One step closer to complex quantum teleportation

Austrian scientists are pursuing the idea to use more complex quantum systems. The developed methods and technologies could in the future enable the teleportation of complex quantum systems.

Scientists Worldwide Are Getting Serious About Quantum Internet

Just last week Dutch scientists revealed a plan to connect four cities with a quantum link by 2020. Today, US scientists announced that they plan to set up a quantum link across a 30-mile distance.

New driverless car technologies could lead to a world without traffic lights

Imagine a daily commute that's orderly instead of chaotic. Connected and automated vehicles could provide that relief by adjusting to driving conditions with little to no input from drivers.

Groundbreaking new technology could allow 100-times-faster internet

Th world-first nanophotonic device encodes more data and processes it much faster than conventional fiber optics by using a special form of 'twisted' light.

Exoskeleton aims to cut workers' strains, will be tested in factories

Hyundai will now be looking at an upper body system, the Hyundai Vest Exoskeleton (H-VEX). The soon-to-be introduced H-VEX exoskeleton is for workers in jobs that require a lot of arm lifting.

Facebook is working on an augmented reality headset

Revving up its hardware efforts, social networking giant Facebook is now planning to build its own Augmented Reality (AR) glasses to bring virtual friends to our homes.

The world's smallest optical gyroscope

A new tiny optical gyroscope fits on the tip of your finger and could find its way into drones and spacecraft in the future.

First proof of quantum computer advantage

Scientists have now demonstrated for the first time that quantum computers do indeed offer advantages - they developed a quantum circuit that can solve a problem that is unsolvable using any equivalent classical circuit.

Ultra-light gloves let users 'touch' virtual objects

Swiss scientists have developed an ultra-light glove - weighing less than 8 grams per finger - that enables users to feel and manipulate virtual objects. Their system provides extremely realistic haptic feedback.

MIT’s $1 billion college will teach the theory and ethics of AI

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology in US announced that it's launching a college which is specifically focused on the "ethical evolution" of AI that is already affecting and shaping our society.

Parkour robot

Robot Atlas does parkour. The control software uses the whole body including legs, arms and torso, to marshal the energy and strength for jumping over the log and leaping up the steps without breaking its pace.

Scientists Create Quantum Life on Five-Qubit IBM Computer

Spanish researchers claim they have successfully mimicked Darwinian evolution using a quantum computer.

Robotic Skin Brings Inanimate Objects to Life

Typically, robots are built to perform a single task. To make them more adaptable, US researchers have developed a kind of “robotic skin” that transforms ordinary objects into multifunctional robots.

Emerging Tech Will Create More Jobs Than It Kills by 2022

The advancement of robotics and artificial intelligence will make 75 million jobs obsolete by the year 2022. But the same report goes on to predict the creation of 133 million new jobs over the same period.

Google and Harvard use AI to predict earthquake aftershocks

Scientists from Harvard and Google have devised a method to predict where earthquake aftershocks may occur, using a trained neural network.
