A diamond nanophotonic interface with an optically accessible deterministic electronuclear spin register

Posted by in category: futurism

New #openaccess article online: A diamond #Nanophotonic interface with an optically accessible deterministic electronuclear spin register.


By implanting 117Sn, a fibre-packaged nanophotonic diamond waveguide with optically addressable hyperfine transitions separated by 452 MHz is demonstrated. This enables the formation of a spin-gated optical switch and achieving a waveguide-to-fibre extraction efficiency of 57%.

Does DNA have the equivalent of IF-statements, WHILE loops, or function calls? How about GOTO?

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Does DNA have anything like IF-statements, GOTO-jumps, or WHILE loops?

In software development, these constructs have the following functions: IF-statements: An IF statement executes the code in a.

Quantum Leap: The New Frontier of Polymer Simulations

Posted by in categories: biological, chemistry, computing, encryption, mathematics, quantum physics

A new study shows how quantum computing can be harnessed to discover new properties of polymer systems central to biology and material science.

The advent of quantum computing is opening previously unimaginable perspectives for solving problems deemed beyond the reach of conventional computers, from cryptography and pharmacology to the physical and chemical properties of molecules and materials. However, the computational capabilities of present-day quantum computers are still relatively limited. A newly published study in Science Advances fosters an unexpected alliance between the methods used in quantum and traditional computing.

The research team, formed by Cristian Micheletti and Francesco Slongo of SISSA in Trieste, Philipp Hauke of the University of Trento, and Pietro Faccioli of the University of Milano-Bicocca, used a mathematical approach called QUBO (from “Quadratic Unconstraint Binary Optimization”) that is ideally suited for specific quantum computers, called “quantum annealers.”

University Enrolling AI-Powered “Students” Who Will Turn in Assignments, Participate in Class Discussions

Posted by in categories: education, robotics/AI

Link:


Students at Ferris State University in Michigan will soon be sharing the classroom with AI-powered freshman “students” who will enroll in classes alongside them, MLive reports.

And no, they won’t have humanoid robot bodies — they’ll be interacting with students via computers, microphones, and speakers.

An artificial muscle device that produces force 34 times its weight

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, cyborgs, robotics/AI, wearables

Soft robots, medical devices, and wearable devices have permeated our daily lives. KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) researchers have developed a fluid switch using ionic polymer artificial muscles that operates at ultra-low power and produces a force 34 times greater than its weight. Fluid switches control fluid flow, causing the fluid to flow in a specific direction to invoke various movements.

KAIST announced on the 4th of January that a research team under Professor IlKwon Oh from the Department of Mechanical Engineering has developed a soft fluidic switch that operates at ultra-low voltage and can be used in narrow spaces.

The results have been published in Science Advances (“Polysulfonated Covalent Organic Framework as Active Electrode Host for Mobile Cation Guests in Electrochemical Soft Actuator”).

Ichthyosis: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Steps to Take

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, health

Ichthyosis refers to a group of skin disorders that lead to dry, itchy skin that appears scaly, rough, and red. Your health care provider may be able to diagnose ichthyosis with a genetic test that detects the mutated gene usually from a blood sample or a swab from the mouth. Find out more:


What is ichthyosis? It is a disorder that causes dry, thickened skin that may look similar to fish scales.
