Gorodenkoff/Getty Images In collaboration with experts from Nvidia, researchers from the Jülich Supercomputing Center have broken a world record in quantum simulation. The feat? For the first time ever, a computer has fully and successfully simulated demands for 50 qubits. The previous world record, 48 qubits, was set in 2019 by another team of Jülich researchers using the Japanese K computer.

Apple reportedly wants to ditch aluminum for future iPhones, with two materials being considered for their better balance between weight and heat dissipation. Apple introduced titanium to the iPhone with the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max in 2023, with the change even becoming the device’s defining slogan.

Danielprudek/Getty Images The world is becoming more and more energy hungry, with more and more devices, appliances and vehicles connected to the grid. This is largely what makes widespread adoption of renewable energy sources like solar panels difficult, especially compared to the monumental power of a single next-generation nuclear reactor. Solar panels and nuclear reactors can produce electricity, but it would take more than 8.5 million solar panels receiving light 24 hours a day to generate the same type of output that a nuclear reactor is capable of producing. While…
Apple is still developing a large foldable iPad despite technical hurdles, and it is expected to feature the same crease-free hinge design as Apple’s “iPhone Ultra,” its first foldable iPhone expected to launch in the fall. This is what Digital Chat Station, based on Weibo, reveals. The popular Chinese-language leaker hints that Apple’s large foldable iPad will create a new market for giant folding tablets, but that’s likely still some way off. A report in July last year claimed that Apple had decided to pause work on a foldable iPad with a larger screen due to development issues, but Bloomberg…
