Rigid elements are holding soft robots back from their full potential, and new research suggests swapping in fluid-based systems.
Results for "computers"
Three distinct molecular qubits in one supramolecule
A molecular complex was built to contain three distinct qubits, offering an intriguing architecture for future quantum computers.
Single photons light up quantum encryption
Exploiting defects in 2D hexagonal boron nitride to create reliable single photons, researchers have upped their quantum encryption game.
Replicating learning in electronic devices
Researchers demonstrate learning behaviour in a solid-state device that is entirely controlled by electrical stimuli.
Ultra-cold atoms help test fundamental theory of solids
Cold ytterbium atoms were used to test a fundamental theory which describes phenomena in solids such as magnetism and superconductivity.
Recycling rare earth elements from discarded electronics
A novel recycling process recovers valuable rare earth elements from scrap, minimizing the need for harmful mining operations.
Quantum bits that exist in two time dimensions
Extra time dimensions provide scientists with a new way to think about phases of matter for more stable qubits and robust quantum computers.
Ada Lovelace, prophet of the computer age
Credited as one of the first computer scientists, Ada Lovelace saw the potential of computers a century before any were ever built.
Embedding data in quantum states for machine learning
Quantum computing to process large amounts of data tested by bringing together complementary and versatile quantum processors.
Robotic eyes unconstrained by human perception
Forcing robots to see through a human’s eyes is limiting. Smart robotic eyes that can think for themselves could be the answer.
