This ’90s-Era Quantum Computing Idea Could Lead to a Massive Breakthrough
Quantinuum, a leader in the nascent field of quantum computing, said Thursday it advanced a key technique for correcting errors in calculations done by the advanced machines, a development essential for them to fulfill their revolutionary potential. A Broomfield, Colorado-based team improved its handling of qubits, the machines’ fundamental data storage and processing elements. Last…

The Information Revolution Put Tech Disciplines at the Center — But Now It Needs the Humanities
As technology achieves more milestones and reaches a certain critical mass, I believe humanities are about to make a long-awaited comeback. Here’s why No university campus is complete without a fierce rivalry between STEM and humanities students — and it’s fair to say that the scientists have been winning the competition for a long time…

Artificial intelligence and why astronomers don’t look through a telescope anymore
As a child I had the opportunity to utilize the two-meter Faulkes Telescope in Siding Spring, Australia. I remember it was a very thrilling experience seeing the telescope move via a live webcam. I would input sky coordinates, and over the course of a minute, the telescope would slowly tilt toward the object. I couldn’t…

A breakthrough 3D-printed material incredibly strong and ductile
A dual-phase, nanostructured high-entropy alloy that has been 3D printed by researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the Georgia Institute of Technology is stronger and more ductile than other cutting-edge additively manufactured materials. This discovery could lead to higher-performance components for use in aerospace, medicine, energy, and transportation. The research was published online…

The Rise of BCI Enables Advances in Neuroscience
Conor Russomanno hadn’t stopped wondering about the effects of the multiple concussions he’d suffered playing football and rugby at Columbia University. In 2011, less than a year after his last severe hit, he had passed a neurologist’s standardized test of cognition, but he still wasn’t himself, at least not all the time. “My mind [was]…

Nanotechnology Advances Regenerative Medicine: Bone Formation Comes Down to the Nanowire
New nanotechnology that accelerates the transition of stem cells into bone could transform regenerative medicine. A nanotechnology platform developed by King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST) scientists could lead to new treatments for degenerative bone diseases. The technique relies on iron nanowires that bend in response to magnetic fields. Bone-forming stem cells grown…
