When it comes to performing a calculation destined to arrive at an exact result, humans are hopelessly inferior to the computer. In other areas, humans are…
However a major challenge in developing these technologies is that the quantum phenomena are very fragile, and only a handful of physical systems have been…
Conventional IT applications are based on electric charge currents. “This results inevitably in energy losses heating up the environment” said MLU physicist…
Your friendly neighborhood hummingbirds. If drones had this combo, they would be able to maneuver better through collapsed buildings and other cluttered spaces…
A technology that functions like a brain? In these times of artificial intelligence, this no longer seems so far-fetched – for example, when a mobile phone can…
We've become accustomed to our smartwatches and smartphones sensing what our bodies are doing, be it walking, driving or sleeping. But what about our hands? It…
Photons barely interact with the environment, making them a leading candidate for storing and transmitting quantum information. This same feature makes it…
Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have succeeded in developing a key constituent of a novel unconventional computing concept. This…
It has been few years since physical key boards have been replaced by on-screen touch sensors for wireless devices such as cellular phones. This even-tually…
Marine Skin is a thin, flexible, lightweight polymer-based material with integrated electronics which can track an animal's movement and diving behavior and…
Only a few years ago, the astronomy and heliophysics communities were skeptical about whether CubeSats could reliably obtain scientific data. But these…
Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley have built a new photonic switch that can control the direction of light passing through optical fibers…
In the course of their first annual meeting, the ICNAP partners ranked three subject areas as being in particularly urgent need of attention and selected them…
The way power is generated is in transition: Whereas, before, all our power came from big power plants, these days it comes from a range of distributed sources…
The car of tomorrow will drive itself. Passengers will move down the road as if being driven by a private chauffeur while enjoying conversation, reading a…
We have a growing number of devices around us in our everyday life that contain small embedded computer systems. Many of these devices are able to access the…
