Flocks of assembly robots show potential for making bigger structures

Flocks of assembly robots show potential for making bigger structures

image: MIT researchers have taken significant steps towards creating robots that could practically and economically assemble almost anything, including things much larger than themselves, from vehicles to buildings to robots bigger. The new system involves large, usable structures built from a collection of tiny, identical subunits called voxels (the volumetric equivalent of a 2D pixel). …

An illustration of how solar power could be beamed from space.

Space-based solar power could really work, experiments show

European aerospace giant Airbus has demonstrated how solar power can be transmitted from space in a new experiment. So far, the wireless transmission system has only covered just over 30 meters (100 feet), but engineers are confident they can increase its range to reach outer space in the next decade. The demonstration, which took place …

Simulations using a quantum computer show the current limits of the technology

November 14, 2022• Physics 15, 175 Quantum circuits still cannot outperform classical circuits when simulating molecules. E.Lucero/Google Be real. The Google-made Sycamore chip, comprising 53 quantum bits, was used to explore the “quantum advantage”: performance in quantum computing that exceeds anything possible on classical computers. But how well does this type of device perform in …
