A research team proposes a three-dimensional quantum anomalous Hall effect (3D QAHE) in Weyl semimetals (WSMs) by introducing Rashba spin-orbit coupling. This new state supports chiral surface and hinge states along different spatial directions, with Hall resistance switching between 0, h/e², and ±h/e², offering potential for energy-efficient devices and in-memory computing.

Researchers from SANKEN at The University of Osaka have successfully developed a groundbreaking “self-evolving” edge AI technology that enables real-time learning and forecasting capabilities directly within compact devices. This innovation, termed MicroAdapt, achieves unprecedented speed and accuracy. It processes data up to 100,000 times faster and achieves up to 60% higher accuracy compared to conventional state-of-the-art deep learning methods. This achievement represents a major advance toward next-generation real-time AI applications across manufacturing, automotive IoT, and medical wearables, addressing critical limitations of existing cloud-dependent AI.

The path toward realizing practical quantum technologies begins with understanding the fundamental physics that govern quantum behavior — and how those phenomena can be harnessed in real materials. In the lab of Ania Jayich, Bruker Endowed Chair in Science and Engineering, Elings Chair in Quantum Science, and co-director of UC Santa Barbara’s National Science Foundation Quantum Foundry, that material of choice is laboratory-grown diamond.

A new PLOS ONE study from Lehigh University introduces a computational model that predicts how electrical stimulation affects atrial fibrillation. The framework could help optimize therapy strategies and move clinicians closer to personalized cardiac care.

Scientists at TU Delft, The Netherlands, have developed a new algorithm that allows multiple autonomous drones to work together to control and transport heavy payloads, even in windy conditions. Ideal for reaching and maintaining hard-to-reach infrastructure, like offshore wind turbines. With often harsh weather, limited payload capacity and unpredictable contact with the environment, it is difficult for current drones to operate safely and effectively. The results have been published in Science Robotics.

A new interactive web application allows for a tangible understanding of abstract concepts of quantum game theory. The Kobe University development parallels the emergent dialogue found in jazz and improvisational music and aims for a scientific exploration of creativity.

A new quantum transport theory reveals how femtosecond time scale thermoelectric fluctuations influence energy control at the nanoscale. The University of Jyväskylä, Finland, has contributed to the development of a theoretical approach that enables accurate simulations of temperature differences and electric currents in nanoscale junctions formed by single molecules. The research opens new possibilities for designing components used in quantum technologies.
