Scientists in Australia say they've cracked a key hurdle facing the the development of scalable quantum computers and practical quantum data storage.

D-Wave says its new Advantage2 processor, which is designed for complex applications in AI, optimization and data science, is faster and more accurate than its existing 5,000-qubit system.

Scientists in China have developed a tensor processing unit (TPU) that uses carbon-based transistors instead of silicon – and they say it's extremely energy efficient.

IQM's quantum processor achieved 99.9% fidelity in recent tests, the company says. Here's what that actually means.

The Taichi-II chiplet, which could one day power super-intelligent AI models, ups the ante in light-based processing.

Scientists have transmitted quantum data and conventional internet data through the same fiber-optic channel for the first time.

A new material can withstand 'billions' of electrical cycles without wearing out — and scientists say it could transform electronics within 10 to 20 years.

By performing computations directly inside memory cells, CRAM will dramatically reduce power demands for AI workloads. Scientists claim it's a solution to AI's huge energy consumption.

New ion-trap chip eschews lasers for an integrated circuit that can be mass produced in existing semiconductor factories.

Scientists observed record-breaking electron mobility — seven times higher than in conventional semiconductors — with a material made from the same elements as quartz and gold.

Microsoft's VALL-E 2 can convincingly recreate human voices using just a few seconds of audio, its creators claim.

The new mechanical computer uses 64 physical cubes to represent binary bits and is inspired by kirigami — the Japanese art of paper-folding and cutting.

Engineers say they have created a design for a robot capable of jumping 400 feet into the air — and it could one day be heading for space.

Researchers have developed an imaging chip for mobile devices that uses high-frequency radio waves to ‘see’ through objects.

Prototype quantum photonic-dimer laser uses entanglement to bind photons and deliver a powerful beam of concentrated light that can shine through adverse weather like thick fog.

The desktop-sized LPU100 eschews traditional electronics and qubits in favor of lasers, and it can reportedly perform complex AI calculations in nanoseconds.

China’s supersized superconducting chip looks to match the performance of industry leaders like IBM and will be used to help scale up the performance of quantum computers globally.

Scientists have developed a method for creating 3D holograms using "incoherent light" emitted from mobile devices — turning iPhone 14 Pro into a projector.

A new type of hybrid sodium-ion battery that offers both high capacity and rapid-charging capabilities could power mobile devices, electric vehicles and space tech.
