Temporary Scalp Tattoo Can Record Brain Activity

New Scientist Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed temporary tattoos that can be printed onto a patient’s head as an alternative to using electrodes on the scalp for electroencephalography. The ink is durable, highly conductive, and does not cause skin irritation. The tattoo is personalized using a computer program and printed […]

Quantum Chips Entangled to Work Together

New Scientist The entanglement of a pair of qubits and teleportation of one to a second chip was demonstrated by researchers at IBM. The researchers connected two Eagle quantum processing units, each with 127 qubits, to perform a calculation requiring a total of 142 qubits, more than could fit at one time on either chip […]

Quantum Computers Hit Milestone for Error-Free Calculation

New Scientist Microsoft and Atom Computing say they have set a new record for the most entangled logical qubits, a step towards the creation of quantum computers that can detect and correct errors. Using a quantum computer constructed from ultracold ytterbium atoms to create 24 logical qubits and link them through quantum entanglement, the companies […]

Google Street View Helps Map How 600,000 Trees Grow Down to the Limb

New Scientist Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have created digital twins of 600,000 trees in 23 cities across North America. They used AI to turn two-dimensional images from Google Street View into 3D digital twins. The model, trained on labeled images of trees from more than 300 genera and other 3D tree models, can predict […]

Datacenters May Soon Burn as Much Extra Gas as California Uses Daily

New Scientist S&P Global expects an increase in datacenter development to drive up U.S. demand for natural gas from 85 million cubic meters per day to 170 million by 2030. In comparison, New York and California used about 100 million and 160 million cubic meters per day, respectively, last year. U.S. datacenters will see power […]
