Compromise-free scaling of qubit speed and coherence by Miguel J. Carballido, Simon Svab, Rafael S. Eggli, Taras Patlatiuk, Pierre Chevalier Kwon, Jonas Schuff, Rahel M. Kaiser, Leon C. Camenzind, Ang Li, Natalia Ares, Erik P. A. M. Bakkers, Stefano Bosco, J. Carlos Egues, Daniel Loss, Dominik M. Zumbühl

“…Abstract Across leading qubit platforms, a common trade-off persists: increasing coherence comes at the cost of operational speed, reflecting the notion that protecting a qubit from its noisy surroundings also limits control over it. …”

Research Progress on CO2 Capture in the Steel Industry Under the Dual Carbon Background by Jing WEI, Min DENG, Dengguo YIN, Long SHI, Zikang QIN, Junfeng ZHENG, Lu YAO, Wenju JIANG, Lin YANG, Zhongde DAI

“…However, the global average cost of CO2 capture remains high. Current challenges include: (1) increased energy consumption (2.5 − 4.0 GJ per ton of steel); (2) infrastructure limitations, as 80% of steel plants lack CO2 pipeline networks; and (3) insufficient carbon pricing coverage, accounting for only 30% − 40% of the capture costs. …”

Design and Fabrication of a Novel Automatic Coconut De-husking and Deshelling Machine by Mohamed Aezeden

“…The process in general with traditional methods normally becomes very inefficient, with high labor costs and low throughput. The proposed machine is composed of a dehusking unit with the adaptation of the applied force to maximize the dehusking rate and a deshelling unit for breaking the shell in a controlled manner in order to protect the kernel from damage. …”
