The Georgia Tech Research Institute(GTRI) has opened a new secure facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to support work with the
USA Rare Earth, Pasqal and Riven Systems are working together on a new rare earth separation project that combines quantum machine learning with automated laboratory experiments. Riven’s system will generate chemical data through thousands of experiments, while Pasqal will test quantum machine learning models. The companies aim to discover better extractants that could reduce processing equipment, energy use and raw material needs.
IperionX has validated its GenX™ continuous titanium production system after four production campaigns in Virginia. The system processed more than 500 kg of titanium powder while using over 75% less power, more than 45% less magnesium and over 60% less hydrogen per kilogram than batch HAMR™ processing. The results will support further work toward an industrial-scale production line.
The US Department of Energy has launched a new competition aimed at speeding up the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers.
Researchers at Argonne and the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams have measured a key nuclear reaction involving krypton-88. The new result reduces uncertainty around neutron capture and helps explain why earlier models produced too little strontium. By adding the measurement to i-process simulations, scientists brought predictions closer to observations of ancient stars.
The University of Nottingham has developed a solid-state rotary speaker that creates sound effects by controlling the interaction of physical sound waves. Inspired by the classic Leslie speaker, the system uses a circular speaker array instead of motors and moving parts. The research could open a new approach to sound modulation between traditional mechanical and modern digital audio effects.
India is moving beyond semiconductor policy announcements and into a phase defined by commercial production, supplier networks and deeper international
Lockheed Martin has secured $114 million in U.S. Space Force contracts to modernize GPS ground systems. The work will prepare the ground network to support GPS IIIF satellites, upgrade hardware and software, and improve system resilience. The projects will also support M-Code-enabled satellites designed to provide stronger protection against jamming while maintaining GPS services for military and civilian users.
Researchers at Stanford University have developed mice containing human brain tissue that occupies about half the volume of their brains.
China has found two large groundwater reserves beneath the Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang. The discovery is giving researchers new information
