From PlayStations to Porsches, many consumer products have been hit by a chip shortage that began choking the global economy in 2020, and continues today. “We aren’t even close to being out of the woods,” U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo tweeted last month. “The semiconductor supply chain is very fragile,…

Robots have all kinds of ways to change their shapes in the sense that you can use rigid components along with actuators to design a robot that can go from one shape to another. Such a system is inevitably highly complex, though, and typically requires a lot of mass plus…

Q&A: Here’s How AI Will Change Chip Design

The end of Moore’s Law is looming. Engineers and designers can do only so much to miniaturize transistors and pack as many of them as possible into chips. So they’re turning to other approaches to chip design, incorporating technologies like AI into the process.Samsung, for instance, is adding AI to…

Quantum computing is a devilishly complex technology, with many technical hurdles impacting its development. Of these challenges two critical issues stand out: miniaturization and qubit quality.IBM has adopted the superconducting qubit roadmap of reaching a 1,121-qubit processor by 2023, leading to the expectation that 1,000 qubits with today’s qubit form…

The 2x Gambit: IBM Tech Doubles Qubit Effectiveness

Using a new technique known as "entanglement forging," IBM researchers say they can halve the amount of quantum computing resources needed to run simulations, a new study finds. The nearest-term applications for quantum computers may be chemistry and physics simulations—for instance, simulating molecules to investigate novel battery designs or discover…

Copy of Terahertz Lasers Are About to Have a Moment

Despite lurking between microwaves and infrared, terahertz radiation is notoriously difficult to tap into for applications because of its peculiar physics. Over the past few decades, frequency tunable sources across this 0.3- to 3-terahertz range of the electromagnetic spectrum have remained elusive to researchers.“Electronic sources [of radiation] tend to get…

Moore’s Not Enough: 4 New Laws of Computing

4 Φεβρουαρίου 2022 by paulkokos

paulkokos

I teach technology and information systems courses at Northeastern University in Boston. The two most popular laws that we teach there—and, one presumes, in most other academic departments that offer these subjects—are Moore’s law and Metcalfe’s law. Moore’s Law, as everyone by now knows, predicts that the number of transistors…
