The diverse workload of ever-increasing cloud and high- performance computing applications brings many challenges to traditional server-centric computing system architectures with a fixed amount of compute, memory and storage nodes. Conventional electrical interconnect approach suffers from the incapability of disaggregating the storage from the compute over few meters due to the inherent losses a ...

Quantum computers being fabricated today, often referred to as noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, have seen an increase in the number of qubits employed and an associated improvement in capabilities. Since the qubits are rapidly randomized by noise from the environment and thus lose coherence, NISQ devices are inherently susceptible to generating errors during computation. These devi ...

Oceanographic instrumentation is deployed in remote locations far from power grids, and in environments prone to biological growth that covers scientific instrumentation and interferes with data collection. The objective of this project is to extend the deployment period by capturing energy extracted from the motion of the instrumentation platform, and to improve scientific data collection by powe ...

High energy physics research, modern medicine and advanced materials are continually demanding stronger magnetic fields. Efforts to generate fields in excess of 25 Tesla have been a principal driver of High Temperature Superconductor research. Although HTS materials were discovered decades ago and have always shown significant potential for high field use, until recently magnets using the technolo ...

At the completion of the research and development effort a Li-foil multi-wire proportional counter (MWPC) neutron detector with more than 625-cm2 of active area will be included in a portable radiation detection system. The system is expected to outperform the standards set by the ANSI N42.53 standards, and gamma-ray rejection ratio (GRR) of 1.0x10-8 or better. A gamma-ray spectrometer for isotope ...
