Quantum computing technology is truly a masterpiece although it is not yet mature. I’ve already sung its praise: the benefits it brings to the table, the advantage it gives the telecom industry, and the radical revolution it will incite in the medical field. But it’s time to bring the expectations back to earth as there […]

Computing networking pioneer Bob Metcalfe on Wednesday won the industry’s most prestigious prize for the invention of the Ethernet, a technology that half a century after its creation remains the foundation of the internet. The Ethernet is the standard connection for everything from servers inside data centers to telecommunications networks. The Association for Computing Machinery […]
New York-based quantum computer startup SEEQC said on Wednesday it has developed a digital chip that can operate at temperatures colder than outer space so it can be used with quantum processors that are often in cryogenic chambers. Quantum computers, based on quantum physics, have the potential one day to complete some calculations millions of […]
Throughout history, humans have managed to circumvent long and tedious processes. Henry Ford’s moving assembly line was a quantum leap in manufacturing, so to speak. And in the age of digital advancements, it is no different. The latest concept proposed is quantum computing (QC) based on quantum physics. In layperson’s terms, this type of computing […]
Australia’s sovereign wealth fund, the Future Fund, is screening its portfolio for Chinese companies at risk of U.S. investment restrictions, its chairman said on Tuesday. The Biden administration plans to ban investments in some Chinese technology firms and increase scrutiny of others, sources have said, as part of its plan to crack down on the […]
Meta Platforms Inc lost a bid on Monday to end a lawsuit in Boston federal court claiming it stole confidential information from artificial-intelligence startup Neural Magic Inc. Meta will have to face a trial over accusations that it took Neural Magic’s “breakthrough” algorithms that enable AI systems to process information more quickly, U.S. District Judge […]
HP Inc on Tuesday forecast second-quarter adjusted profit above estimates and maintained its full-year earnings target, expecting to benefit from cost cuts and a recovery in demand in the China market. Lifting of lockdowns in China, a key market as well a dominant supplier of electronics components, is supporting the outlook at hardware suppliers such […]
In the past, spies used to rely on pen and paper to communicate their secrets. The risk of physical interception was high, but the evidence could be destroyed by simply burning the paper. With the rise of digital communication, spies have new challenges to navigate. The risk of interception may have been reduced, but data […]
You might be taking an elevator to the stars soon enough. While human teleportation is nearly impossible, a tubelike space elevator is plausible. While some may say the materials needed to build such elevators is quite scarce. Big names in technology, such as Japan, are still pushing forward with the space elevator. If we put […]
As the artificial intelligence boom takes off, Nvidia Corp is expected to emerge as the biggest – though not the only – winner in the AI chip race among chipmakers after years of focusing on the technology has made it a go-to supplier for tech firms. AI has emerged as a bright spot for investments […]
