As China’s largest official scientific body, CAST’s claim to the world’s earliest computer is a big deal. It comes at a time ...

Corn is one of the world's most important crops, critical for food, feed, and industrial applications. In 2023, corn ...

Rapid advances in the kind of problems that quantum computers can tackle suggest that they are closer than ever to becoming ...

Third are sensory reconstruction interfaces, such as restoring hearing or vision. For patients who have lost sensory input, ...

Zooming in on the auditory cortex, the researchers found three unique sets of neurons that light up while we listen to music. Two sets of neurons encode absolute pitch (individual musical notes) and ...

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), in collaboration with UC Berkeley, have developed a new type of intelligent image sensor that can perform machine-learning inference ...

"There are still a lot of technical challenges remaining to get to a very large-scale computer with millions of qubits, but this is the first time we have an architecture that is conceptually scalable ...

Researchers at the quantum computing firm Quantinuum used a new Helios-1 quantum computer to simulate a mathematical model that has long been used to study superconductivity. These simulations are not ...

Abstract: Ego-motion estimation is a key requirement for the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem. The traditional pipeline goes through feature extraction, feature matching and pose ...

If you're anything like me, Steam's trailer function has been—for its entire lifespan—pretty much useless. Maybe I'm just cursed, but in my experience the player is laggy, impossible to scrub through, ...

Inspired by naturally occurring air bubbles in glaciers, researchers have developed a method to encode messages in ice. Publishing June 18 in the Cell Press journal Cell Reports Physical Science, the ...

Scientists have developed a method to control hybrid particles called polaritons - which behave like both light and matter - in a way that is less expensive and more practical to maintain. The ...
