Topological semimetals are one of the major discoveries in condensed-matter physics in recent years. The magnetic Weyl semimetal, in which the Weyl nodes can be generated and modulated by magnetization, provides an ideal platform for […]
FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ:FORM), a leading semiconductor test and measurement supplier, collaborating with Northrop Grumman Corporation, a technology company focused on global security and human discovery, announced today the availability of a fully automated cryogenic wafer […]
Singapore-based quantum startup Atomionics, which already employs 11 scientists and engineers, has disclosed that it received $2.5 million in seed funding to launch its operations. Atomionics is now expanding its team to accelerate development of […]
Researchers report that they have demonstrated the use of DC electric fields to drive back-and-forth rotation of micro-particles in electric boundary layers. These particle oscillators could be useful as clocks that coordinate the organization of […]
The new Duality Accelerator, based in Chicago, has announced Chuck Vallurupalli as its inaugural senior director and Preeti Chalsani as the deputy director. Since 2018 Mr. Vallurupalli has served as an entrepreneur-in-residence at the Polsky […]
The program, called Quantum Austria, will be funded by Austria’s Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research and will be administered by the Research Promotion Agency FFG (in German: Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft) and the Science Fund FWF (in German: […]
Happy birthday to Alan Turing! This week I’m participating virtually in STOC’2021, which today had a celebration of the 50th anniversary of NP-completeness (featuring Steve Cook, Richard Karp, Leonid Levin, Christos Papadimitriou, and Avi Wigderson), […]
