“One of the ways that computers ‘think’ is by analysing relationships within large sets of data. CQT’s Jansen (Zhikuan) Zhao, Anupam Prakash and their collaborator have shown that quantum computers can do one such analysis faster than classical computers …
“Modifying surface codes can improve error correction 400 percent The instability of qubits - the building blocks of quantum computers - means they are susceptible to error. Our physicists have found that tweaking error coding can open the door to huge efficiency …
“RIKEN’s K computer simulated more than 11,000 compounds to find promising materials for a new type of solar cell Using one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, RIKEN researchers have identified a material that could boost the …
“New Terahertz techniques help to detect striped superconductivity above the superconducting transition temperature in cuprates. Understanding high temperature superconductivity (high Tc) has been a long-standing challenge since its discovery in copper oxide compounds in 1986. A key issue in addressing …
“Shaped like a spine, new design enables remarkable flexibility, high energy density, and stable voltage no matter how it is flexed or twisted The rapid development of flexible and wearable electronics is giving rise to an exciting range of applications …
“A team of researchers from Hokkaido University and Kansai University has developed DNA-assisted molecular robots that autonomously swarm in response to chemical and physical signals, paving the way for developing future nano-machines. The world’s smallest “swarm robot” measures …
“Researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Center for Computational Materials Science, working with an international team of physicists, have revealed that nanocrystals made of cesium lead halide perovskites (CsPbX3), is the first discovered material which the ground …
“MIT’s Mark Vogelsberger and an international astrophysics team have created a new model pointing to black holes’ role in galaxy formation. A supercomputer simulation of the universe has produced new insights into how black holes influence the distribution of …
“For Cristian Calude, doubt began with a puzzle so simple, he said, that “even a child can understand it.” Here it is: Suppose you have a mysterious box that takes one of two possible inputs — you can press a red …
“SpaceX has launched a Falcon 9 rocket loaded with a geocommunications satellite commissioned by the Government of Luxembourg. The satellite, created by Orbital STK and to be operated by SES, will support humanitarian and military operations for Luxembourg, among other …
