Qudits: The Real Future of Quantum Computing?
IEEE Spectrum Recent Content
Instead of creating quantum computers based on qubits that can each adopt only two possible options, scientists have now developed a microchip that can generate “qudits” that can each assume 10 or more states, potentially opening up a new way to creating incredibly powerful quantum computers, a new study finds.

Carbon Nanotubes Reduce Transistor Footprint to Forty Nanometers
The Engineer
There have been increasing signs coming from the research community that carbon nanotubes are beginning to step up to the challenge of offering a real alternative to silicon-based complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistors.
For the First Time, Offshore Wind Power Will Be Profitable Without Subsidies
IEEE Spectrum Recent Content
Europe’s offshore wind power industry recently achieved a major milestone: three projects to be built without government subsidy. Bent Christensen, who is responsible for energy-cost projections for Siemens’s wind power division, credits industry-wide cost cutting that has outstripped expectations. “We’re three to four years ahead of schedule,” says Christensen.

Digitalization changes everything, everywhere! It’s inevitable, new business drivers are forcing the Electronics industry to rethink every element of their business. Virtually every company is talking about innovation and digitalization. The challenge is turning the talk into tangible results.
Are Telepresence Robots the Best Way to Explore Other Worlds?
IEEE Spectrum Recent Content
As we start looking towards more comprehensive exploration of the Moon and of Mars, the assumption is that we’re working on sending humans to the surface of those worlds. It’s going to be exponentially more difficult and dangerous than sending robots, but that’s what exploration is all about, right?
Riding in a Robocar That Sees Around Corners
IEEE Spectrum Recent Content
Communication is a sixth sense that lets us see through other people’s eyes and thus through walls, over the horizon, and around corners. “Look out for that lion,” someone said to our ancient ancestor, and that’s why we’re standing here today.
