A poet tries to represent the laws of a topological quantum computer through poetry.  The poem translates the quantum physics in both its visual structure and word choices. Poetry is a nuanced form in which language is used for its aesthetic qualities instead of semantic and notional content. The

Researchers use brain-inspired methods to effectively detect the signals at the receiver’s end. It’s based on the Echo State Network that offers high performance while consuming less energy. Scientists are always seeking more efficient and more reliable communications, for everything from mobile

New algorithm named Squirrel detects weaknesses in the power grid.  It can be applied to all types of hazards, including earthquake, malicious attack, and obstruction caused by squirrels.  What conditions and failures in the infrastructure of electric grids could lead to a dramatic blackout? And

New ghost imaging method measures which gas is present in the atmosphere and at what quantity, with far better accuracy.  It doesn’t require extremely sensitive detectors and powerful light sources to work.  Measuring greenhouse gases in the atmosphere like carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitr

To obtain superfluorescence on-demand, researchers used quantum dots made of lead halide perovskites. They conducted optical experiments at -267°C, which gave the final evidence of superfluorescence. A few materials have a tendency to continuously emit light when they are excited by a laser or an

Researchers develop a new laser architecture named universal light modulator to probe and control matter.  It could be a turning point for all major photonic applications that require high power.  Lasers are used for several purposes, including aligning materials, pointing out objects during a pr

The Microsoft vs Apple is one of the most controversial topics for more than 3 decades. It’s a war that has raged across time and space. Which is better? Is there even a true winner? Some of these questions cannot be answered, but this page will provide some interesting facts and statistics of worl

A new type of membrane requires much lower pressure than standard membranes to filter suspended particles from water.  It lasts 3 times longer and saves twice as much energy than conventional transmembrane. Water purification techniques decrease the concentration of certain matter like bacteria,

New technique uses Genetic algorithms to minimize the electromagnetic scattering of the object by infusing filler within it. It makes both the object and the filler invisible. Due to recent advances in material engineering, scientists are showing more interest in the field of invisibility. Altho

Researchers loaded 3D-printed structures of porous graphene aerogel with manganese oxide.  This enabled them to capture an ultrahigh energy storage capacity into a small area.  The energy densities are equivalent to that of some traditional batteries.  Pseudocapacitors are a type of energy storag

Researchers design a theoretical method to improve quantum computing performance. The method is known as Dynamical Decoupling and it worked on 2 small-scale quantum computers. It doesn’t require encoding overhead and works by transforming quantum gates into decoupling pulse. The concept of quantu

A child android robot named Affetto was first introduced in 2011.  Researchers have upgraded this robot to achieve more human-like facial expressions.   They analyzed over 100 points on Affetto’s face and added a variety of expressions like frowning and smiling.  Robot faces are one of the most c

Researchers demonstrate a new type of video-to-video synthesis. It allows developers to render fully interactive 3D environments from real-world videos.   It can create 30-seconds long videos of 2K resolution.  Almost two decades ago, NVIDIA came up with the world’s first GPU, offering a signific

New machine learning algorithm focuses on news sources rather than just scraping individual claims, to detect fake and bias news.  For new news articles, it achieved an accuracy of up to 70%.  It requires only 150 contents to determine whether the source can be trusted or not.  Social media platf

IBM develops an architecture of peer-to-peer, decentralized framework to autonomously control the hybrid IoT networks.  To cluster IoT devices into individual blockchains, they used the Bitcoin Proof-of-Work consensus protocol along with a novel code base.  Internet of Things (IoT) is heterogeneo

A new method would remove the visual distortions in 3D displays without additional heavier optics.  The system creates a clear, 3D image in space which makes it suitable for AR applications.  We mostly interact with digital content through keyboards and 2D touch panels. However, technologies like
