Chinese physicists have developed an optical analog of a neuron using quantum dots, capable of processing information at a speed of 10 gigabits per second. This innovation marks a breakthrough in optical computing and opens new possibilities for artificial intelligence. The results of the experiments, published in the journal Optica, demonstrate the high potential of […
Scientists in Singapore have advanced the technology for creating insect cyborgs by automating their mass production. A robot equipped with computer vision can assemble one controllable cockroach in just 68 seconds. Electronics are implanted into the insect with consideration of its unique anatomy, enabling the robo-cockroaches to execute commands such
Researchers from Hong Kong University have developed a groundbreaking device—a VR lollipop capable of simulating taste sensations without the need for real food. Weighing just 15 grams, the device is shaped like a traditional lollipop and contains gel capsules infused with various flavor components, such as sugar, salt, citric acid, passionfruit, cherry, green tea, milk, […
Engineers in Hong Kong have developed an innovative sensor inspired by the abilities of weakly electric fish, such as mormyrids, which detect objects using electric fields. Designed for use in robotics and smart prosthetics, the sensor enables three-dimensional positioning of objects without direct contact. The system consists of two layers: one generates an electric field, […
Google researchers have made significant advancements in quantum computing, demonstrating that properly implemented error correction methods can dramatically enhance quantum processor accuracy. The Willow quantum processor, featuring 105 qubits, solved a problem in five minutes that would take the best supercomputers 10 septillion years to complete.
Australian researchers have developed a groundbreaking rechargeable proton battery that maintains efficiency even in freezing conditions. Central to this innovation is tetraaminobenzoquinone (TABQ), a modified organic compound derived from tetrachlorobenzoquinone (TCBQ). While TCBQ’s lightweight structure makes it promising, its limited redox potential has restricted its use—until now.
