Quantum advantage, the point at which a quantum computer out-perform classical computers in some tasks, may only be two years away if improvements in error rate and qubit count continue as they have over the last two years. The figures were presented by IBM at a quantum computing event held at its Zurich research centre ...

Schurter has added a low-trip-temperature variant to its RTS thermal fuse range, originally launched in 2018. Rather than >210°C, they are rated at >175°C. They have been developed to protect power semiconductors from over-heating – particularly from thermal-runaway when the semiconductors are in a confined space. In such an event, the thermal fuse interrupts the circuit, ...

RollsRoyce’s electric plane called ‘Sprit of Innovation’ beat the existing speed record for electric planes by 132mph – hitting a top-speed of 387.4mph during a 1.9 mile flight over Boscombe Down last week. It also broke, by 60 seconds, the fastest record time to climb to 3,000 metres by doing it in 202 seconds. ‘Following the ...

DARPA – the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency – has awarded BAE Systems multiple contracts to develop quantum technology for radio frequency (RF) sensing. The goal is to break constraints to antenna designs that have persisted for more than a century, says BAE Systems, reducing size, and increase sensitivity and accessible bandwidth by several ...
