Meet EcoBOT: The Autonomous Lab Standardizing Plant-Microbe Research

A robotic arm in a high-tech laboratory holds up a small, clear plastic container that houses a single green plant seedling. Below the raised container is an out-of-focus grid of many similar clear plastic boxes. The scene is illuminated by bright, cool blue and green lights that reflect off the plastic and metallic machinery, giving it an automated, futuristic appearance.

Scientists Develop Predictive Roadmap to Boost Performance in Next-Gen Spintronics

New Hybrid Approach Bypasses Hardware Limits to Unlock Complex Quantum Simulations

A schematic diagram divided into two main sections illustrating a computational workflow, with Quantum measurements on the left and Classical postprocessing on the right. The left section displays a series of quantum circuit diagrams at increasing time steps, featuring green blocks labeled Hamiltonian simulation and blue blocks labeled Shallow shadows, which output histograms and color-coded data vectors. The right section shows the flow of classical data processing, starting at the top with multi-layered, colorful grids representing data matrices being used to compute a central system matrix. An arrow points down from this matrix to a diagram labeled Spectral decomposition, which shows data points plotted around the perimeter of a circle to represent eigenvalues. A final arrow points left to a line graph labeled Energy error, illustrating the error rates for both an excited state and a ground state steadily decreasing as the number of data points increases.

CS Week, 2025 Quarter 1

Mark your calendars and make plans to join the CS Area in person for a three-day summit of events, activities, and workshops. The next CS Week will be held February 4 – 6, 2025.

The CS Week website is your source for event details for each day, travel information for remote employees, and valuable information for first-timers.

Postdoc Symposium
