Quantum computer helps solve real-life logistics problem

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have demonstrated that small quantum computers can be used to solve problems with real applications.  Quantum computers hold the potential to exponentially expand computing power, transforming certain sectors such as cyber security and research. In 2019, Google researchers announced that they had reached “quantum supremacy”: a quantum computer … Read more

Videos beamed straight onto human retina via compact laser projector

A compact device capable of projecting images and video directly onto the retina of a human eye has been developed by researchers from the University of Fukui.  The Fukui team created the device by integrating a laser module capable of outputting red, green and blue lasers with a microelectromechanical (MEMS) mirror. The direction in which … Read more

Encrypted messaging could increase child abuse cases, report warns

Millions of children in England are using messaging platforms that they are not old enough to be accessing and the introduction of end-to-end encryption (E2EE) could increase their risk of exploitation, the Children’s Commissioner for England has warned in a report.  The Commissioner’s report follows announcements by Facebook – and indications by other social platforms, such as Snap – … Read more

Servers pump iron

High-powered computers are back, but how do we deal with their thirst for energy?  By the end of the 1980s, big iron was showing more than a touch of rust. Monster machines like the Cray-2 ruled supercomputing. It was an age when, supposedly, no-one got fired for buying IBM: Big Blue dominated enterprise computing with … Read more

MIT study suggests promise for non-silicon transistors

An MIT study has demonstrated that deterioration in the performance of InGaAs (indium gallium arsenide) transistors at small scales is not an intrinsic property of the material.  For computing power to continue to improve into the future, supporting more computationally expensive processes, engineers will need to develop ever-smaller and more densely packed transistors. For decades, … Read more
