Cuneiform-inspired polymer could be the future of sustainable digital storage (or not)

Digital Clay: Cuneiform languages represent the earliest known writing systems in human history. The Sumerians used this method by making indentations in clay tablets, a practice later adopted by other civilizations, including the Akkadians and Persians. Millennia later, cuneiform could once again prove significant – this time, as inspiration for innovations in the field of data storage.

Breakthrough 2D quantum cooling system is colder than space

Novel device converts heat into electricity at ultra-low temperatures
Forward-looking: A research team at EPFL University in Switzerland has created a 2D quantum computing system that can get colder than outer space. This is a major breakthrough for quantum computing, as advancements have been hindered by conventional cooling methods. This new technology uses off-the-shelf parts and can be easily implemented into existing quantum computers.
