“Fast disappearing from data centers are power-hungry spinning hard disk drives that hum, buzz, run warm (or even hot), require fans and expensive cooling systems, and can crash unexpectedly. Intel’s newest solid state drive, the Intel® SSD DC P4500 …
“Given a video of a musical performance, CSAIL’s deep-learning system can make individual instruments louder or softer. Amateur and professional musicians alike may spend hours pouring over YouTube clips to figure out exactly how to play certain parts of …
“State-of-the-art quantum devices are not yet large enough to be called full-scale computers. The biggest comprise just a few dozen qubits—a meager count compared to the billions of bits in an ordinary computer’s memory. But steady progress means …
“Researchers from Duke University will lead a seven-university, $15 million collaboration with the audacious goal of building the world’s first practical quantum computer. Dubbed the Software-Tailored Architecture for Quantum co-design (STAQ) project, the effort seeks to demonstrate a quantum …
“Evidence that electrons form pairs in two distinct ways in iron-based superconductors will help theorists unravel the mechanism of unconventional superconductivity By mapping uneven patterns of electrons in iron-based superconductors, RIKEN researchers have found evidence that electrons can pair up …
“Deep reinforcement learning makes basketball video games look more realistic Basketball players need lots of practice before they master the dribble, and it turns out that’s true for computer-animated players as well. By using deep reinforcement learning, players in …
“Researchers have identified a group of materials that could be used to make even higher power batteries. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, used materials with a complex crystalline structure and found that lithium ions move through them at …
“Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new technique to control self-folding three-dimensional (3-D) structures. Specifically, the researchers use templates to constrain deformation in certain selected areas on a two-dimensional structure, which in turn dictates the resulting 3-D …
“New 4TB QLC SSD features performance levels on par with 3-bit SATA SSDs Offers 540MB/s read speed, 520MB/s write speed and 3-year warranty period Samsung Electronics, the world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced that it has …
“Fabricating soft materials at the millimeter scale paves way for medical and environmental tasks Roboticists are envisioning a future in which soft, animal-inspired robots could be safely deployed in difficult-to-access environments, such as in delicate surgical procedures in the human …
