Picture a future where factories can create materials and chemical compounds more quickly, at lower cost, and with fewer production steps. Imagine your laptop processing complex data in seconds or a supercomputer learning and adapting as efficiently as the human brain. These possibilities depend on one fundamental factor: how electronsContinue Reading
Scientists at the U. S. Department of Energy Ames National Laboratory and Iowa State University have discovered an unexpected “quantum echo” in a superconducting material. This discovery provides insight into quantum behaviors that could be used for next-generation quantum sensing and computing technologies. Superconductors are materials that carry electricity withoutContinue Reading
UBC researchers are proposing a solution to a key hurdle in quantum networking: a device that can “translate” microwave to optical signals and vice versa. The technology could serve as a universal translator for quantum computers — enabling them to talk to each other over long distances and converting upContinue Reading
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Silicon is king in the semiconductor technology that underpins smartphones, computers, electric vehicles and more, but its crown may be slipping according to a team led by researchers at Penn State. In a world first, they used two-dimensional (2D) materials, which are only an atom thickContinue Reading
Climate tech startups are companies that use technology and innovation to address the climate crisis, with a primary focus on either reducing greenhouse gas emissions or helping society adapt to climate change impacts. Their unifying mission is to create scalable solutions that accelerate the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future.Continue Reading
Every second counts when it comes to detecting and treating heart attacks. That’s where a new technology from the University of Mississippi comes in to identify heart attacks faster and more accurately than traditional methods. In a study published in Intelligent Systems, Blockchain and Communication Technologies, electrical and computer engineeringContinue Reading
Legal professionals often spend a significant portion of their work searching through and analyzing large documents to draw insights, prepare arguments, create drafts, and compare documents. The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has brought an inflection of foundation models (FMs). These FMs, with simple instructions (prompts), can perform variousContinue Reading
