Versatile New Quantum Chip Could Create Modular Quantum Computers
Quantum computers could immeasurably speed up the rate at which calculations run — but so far, their promise has yet to be realised. Now, a team of researchers has built a versatile quantum chip that it reckons could be pieced together to create a powerful computational device.

Modular Chameleon Satellite Can Transform To Change Missions
Once you’ve put a satellite into space, that’s normally kind of it. There isn’t usually a lot of replanning once your technology is in orbit, meaning that if you want to change something like the broadcast frequency, you’re stuck. That’s the reason these transforming satellites exist.

Physicists Want To Know If We’re All Actually Living In A Hologram
Although it sounds entirely like something dreamed up in a smoke-filled dorm room, whether the entire universe is hologram is a very serious question — a question that gets at the heart of a fundamental problem in physics. A new experiment starting up at Fermilab just might hold the answer.

Quantum Positioning Could Be A Radically New Sub Navigation System
We take GPS so much for granted on land that it’s easy to forget where GPS doesn’t work — like deep underwater, where only strange sea creatures and submarines roam. Enter the bizarre new world of quantum positioning, where supercooled atoms could be the future of navigation.
