IBM Claims Quantum Advantage With New Validation Techniques
Quantum computers promise to solve problems beyond the most powerful classical supercomputers. But this raises a fundamental challenge: How do you prove the validity of answers that can’t be calculated any other way? In a trio of papers released yesterday, IBM and collaborators say they have demonstrated several…

Why NIST Researchers Spent 10 Years Measuring Gravity
Physicists have been trying to measure the fundamental gravitational constant for well over two centuries. The current accepted value of big G, as it’s known, is 6.67430 × 10-11 cubic meters per kilogram per square second. It also has an uncertainty of ±0.00015 × 10-11 m3/(kg s2). As far as constants of the universe…

Exotic Quasiparticles Promise Next-Gen Interconnects
Interconnects, the wires that string transistors together into circuits on microchips, have long been built from copper due to its high conductivity. However, as electronics continue to shrink, copper becomes a dramatically worse conductor. Now scientists find that a new class of materials containing exotic…
Optical Tech Would Update a Robot’s AI on the Fly
Atop a lab bench, Cornell Tech postdoctoral researcher Yifan He positions the lens of an optical receiver almost a meter away from an LED emitting a beam of red light. The computer monitor attached to the receiver takes a beat to refresh, then displays an array of squares that resemble a QR code. When you hold your…

We’re Squandering LEDs’ Potential to Save Our Night Skies
In the chill of a London spring night, under overcast skies, iconic Trafalgar Square opens around me. Admiral Nelson rises on his pedestal, the National Gallery rests behind, the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields sits nearby. From the 13th century, the site served as the Royal Mews for hawks and then horses. By 1844,…

The Memory in Your Thumb Drive Could Fix AI’s Big Problem
Large Language Models (LLMs) demand immense amounts of memory, and the more people use them, the more memory is required. Memory makers responded by accelerating plans to build new memory fabs, with a focus on High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and DRAM, the first of which is scheduled to start production in 2027. But the…

Why AI-Ready Data Is The Real Advantage
Stacking Chips Sideways Gives AI More Memory
GPUs and other big AI chips just can’t get enough memory. Today’s data center computers stack DRAM 12 dies high. But as memory makers try to build higher stacks to pack in more bits and bandwidth, experts worry this high bandwidth-memory (HBM) will trap enough heat to cook itself into oblivion. That will be especially…
Samsung Begins Mass Production of PM1763 SSD Optimized for Next-Generation AI Infrastructure
Samsung Electronics a global leader in advanced memory technology, today announced mass production of PM1763, the company’s PCIe® 6.0-based enterprise solid state drive (SSD) optimized for next-generation AI and HPC server environments. As the volume of data required for AI training and inference continues to grow…
