Math Riddle From the 1980’s Finally Solved – Could Be Used to Improve Phones and Computers
(scitechdaily.com)
Researchers thought that they were five years away from solving a math riddle from the 1980s. In reality, and without knowing, they had nearly cracked the problem already. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) thought that they were five years aw...
Christmas Cookie Conundrum: The Ever-Elusive Riddle Even Math Experts Have Given Up on Solving
(scitechdaily.com)
At some point in life, most people have stood over a rolled-out slab of cookie dough and pondered just how to best cut out cookies with as little waste as possible. Now, even math experts have given up on finding a computer algorithm to answer this type of geometric problem. How can we maximize doug...
Major Computing Breakthrough: Copenhagen Researchers Can Now Achieve “Quantum Advantage”
(scitechdaily.com)
University of Copenhagen researchers have advanced their quantum technology to such a degree that classical computing technology can no longer keep up. They have developed a chip that, with financial backing, could be scaled up and used to build the quantum simulator of the future. Their results are...
Important Milestone in the Creation of a Quantum Computer That Uses Transistors As Qubits
(scitechdaily.com)
A team at the Niels Bohr Institute has achieved a significant milestone in quantum computing by demonstrating control of single electrons in a 2D array of quantum dots made with industrial transistors. One of the obstacles for progress in the quest for a working quantum computer has been that the wo...
MIT scientists show how fast algorithms are improving across a broad range of examples, demonstrating their critical importance in advancing computing. Algorithms are sort of like a parent to a computer. They tell the computer how to make sense of information so they can, in turn, make something use...
2D array of electron and nuclear spin qubits opens a new frontier in quantum science. Researchers have opened a new frontier in quantum science and technology by using photons and electron spin qubits to control nuclear spins in a two-dimensional material. This will enable applications like atomic-s...
Interview with Michael Nielsen, Quantum Physicist, Author, and Open Science Advocate
(heritageproject.caltech.edu)
A researcher from Notre Dame advises that we should move past the excitement and examine how virtual reality could enhance the efficiency of scientists. However, in order to harness these advantages, researchers need to carefully strategize and sidestep possible drawbacks. In 2021, Facebook brought ...
High-resolution synapse imaging uncovers astrocyte dysfunction in Huntington’s disease, paving the way for new insights into neurodegeneration and therapeutic interventions. Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D images of the synapse, the important juncture where neurons communicate wi...
Researchers advocate for better system architecture, automated problem resolution, and increased user involvement in IT development to create more efficient and frustration-free technology. Although our computers have significantly improved over the past 15 years, they still malfunction 11 to 20 per...
Open-Science Triumph: “COVID Moonshot” Discovers New Antivirals To Treat COVID-19
(scitechdaily.com)
