    Conceptual visualization of an advanced processor chip. gorodenkoff/iStockSupercomputers have been a powerful tool ever since their birth in the 1960s. Today, almost every nation has advanced supercomputing facilities and systems capable of solving the most complex of tasks. Chinese semiconductor manufacturer Hygon and supercomputer builder Sugon have announced the creation of a vertically integrated computing giant capable of building high-performance systems entirely with domestic technology.

    Quantum technology often requires the precise control of individual particles, atoms, or ions. Optical tweezers are one such device that can be used to control these particles. Optical tweezers use focused lasers to trap and control single atoms or ions with extremely high precision. They are used in quantum computing systems, atomic clocks, and studying quantum physics. However, trapped ions or atoms have a natural motion or jiggle due to thermal energy.

    Source: MSN Story by Tejasri GururajA unified theory of everything has long eluded scientists due to gravity being irreconcilable with the three other fundamental forces (electromagnetic, weak, and strong) described using quantum field theory (QFT). The fundamental discrepancy between the unification lies in how the two theories are described. The gravitational field—described by Einstein’s theory of general relativity—is a manifestation of the very fabric of reality, spacetime.

    New high-speed data pipeline enables real-time analysis for nuclear physics experiments. nadla/iStockScientific experiments generate a lot of data that needs to be analyzed. This process includes transferring data to a computer or supercomputer miles away, which can take days. Addressing this problem, researchers from Lawrence Berkeley and Oak Ridge National Laboratories (ORNL) have come up with a solution.
