Researchers have designed a scalable, fully-coupled annealing processor with 4,096 spins, with parallelised capabilities for accelerated problem-solving.

Robots and AI are expected to play a key role in nursing practice in the future. In this regard, researchers from Japan ask whether intelligent machines can replace humans as nurses. 

A vital piece of gas rocket engines, combustors - the chambers in which the combustion powering the engine occurs - have the problem of breaking down due to fatal high-frequency oscillations during the combustion process. Now, through advanced time-series analyses based on complex systems, researchers from Tokyo University of Science and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency have found what causes them, opening up novel paths to solving the pro...

Drones could soon be adopted as essential tools for various agricultural tasks; however, with respect to their use in farm management, research is still lacking. To address this issue, researchers in Japan compared drones to well-established technologies for spraying pesticide over rice paddy fields.
