Experiments on Google's 67-qubit Sycamore processor showed operations entering a new "weak noise phase" in which calculations were complex enough to outperform supercomputers, based on benchmark testing.

AI development is accelerating — with some scientists suggesting machines will be more intelligent than the smartest humans within the next few years.

From disaster recovery to conservation and healthcare, plenty of AI projects will greatly benefit humanity, Microsoft experts Juan M. Lavista Ferres and William B. Weeks say.

AGI could be on the horizon thanks to a novel computing architecture that completely redefines how artificial neurons form an intelligent system.

Scientists have just theorized how to connect quantum processors over vast distances to form a giant quantum computing network that acts as a single machine.

The "xMEMS XMC-2400 µCooling" chip aims to keep future smartphones from overheating as they become more powerful.

New record-breaking fast-charging technology can power up your smartphone battery quicker than you can write an email.

The 56-qubit H2-1 computer has broken the previous record in the 'quantum supremacy' benchmark first set by Google in 2019.

Scientists engineer the 'purest ever silicon' to build reliable qubits that can be manufactured to the size of a pinhead on a chip and power million-qubit quantum computers in the future.

How can we truly know if AI is sentient? We do not yet fully understand the nature of human consciousness, so we cannot discount the possibility that today's AI is indeed sentient — and that we are mistreating it to potentially grave consequences.

Scientists built a "smart filter" that can work with a cheap smartphone camera to transform low-resolution photos into supersharp images without glare and other issues.

Scientists in Japan have transferred data at 100 gigabits per second in high-frequency wavelength bands over a distance of 330 feet for the first time.

Scientists have designed a physical qubit that behaves as an error-correcting "logical qubit," and now they think they can scale it up to make a useful quantum computer using a few hundred.

Mercedes-Benz has sold at least one of its new vehicles fitted with its Drive Pilot autonomous driving software, which lets you take your hands off the steering wheel and your eyes off the road.

Scientists want to replace electrons with so-called 'nanobubbles' — or skyrmions — to store data more densely and efficiently in advanced memory components that would replace RAM and flash storage.

Intel's Hala Point neuromorphic computer is powered by more than 1,000 new AI chips and performs 50 times faster than equivalent conventional computing systems.

Boston Dynamics replaces its flagship humanoid robot after 10 years with a completely new machine that looks like the Pixar lamp with a mechanical humanoid body.

Using pulse current charging, or a constant current divided with a few short breaks, lithium-ion batteries hold up better over hundreds of charging cycles and can last twice as long.

The creators of the Taichi chiplet claim it's more energy-efficient and scalable than other photonic components and can be used to train superhuman AI models in the future.

Short, stumpy robots learned how to play soccer — and improved their skills dramatically thanks to a new AI training technique that combines several pre-existing methods.

IBM's latest System One quantum computer is based at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and is the 1st IBM quantum machine to be installed at a university campus in the U.S.
