Princeton researchers have created a superconducting qubit that stays stable more than three times longer than previous designs, marking a major leap toward practical quantum computers. Credit: Shutterstock Princeton engineers extended qubit lifetimes using a…
Researchers at Swinburne have developed a fast new way to check whether certain quantum computers, specifically Gaussian Boson Samplers, are actually producing the results they claim, without waiting millennia for a supercomputer to verify them….
A new study finds that AI’s energy demands may have a much smaller climate impact than expected, with hints that AI could even accelerate greener technologies. Credit: Shutterstock Energy consumption in the U.S. is changing…
Researchers designed an ultrasonic system to “shake” water out of an atmospheric water harvester. The design (two prototypes shown in photo) can recover captured water in minutes rather than hours. Credit: Ikra Iftekhar MIT engineers…
Researchers have demonstrated a way to generate nighttime power by exploiting an often-overlooked temperature difference between Earth and the sky. Their approach uses a specialized engine to tap into this subtle energy flow, revealing possibilities…
University of Delaware engineers have shown that magnetic waves called magnons can create electric signals, bridging two key forces in computing. Their work points toward chips that operate faster and more efficiently by eliminating wasted…
An octopus camouflages itself with the seafloor. Credit: Charlotte Seid Using robotic evolution, UC San Diego scientists trained bacteria to produce more of the pigment that powers octopus camouflage. Genetic analysis revealed key mutations that…
A new ultra-flat lens challenges the limits of modern optics, capturing sharp color images once thought impossible. This breakthrough hints at a future where cameras are lighter, smaller, and smarter than ever before. Credit: Shutterstock…
An international team of mathematicians has developed a new predictive method called the Maximum Agreement Linear Predictor (MALP). Unlike traditional techniques that focus only on minimizing average errors, MALP optimizes the Concordance Correlation Coefficient to…
