New research shows that metasurfaces could be used as strong linear quantum optical networks This approach could eliminate the need for waveguides and other conventional optical components Graph theory is helpful for designing the functionalities of quantum optical networks into a single metasurface In the race toward practical quantum computersContinue Reading
Imagine trying to wear a left-handed glove on your right hand: it doesn’t fit because left and right hands are mirror images that can’t be superimposed on each other. This ‘handedness’ is what scientists call chirality, and it plays a fundamental role in biology, chemistry, and materials science. Most DNAContinue Reading
Sandia National Laboratories has joined a new partnership aimed at helping the United States regain its leadership in semiconductor manufacturing. While the U.S. was considered a powerhouse in chip production in the 1990s, fabricating more than 35% of the world’s semiconductors, that share has since dropped to 12%. Today, theContinue Reading
Scientists based at the AWS Center for Quantum Computing on Caltech’s campus have made a leap forward in figuring out how to suppress errors in quantum computers, a pesky problem that continues to be the greatest hurdle to building the machines of the future. Quantum computers, which are based onContinue Reading
UC Santa Barbara researchers are working to move cold atom quantum experiments and applications from the laboratory tabletop to chip-based systems, opening new possibilities for sensing, precision timekeeping, quantum computing and fundamental science measurements. “We’re at the tipping point,” said electrical and computer engineering professor Daniel Blumenthal. In an invitedContinue Reading
Oregon State University College of Engineering researchers have developed a more efficient chip as an antidote to the vast amounts of electricity consumed by large-language-model artificial intelligence applications like Gemini and GPT-4. “We have designed and fabricated a new chip that consumes half the energy compared to traditional designs,” saidContinue Reading
A new AI chip developed at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) works without the cloud server or internet connections needed by existing chips. The AI Pro, designed by Prof Hussam Amrouch, is modelled on the human brain. Its innovative neuromorphic architecture enables it to perform calculations on the spot,Continue Reading
How can we investigate the effects of a new drug? How can we better understand the interaction between different organs to grasp the systemic response? In biomedical research, so-called organs-on-a-chip, also referred to as microphysiological systems, are becoming increasingly important: by cultivating tissue structures in precisely controlled microfluidic chips, itContinue Reading
Antonio Bordunovi Chipmakers and designers such as NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) and Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) have seen impressive run ups in their stocks over the past few months, thanks largely to the AI revolution stoking increased demand for their products. Since the beginning of the year, NVIDIA (NVDA) sharesContinue Reading
JasonDoiy Samsung (OTCPK:SSNLF) received an order from Tokyo-based AI firm Preferred Networks to make chips for AI applications using the South Korean company’s 2-nanometer foundry process and advanced 2.5D packaging technology Interposer-Cube S (I-Cube S). Samsung noted that the chips will be manufactured using a chip architecture called Gate-All-Around, orContinue Reading
