This illustration shows the nano-mechanical devices the researchers developed. Inspired by neurons, they can perform computing tasks with high energy efficiency. Image: Emily Theobald MIT researchers have created a new computing platform that could be used to develop intelligent and adaptive next-generation electronics that can simultaneously perform multiple functions, like computing and memory, all within one extremely compact, energy-efficient device. Such a platform opens

Breakthrough from a team led by Jacob Covey, associate professor in the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Department of Physics, turns helium-3’s low mass into a quantum resource

Courtesy of the National Science Foundation The NSF's Quantum Leap Challenge Institutes are taking on some of the hardest scientific hurdles in the global race to create powerful quantum-based technologies. Two UCLA computer scientists will help lead major national efforts to address some of quantum computing’s biggest challenges, serving as co-principal investigators for separate research institutes backed by five-year, $37.5 million grants from the National Science Foundati

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have achieved precise electrical control of molecular spins on surfaces, marking a significant advance for quantum technologies. Using electron spin resonance combined with scanning tunneling microscopy on iron phthalocyanine molecules, the team demonstrated effective spin-electric coupling via applied voltage. This approach replaces conventional magnetic fields, enabling faster and more localized manipulation of quan
