From computer chips to quantum dots—technological platforms were only made possible thanks to a detailed understanding of the ...

Foremost among silicon's distinguishing features is that, quite simply, there is a hell of a lot of it. After oxygen, it's the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust -- but don't expect to ...

A team of Australian engineers is claiming it has made the first working quantum bit (qubit) fashioned out of a single phosphorous atom, embedded on a conventional silicon chip. This breakthrough ...

Quantum computing startup Atom Computing Inc. announced today the forthcoming availability of what it says is a 1,225-site atomic array, populated with 1,180 qubits, within the next generation of its ...

The latest lithium-ion batteries on the market are likely to extend the charge-to-charge life of phones and electric cars by as much as 40 percent. This leap forward, which comes after more than a ...

Researchers at Intel have developed a method of generating a continuous laser with a silicon device, one of the first steps toward introducing optical interconnects in future processors, servers and ...
