3+ hour, 26+ min ago   (324+ words) A new book is aiming to inspire teenagers by showcasing the work of leading scientists. Written by award-winning mechanical engineer Dr Shini Somara, the book is based on interviews with scientists tackling some of the most pressing challenges of the…...

2+ hour, 18+ min ago   (173+ words) Lotte Group and KAIST have jointly opened a new research and development center, bolstering their industry-to-academia ties while ramping up capabilities for se...

1+ hour, 20+ min ago   (27+ words) Most technological revolutions arrive with plenty of noise. The internet came with buzzing modems and …...

2+ hour, 26+ min ago   (709+ words) Quantum machine learning has long promised a new kind of computational power, but a quieter revolution is now underway at the intersection of quantum algorithms and data privacy....

2+ hour, 26+ min ago   (649+ words) Every quantum network ever proposed faces the same awkward problem: the superconducting circuits that store and process quantum information speak in microwaves, while the optical fibers that carry signals across cities and continents speak in light....

8+ hour, 54+ min ago   (417+ words) Physicists have uncovered an in-plane Hall response that overturns a century-old assumption about how this famous electrical effect works. The discovery could eventually make multidirectional magnetic sensing possible with one tiny device....

5+ hour, 13+ min ago   (581+ words) A quantum bit that has lost its coherence is usually written off as a casualty of its noisy environment, but a new theoretical study argues that this verdict is often premature — and, more importantly, predictable....

6+ hour, 47+ min ago   (625+ words) Silicon has long dominated the solar industry, but its fundamental physics imposes hard limits on how much sunlight a single-junction cell can convert into electricity. Photons with less energy than silicon’s band gap simply pass through the material, while photons…...

11+ hour, 21+ min ago   (491+ words) After helping to kickstart quantum computing, NEC is backing out NEC has reportedly stopped building physical quantum computers after roughly three decades of research into superconducting circuits and solid-state qubit technology. The Japanese technology company is instead expected to concentrate…...

8+ hour, 4+ min ago   (795+ words) A team of cryptographers in China has unveiled the first publicly verifiable encryption scheme capable of withstanding the most aggressive class of attacks against encrypted cloud backups, a breakthrough that could reshape how organizations prove the integrity of duplicated data…...
