An important milestone toward the realization of a large-scale quantum computer, and further demonstration of a new level of the quantum control of light, were just accomplished.
A new technology that allows wireless signals to be sent and received simultaneously on a single channel has been developed. The research could help build faster, more efficient communication networks, at least doubling the speed of existing networks.
University of Florida researchers say their supercomputer, named Novo-G, is the world

A robot freighter is poised to blast into the skies on Tuesday in the heftiest liftoff in Europe
Scientists have made a significant step towards an ultrafast quantum computer by successfully generating 10 billion bits of quantum entanglement in silicon for the first time -- entanglement is the key ingredient that promises to make quantum computers far more powerful than conventional computing devices.

A bonus round is something one usually associates with the likes of a TV game show, not a pioneering deep space mission. "We are definitely in the bonus round," said Stardust-NExT Project Manager Tim Larson of NASA
(PhysOrg.com) -- Minoru Asada, a professor of Adaptive Machine Systems at Osaka University in Japan and head of the JST ERATO Asada Project, along with two of his colleagues; Hisashi Ishihara, a PhD candidate at Osaka University; and Yuichiro Yoshikawa, from the Dept. of Adaptive Machine Systems at Osaka University have developed a child-like robot platform called Affetto.
Lacking any kind of pilot, this drone flew for 29 minutes, landing perfectly on target.
In the first published critical review of technical developments related to electronic paper devices (i.e., e-readers like the Amazon Kindle), experts review the next generation of these devices.
By DAVID GELERNTER If you want to repair a fancy race car at a pit stop, you could have a master mechanic go over the whole thing. Or you could hire a bunch of specialists—for the engine, brakes, suspension, tires—and have them swarm all over the car simultaneously. The crowd of specialists would do the job faster. And if you add more specialists (one for the front wheels, say, and one for the back), the job would go even faster. More Can a Computer Win on 'Jeopardy'? That's a big
Smaller and more energy-efficient electronic chips could be made using molybdenite. This material has distinct advantages over traditional silicon or graphene for use in electronics applications.
How do you use a scientific method to measure the intelligence of a human being, an animal, a machine or an extra-terrestrial? So far this has not been possible, but researchers have taken a first step towards this by presenting the foundations to be used as a basis for this method, and have also put forward a new intelligence test.
