We've heard much about quantum computing over the last decade, which promises computers worlds faster than any Intel or AMD powered machine, but it's not until recently that we're actually starting to see real progress

The biggest problem with modern robotics is not the mechanisms, its the intelligence behind the mechanisms. Matching the human sense of balance is a major challenge, for example. Enter cy

A new processor that harnesses 1 billion aluminum atoms is being hailed as a breakthrough in the road to the much-hyped quantum computer

Delft University of Technology carries out calculations with quantum bits.

ESA takes steps towards quantum communication.

Applications include high intensity LEDs and optical switches.

We look at the gadgets in the new James Bond film Quantum of Solace, and chat to director Marc Foster about the technology behind Bond (includes spoilers).

Scientists reckon they may have found a way of controlling quantum states for use in optoelectronic chips

Major breakthrough in quantum computing.

Sony unveils an interesting promotion that involves QR code scanning in QR-equipped mobile phones, to win the ultimate Bond experience worth $15,000.

Paired atoms could be the building blocks of a quantum computer.

With a little help from Albert Einstein

While this film lacks the sophisticated grace of the last entry, Solace is a gentle reminder that a darker, grittier Bond can still thrill audiences and in the process - divide them.

Photon-transistors for the supercomputers of the future.

US boffins demonstrate hybrid material.

The end of Moore's law may happen sooner than we first thought, according to two physicists who have predicted the end of rapid computing advancement.

THE FUTURE OF Wii Fit-style interactive games that deliver real exercise is hotting up, promising a new generation of trully immersive, precise-response consoles using nanosensors - thousands of them embodied in your gamesuit.

Carbon nanotube bundles have much smaller electrical resistance.

Data protection and drive reliability are both areas where a lot of hard disk manufacturers are investing a lot of time and money, making sure that your data is safe from any accidents.
