New Record-Crushing Battery Lasts 1.9 Million Km in Electric Cars

Chinese company CATL says it has new battery technology that lasts up to 2 million kilometers and 16 years—and it’s ready to manufacture the batteries on demand. The battery could power a car for 50 trips around the world.

The World's First Large-Scale Quantum Computer To Be

An ambitious plan to build a quantum computer the size of a soccer field could soon become a reality. A startup founded by the researchers behind the idea has just come out of stealth with $4.5 million in funding.

Electron 'teleportation' could push quantum computing forward

Quantum teleportation is an key way to transmit info in quantum computing. In a new step forward, researchers say it may be possible between electrons.

Engineers put tens of thousands of brain synapses on a single chip

Such brain-inspired circuits could be built into small, portable devices, and would carry out complex computational tasks that only today's supercomputers can handle.

World's fastest internet speed from a single optical chip

Researchers have successfully tested and recorded Australia's fastest internet data speed, and that of the world, from a single optical chip - capable of downloading 1000 high definition movies in a split second.

A World-Class Supercomputer Exclusively for OpenAI

Last year, Microsoft announced a billion-dollar investment in OpenAI. This year the company said they’d completed a supercomputer exclusively for OpenAI’s machine learning research.

New Microscope Directly Images Protein Atoms

Two laboratories recently used cryo-electron microscopy to directly image atoms in a protein molecule with a resolution of about 1.2 x 10-7 millimeters.

Elon Musk says Neuralink will do brain implants 'within a year'

Elon Musk has a vision of linking human brains to computers in order to avoid our species from being outpaced by artificial intelligence – and this dream is set to become a reality.

First Working Prototype Of A 'Quantum Radar'

The device works along the same principles as a normal radar, except instead of sending out radio waves to scan an area, it uses pairs of entangled photons. 

China's first set of 3D printing tests in space

China’s first in-orbit 3D printing test involved producing continuous carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites. This is the first time this has been done in space by anyone.

The World's Biggest Social Virtual Reality Gathering

Virtual Market 4, or V-Ket 4 for short, is a Japanese expo that spans 36 separate worlds contained within the VRChat ecosystem. To date, VRChat is by far the most popular and used social VR application.

Possible Practical Quantum Computers

Most quantum computers being developed around the world will only work at fractions of a degree above absolute zero. Now the researchers developed a quantum processor unit cell that works at 1.5 Kelvin.
