Machine learning unveils the ideal structure of a quantum memristor, which could one day surpass current computing systems.
Technology
World’s purest silicon chip could make quantum computers error-free
A new method to purify silicon for quantum computer chips could solve one of the biggest challenges in quantum computing.
Teaching old magnetic cilia new tricks
These hair-like structures with applications in robotics are now reprogrammable, negating the need to replace them after one use.
Are quantum communications truly unhackable? Study suggests otherwise
In theory, quantum communications should be impossible to hack, but study shows this may not be true in practice.
This haptic sleeve is moving wearable technology beyond smartwatches
A haptic sleeve combines a new kind of on-demand information with soft textiles, taking haptic technology to new levels.
A brain–computer interface could slow cognitive decline
This new brain–computer interface detects weakened brain signals and boosts them to healthy levels, potentially reversing cognitive aging in the brain.
Future biohybrid robots to be powered by living muscle tissue
These biohybrid machines combine robotics with living tissues to create flexible robots powered by biology.
These “living” contact lenses self lubricate to avoid dry eyes
Bacterial biofactories embedded in the rim of the lens continually produce hyaluronic acid, a natural lubricant, to keep the contacts moist.
Quantum proofing passwords and artwork with DNA encryption
Chaotic pools of DNA could be the future of encryption, proving authenticity of artwork or securing passwords against quantum computers.
How the bias in algorithms can help us spot our own
People recognize their own biases in algorithms’ decisions more than they do in their own—even when those decisions are the same.
