This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. Who is better at performing surgery: an experienced surgeon or a robot? Typically, surgeons have to make relatively bigger incisions during surgery, whereas the small instruments of a robot can fit through smaller incisions.…

X-Rays Could Carry Quantum Signals Across the Stars

Quantum signals may possess a number of advantages over regular forms of communication, leading scientists to wonder if humanity was not alone in discovering such benefits. Now a new study suggests that, for hypothetical extraterrestrial civilizations, quantum transmissions using X-rays may be possible across interstellar distances.Quantum communication relies on a…

Billionaires, satellite links, political chicanery: a present-day, oligopolistic game of jockeying for prime placement in the 12 GHz spectrum has at least a few of the ingredients of a thriller. Or—given the outsized personalities involved (including Elon Musk and Michael Dell) and the epic, five-year duration of the dispute to…

Wandering Robots in the Wild

14 Ιουλίου 2022 by paulkokos

paulkokos

In order to better understand how people will interact with mobile robots in the wild, we need to take them out of the lab and deploy them in the real world. But this isn’t easy to do. Roboticists tend to develop robots under the assumption that they’ll know exactly where…

150,000 Qubits Printed on a Chip

14 Ιουλίου 2022 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Quantum computers can theoretically solve problems no classical computer ever could—even given billions of years—but only if they possess many components known as qubits. Now scientists have fabricated more than 150,000 silicon-based qubits on a chip that they may be able to link together with light, to help form powerful…

RISC-V Guns for Raspberry Pi, Legacy Chips

Two hardware makers are planning to offer chips later this year featuring the RISC-V free and open architecture standard, joining the $180 Linux-capable StarFive VisionFive RISC-V board that went on sale in January. In late June, Pine64 said it was designing a single-board computer for the market now dominated by…
