Even if you're enjoying gloriously fast broadband at home wherever you live in the world, you're still going to be a long, long way behind the new record for data transmission: an incredible 1.02 petabits per second. …
You are no doubt viewing this article on a digital device whose basic unit of information is the bit, either 0 or 1. Scientists worldwide are racing to develop a new kind of computer based on the use of quantum bits, or qubits, …
China's industry ministry has announced a 6-month campaign to clean up what it says are serious problems with internet apps violating consumer rights, cyber security and "disturbing market order." The M…
Durham, Toronto and Princeton Universities have teamed up with NASA and the Canadian Space Agency to build a new kind of astronomical telescope. SuperBIT flies above 99.5% of the Earth's atmosphere, carried by a helium ba…
A “molecular volume knob” that regulates electrical signals in the brain helps with learning and memory, according to a Dartmouth study. The molecular system controls the width of electrical signals that flow across …
Scientists have observed the fifth state of matter in space for the first time, offering unprecedented insight that could help solve some of the quantum universe's most intractable conundrums, research showed Thursday. Bose-Einstein conden…
A scientist at the University of Sydney has achieved what one quantum industry insider has described as "something that many researchers thought was impossible." Dr Benjamin Brown from the School of Physics has developed a type of error…
A recent discovery by University of Arkansas physicists could help researchers establish the existence of quantum spin liquids, a new state of matter. They’ve been a mystery since they were first proposed in the 1970s. If proven to exist, quantum s…
The study of political polarization, which has emerged around the world, may have much to gain from the use of some tools and formulas used by physics. [Image: MIT] It may seem surprising, but theories and formulas derived from physics can be use…
Large scale integrated circuit (LSI) prototypes straight out of the printer. [Image: Thor Balkhed] Printed electronics Swedish researchers say they have taken the missing step to bring electronic circuit printing from the laboratory to the fact…
Interlaced 3D light beams allow for quantum operations at room temperature and macro scale Optical quantum processor Two international teams, working separately, built prototypes of quantum processors made of light. Qubits formed by intertwi…
Automated stupidity Despite the many concerns about artificial intelligence and its growing role in society, the fact is that today's generation of artificial intelligence programs is not at all intelligent . There are basically two types o…
The material inside the cube forms complex patterns that give the answer to the calculation directly. [Image: Hudson et al. - 10.1038 / s41467-019-10166-4] Computation with light Canadian researchers have developed an unprecedented and incredib…
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba investigate a new method for generating coherent signals in silicon chips using laser-induced vibrations which may greatly accelerate the development of new quantum computers with superior performance A t…
The quantum teleportation longer works experimentally with 100% reliability [Image: Hanson Lab / TUDelft]. Universal money A new kind of money, more versatile and safer than the current crypto-coins, promises to give users the ability to make i…
Doubles of humans captured an average of 16 flags less than the doubles of bots of artificial intelligence. [Image: DeepMind] Researchers at Google's DeepMind have created virtual players, or bots , who learned alone - without any prior instr…
