The next generation of supercomputers - including quantum computers - is at a crucial point: Tomorrow s high-performance computers are at their physical limit in terms of miniaturization of their components; at the same time, they must be more energy-efficient and increase in performance. In this context, the international research network SuperGate coordinated by the University of Konstanz is creating a new basis: The researchers are developing a bridging technology that combines superconductor technology with semiconductor technology, using an approach that was considered physically impossible until just a few years ago. We are opening a completely new scientific field here , says Prof. Angelo Di Bernardo, a physics professor in Konstanz, who jointly with Prof. Wolfgang Belzig and Prof. Elke Scheer forms the Konstanz team of the international research network. The research project is funded with around 3 million euros through an FET Open Grant (FET: Future and Emerging T

Modeling and simulation are being put to work toward tackling some big healthcare concerns. In January a project coordinated by the University of Bologna and funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 kicked off to accelerate adoption of modeling and simulation technologies for medical device and drug development and regulatory assessment, according to project coordinator Marco Viceconti, who serves as professor at Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna.
Called In Silico World (ISW), the project takes its name from the online community of practice of the same name, recently launched by the University of Bologna, including experts and all relevant categories of stakeholders of in silico medicine. InSilic

Postage stamp to honor female physicist who many say should have won the Nobel Prize
Feb. 5, 2021 , 6:20 PM
A Chinese-American physicist whose name many people have never heard will soon share a rare honor typically bestowed on the field’s mononymous greats: Einstein, Fermi, Feynman. On 11 February, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will issue a stamp commemorating Chien-Shiung Wu, the service announced this week. In 1956, Wu proved, essentially, that the universe knows its right hand from its left.

Plato, the Greek philosopher who lived in the 5th century B.C.E., believed that the universe was made of five types of matter: earth, air, fire, water, and cosmos. Each was described with a particular geometry, a platonic shape. For earth, that shape was the cube.
Giant’s Causeway, Joel Nevius
Science has steadily moved beyond Plato’s conjectures, looking instead to the atom as the building block of the universe. Yet Plato seems to have been onto something, researchers have found.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team from the University of Pennsylvania, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, and University of Debrecen uses math, geology, and physics to demonstrate that the average shape of rocks on Earth is a cube.
