A team from Australia have found a "quantum hack" - a way to modify qubit surface codes, improving quantum error correction by up to four hundred per cent.
The new project in South Australia is using Tesla’s residential battery system, the Powerwall, to create decentralized energy storage, which results in creating a massive virtual power plant.
The battery went live on 1st December 2017 and has proved itself as a worthy investment in a matter of days.
Few universities have gone as far as the University of New South Wales in Australia, which just inked an ambitious deal to get 100% of its energy from solar power.
The $650 million, 150 megawatt solar plant has received state development approval and construction on the project will begin in 2018.
A Railroad Company is putting a disused track to work again with a restored "derelict heritage train" that has been converted to be 100% solar powered.
Qantas recently announced it will operate the world’s first bio-fuel flight between the United States and Australia. The Los Angeles to Melbourne flight will take place early next year.
Elon Musk wins bet, finishing massive battery installation in 100 days in Australia.
Researchers have discovered a simple technique to make atomically thin flakes of material. The breakthrough, published in Science, is expected to lead to faster, more energy efficient electronics.
A new smart home controller has been launched on the Australian market with the claim that it offers a number of features that differentiate it from competing products, such as those from Apple and Google.
Tesla has won its first contract with Vestas, the world’s largest wind turbine maker, to supply its Powerpack batteries for the world’s first project to combine solar power, wind power, and Tesla’s storage technology.
The 2017 World Solar Challenge came to a close last Friday, but the race to build the world’s first commercial, road-registered, consumer friendly solar passenger vehicles is only just gearing up.
42 cars, in three categories, from 21 countries race for 3-7 days using mainly solar power.
The project grew out of a Twitter bet between Mike Cannon-Brookes and Elon Musk. Musk promised to deliver a system to South Australia “in 100 days or its free.” Last week Tesla announced the start of its 100-days countdown.
Researchers at Australia university were able to store light waves as sound waves on a microchip, which could bring us closer to light-based computers.
