What is artificial superintelligence (ASI)?
By Edd Gent published
Our current AI systems may one day evolve into a superintelligent entity, but scientists aren't yet certain what this might look like and what the implications are.

AI can handle tasks twice as complex every few months
By Roland Moore-Colyer published
AIs can outperform humans easily on short tasks, but longer ones are the true hurdle to overcome before we can deem them to be truly intelligent systems.

EVs could charge 500% faster in freezing weather after new discovery
By Ross Kelly published
New research shows how coating a battery with a razor-thin layer of lithium borate-carbonate can lead to a 500% boost in charging rates when temperatures fall below freezing.

Scientists reveal the first operating system for quantum computers
By Peter Ray Allison published
QNodeOS is the world's first operating system designed for quantum computers and will enable connections between different types of quantum computers.

New benchmark will reveal when quantum computers overtake the fastest supercomputers, scientists say
By Alan Bradley published
A new benchmark performed on chips from five different vendors has indicated how we can measure QPU performance as quantum computers become more advanced and useful.

'Squeezing' Schrödinger's cat-inspired qubits could lead to more reliable quantum computing
By Peter Ray Allison published
A new technique improves the reliability of cat qubits by squeezing their probabilistic states. This could improve their reliability and lifetime, and pave the way for accurate quantum computing.

How will the latest generation of fighter jets stand out? The answer lies in stealth tech.
By David Bacci published
The fighter jets are likely to incorporate AI, as well as advanced engine and stealth technology.

Stabbed, cut, attacked, twisted — scientists subject new stretchable battery to extreme torture, and it retained 90% of its capacity
By Ruari McCallion published
A new stretchable hydrogel battery can withstand extreme conditions and still operate effectively, scientists say.
