UTe2 breakthrough for quantum computing Scientists from the Macroscopic Quantum Matter Group laboratory at the University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland discovered a spatially modulating superconducting state in the superconductor uranium ditelluride (UTe2) that could be useful as in topological quantum computing. Using a powerful quantum microscope, the team found that the some of the electro... » read more

Changes In Memory Design
By Ed Sperling - 29 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

An explosion of data in automotive, cloud, and AI are altering the fundamentals of memory design. One size no longer fits all, as memory is used for a broader set of applications, from automotive and cloud to consumer devices. Anand Theruvengadam, director of product management at Synopsys, talks about the impact of big data applications on density, memory stacking, and growing concerns about r... » read more

Tunable soliton microcomb Researchers from the University of Rochester and CalTech say they have created the first microwave-rate soliton microcomb that can control the repetition rate at a high speed. Microcombs are frequency combs that can fit on a microchip, which will be useful in photonics. Solitons are solitary waves that keep their shape as they move at a constant speed. The team put an... » read more

Quantum takes a Helium 3 bath A team of researchers from National Physical Laboratory, Royal Holloway University of London, Chalmers University of Technology, and Google have found that immersing superconducting quantum circuits in a bath of Helium-3 (3He) can cool down quantum circuits to almost 100 times lower than was possible before, to achieve under a thousand of a degree above absolute z... » read more

(Vision) Transformers: Rise Of The Chimera
By Jon Bunting - 20 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

It’s 2023 and transformers are having a moment. No, I’m not talking about the latest installment of the Transformers movie franchise, "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts"; I’m talking about the deep learning model architecture class, transformers, that is fueling anticipation, excitement, fear, and investment in AI. Transformers are not so new in the world of AI anymore; they were first ... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power

Converting heat to electricity Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and University of Colorado Boulder fabricated a device to boost the conversion of heat into electricity. The technique involves depositing hundreds of thousands of microscopic columns of gallium nitride atop a silicon wafer. Layers of silicon are then removed from the underside of the waf... » read more

Programming Processors In Heterogeneous Architectures
By Ann Mutschler - 08 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

Programming processors is becoming more complicated as more and different types of processing elements are included in the same architecture. While systems architects may revel in the number of options available for improving power, performance, and area, the challenge of programming functionality and making it all work together is turning out to be a major challenge. It involves multiple pr... » read more
