year, it gets about an inch and a half farther from us. Hundreds of millions of years from now, our companion in the sky will be distant enough that there will be no more …

IBM Delivers Its Highest Quantum Volume to Date, Expanding the Computational Power of its IBM Cloud-Accessible Quantum Computers

“Company achieves a quantum volume of 64 through full-stack improvements Today, IBM has unveiled a new milestone on its quantum computing road map, achieving the company’s highest Quantum Volume to date. Combining a series of new software and hardware …
