“Now, it is possible to teleport information so that it never physically travels across the connection — a “Star Trek” technology made real,” said researcher.

Scientists have been making discoveries in the quantum computing realm. In another leap, researchers successfully deployed the principles of quantum physics and transported information in the form of light patterns without physically moving the image itself.

According to a statement by the researchers, scientists demonstrated the quantum transport of the highest dimensionality of information to date. Particularly highlighting, the use of a teleportation-inspired configuration so that the information does not physically travel between the two communicating parties.

“These kinds of autonomous robotic fleets have a great deal of potential to undertake a wide range of dangerous, dirty, dull, distant, and dear jobs,” say researchers.

Scientists from multiple universities have created Symbiotic Multi-Robot Fleet (SMuRF), a system that allows diverse robots to collaborate, performing challenging tasks unsafe for humans at nuclear sites.

Tesla sparks innovation with wireless inductive home charging for EVs, signaling a bold leap toward a self-driving future.

December 2023 has been a rollercoaster for Tesla, with over two million vehicle recalls due to Autopilot issues. However, Tesla remains committed to advancing autonomous driving technology, and its latest move hints at a futuristic approach – wireless inductive home charging for electric vehicles (EVs).

In a groundbreaking experiment, NASA has successfully sent a 15-second, high-definition cat video over 19 million miles to Earth from space.

NASA has sent an ultra-high definition, 15-second-long cat video over 19 million miles (over 30 million km), the space agency said on Monday. This was not done for fun, though the video choice is undoubtedly some in-joke, but rather an experiment for its Deep Space Optical Communications. The video was beamed to Earth from its $1.2 billion Psyche asteroid probe launched in October 2023.

Tiny Vibrio natriegens pioneers eco-friendly biosorption for essential element extraction.

A bacterium weighing one-trillionth of a gram may soon have a large influence on sustainable processing of rare earth elements, as per a study by Cornell University.

Just four days after arriving in Earth’s orbit, China’s Shenlong space plane has been observed releasing six enigmatic “wingmen.”

China’s Shenlong (meaning “Divine Dragon”) robotic space plane has something strange four days after it arrives in Earth’s orbit.

In an unexpected move, China’s Shenlong space plane has been observed deploying 6 ‘wingmen’ objects, some of which are chatting.

Using two rigid bodies and one actuator, the research team at CMU has revolutionized walking in robots.

Larger robots can do some heavy lifting but cannot be used in disaster zones where one needs to look through the rubble and look for signs of life.

A high voltage direct current cable will connect UK homes with fresh green energy from the wind farms of Denmark.

Viking Link, the world’s largest interconnector, connecting electrical grids in Denmark and the UK using a 475-mile (765 km) undersea cable is days away from being put into operation. The interconnector will go online at reduced capacity and eventually power 1.4 million homes in the UK.

Interconnectors enable a quick way to tide over demand-supply fluctuations in an electrical grid. These are especially important in a world where energy comes from renewable sources and is known to be produced intermittently. This is why the EU expects them to play a crucial role in the region’s energy security in the future.
