Emerging technologies The term “emerging technologies” refers to novel technologies whose development or real-world applications have not yet been widely implemented.Artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, biotechnology, robotics, 3D printing, and blockchains are among them.In 2005, futurist Beam Kurzweil guaranteed the following mechanical upheaval would settle upon propels in hereditary qualities, nanotechnology, and mechanical technology, with mechanical […]

Clearing the way toward robust quantum computing By demonstrating a method that eliminates common errors in the most crucial operation of quantum algorithms, the two-qubit operation or “gate,” MIT researchers have made significant progress toward the realization of quantum computation. “Errors in two-qubit gates, one of the building blocks of quantum computation, persist despite tremendous […]

A golden opportunity Ric Fulop, MBA ’06, was a general partner at North Bridge Venture Partners in 2012 when he realized that the current processes for 3-D printing metal were far too slow for mass production and far too expensive for prototypes. As a result, he saw an opportunity for business.Before deciding that he should […]
