Bizarre New Computer Mouse Designs Aim to Cut Wrist Injuries, Scientists Say
Researchers have developed two unusual computer mouse prototypes — a squeezable mesh “Fleximouse” and a vertical A-frame model. Both aim to reduce repetitive wrist strain and discomfort that traditional rigid mouse designs often cause. Early tests showed reduced wrist repositioning, though comfort varied. Scientists suggest that adjustable, p...

Washable Fiber Computer Could Transform the Future of Smart Clothing, Study Finds
Scientists have created a washable fibre computer that integrates sensors, processors, and communication modules into a single strand. Tested in garments, the fibres achieved up to 95% accuracy in detecting human movements. Researchers say the breakthrough could lead to practical smart clothing, though challenges like energy use and communication s...

Caltech Scientists Stretch Quantum Memory Lifetimes 30x in Major Leap
Caltech scientists developed a hybrid quantum memory that stores qubit states 30 times longer by converting them into sound waves. The method, using mechanical oscillators at gigahertz frequencies, reduces energy loss and shows scalability potential. Published in Nature Physics, the breakthrough marks a step toward practical, long-term storage for ...

Japan’s Universal Memory Breakthrough Reduces Energy, Boosts Speed
Scientists in Japan have developed a new type of "universal memory" that could revolutionise computing. Their improved MRAM technology overcomes previous energy limitations by using a multiferroic heterostructure with a vanadium layer for stability. This allows for faster data processing while significantly reducing power consumption, making future...

Scientists Unlock Quantum Control of Atomic Collisions at Warmer Temperatures
Scientists from the University of Warsaw and the Weizmann Institute of Science have demonstrated that atomic collisions can be controlled at temperatures beyond the ultracold regime. Previously, it was believed that quantum control weakens as kinetic energy increases. However, as per reports, unexpected order has been observed in rubidium-strontium...

First Modular Quantum Computer Works at Room Temperature Without Cooling
Scientists have developed Aurora, the first modular quantum computer that operates at room temperature. Unlike traditional quantum systems requiring near absolute zero temperatures, Aurora uses photonic qubits interconnected via fiber optics. This innovation by Xanadu enhances fault tolerance and scalability, paving the way for future quantum data ...

Frontier Supercomputer Simulates Universe with Unmatched Complexity
The Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has conducted the most detailed universe simulation to date. Using the Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC) under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project, the model incorporates dark matter, gas, and plasma interactions. With speeds reaching 1.4 exaFLOPS, ...
