So I've always thought that having magnets near hard-drives was bad for the hard-drives, yet these days all I see are magnet-tipped screw drivers. Even those "iFixit" branded ones, which are obviously ...

Rare earth magnets form an important part of many of today's electronic devices, ranging from wind turbine generators to MRI scanners. Despite their prevalence, only a tiny fraction of these magnets ...

What is there to see inside a magnet that's smaller than the head of a pin? Quite a lot, say physicists who've invented a new kind of MRI technique to do just that. The technique may eventually enable ...

Ion trap quantum computers hold and manipulate charged particles, called ions, to encode information. But to make a processor that works faster than a classical computer would require millions of such ...

Computers perform complex calculations using billions of tiny electronic switches called transistors, which are organized into circuits and memory. Replacing these transistors with magnetic switches ...

Scientists have discovered a type of magnetic behavior that could help enable magnetically based quantum devices. Magnetic interactions could point to miniaturizable quantum devices. From MRI machines ...

(Nanowerk News) Globally, computation is booming at an unprecedented rate, fueled by the boons of artificial intelligence. With this, the staggering energy demand of the world’s computing ...

STACKS of nanomagnets could make future supercomputers run leaner. Microchips made from tiny magnets rather than conventional power-hungry transistors may enable intensive number-crunching tasks like ...

EL PASO, Texas (Sept. 11, 2023) ­– Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize the world, allowing massive health and science computation problems to be solved exponentially faster than by ...

D-Wave, a company based in British Columbia, has announced a new version of its quantum annealer: the D-Wave 2000Q. As the name suggests, the number of bits has increased from about 1,000 to just over ...

From MRI machines to computer hard disk storage, magnetism has played a role in pivotal discoveries that reshape our society. In the new field of quantum computing, magnetic interactions could play a ...
