TechnologyPneumatic computer uses pressure instead of electricity A computer chip made of glass and silicone holds liquids that move from one side of the chip to the other in reaction to pressure changes. This has been used to control and automate miniaturised biochemistry experiments News
PhysicsSupersized atoms could help quantum computers link to optical fibres A device that uses supersized rubidium atoms could make it possible to transmit outputs from quantum computers through standard optical fibres. That in turn could make it easier to build networks of quantum computers News
