Swiss scientists have developed an innovative two-dimensional cooling system for quantum computers that can reach temperatures of up to 100 millikelvin, converting heat into electrical voltage. The development could be a breakthrough in the field of quantum computing. The LANES research group at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne (EFPL), led by Andras Kis, has created a device that matches the efficiency of modern cooling technologies, but […]
Arch boot capability demonstrated Linux With the root partition contents stored in Google Drive cloud storage. The idea is implemented by adding the google-drive-ocamlfuse FUSE module to the initramfs RAM disk image, which is launched by the kernel early in the boot process to mount the file system. This module provides access to Google Drive contents as a virtual file system. The FUSE-based virtual file system is used to store the root partition […]
