The holodeck has existed in the Star Trek universe since the pilot episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1987. It used holograms to simulate any environment, including people and may be closer to becoming a reality. But, what does…

Saturn has more moons than any other planet in our solar system. With the recent discovery of 62 new spatial bodies in the system, the ringed planet now has a total of 145 moons, beating Jupiter’s 92, which also increased in February with …

Photovoltaic cells work by absorbing light, knocking electrons loose, and allowing them to flow, which creates an electrical current. They capture that current and transfer it to wires. Storing this energy in batteries can be expensive and…

Researchers created a quantum key distribution (QKD) system based on integrated photonics that transmits secure keys at unprecedented speeds. This is an important step toward real-world application of the highly secure communication method.…

Serve Robotics Inc., known for its autonomous sidewalk delivery technology, announced the scope of its partnership with Uber Technologies Inc. Their agreement allows Serve to deploy up to 2,000 of its robots on Uber Eats in multiple markets…

According to a study co-authored by Rutgers faculty, political ideology and user choice rather than algorithmic curation are the biggest drivers of engagement with partisan and unreliable news provided by Google Search. The study results…

A "generic Air-gen effect" says that nearly any material can be engineered with nanopores to harvest cost-effective, scalable, interruption-free electricity. A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently…

Twenty-five years ago, University of Innsbruck scientists provided the blueprints for a quantum repeater. Now, quantum physicists led by Ben Lanyon from the Department of Experimental Physics at the University of Innsbruck have succeeded in…

IBM, the University of Tokyo, and the University of Chicago announced at the G7 Summit that they are entering a landmark 10-year partnership to develop a quantum-centric supercomputer powered by 100,000 qubits. Quantum-centric…

I'm a gamer and worked in the games industry for many years. My favorite genres are stealth games and RPGs: Fallout, Skyrim, Bioshock, Far Cry, and the like. Despite this preference, I've likely put more hours into Minecraft than every…
