Claude 3 Opus has stunned AI researchers with its intellect and 'self-awareness' — does this mean it can think for itself?
By Roland Moore-Coyler published
Anthropic's AI tool has beaten GPT-4 in key metrics and has a few surprises up its sleeve — including pontificating about its existence and realizing when it was being tested.

Future quantum computers could use bizarre 'error-free' qubit design built on forgotten research from the 1990s
By Nicholas Fearn published
Qubits can be made by floating a suspended electron over a pool of liquid helium rather than being embedded them a solid-state crystal — which leads to impurities and errors.

Weird magnetic 'skyrmion' quasiparticle could be used as a bit in advanced computing memory
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
Scientists want to replace electrons with so-called 'nanobubbles' — or skyrmions — to store data more densely and efficiently in advanced memory components that would replace RAM and flash storage.
