Japan has successfully launched the world’s first wooden satellite, LignoSat, into space in an attempt to prove that wood can be used as a space-grade material. The satellite, designed by researchers at Kyoto University, is made from honoki, a type of magnolia tree traditionally used to make sword sheaths. The team conducted a 10-month experiment … Read more
Japanese scientists have successfully constructed the world’s first satellite made of wood, combining traditional woodworking techniques with modern rocket science. The innovative project showcases the versatility of this ancient material in the field of space technology. Researchers from Japan have employed age-old woodworking methods to craft the wooden components of the satellite, which was then … Read more
Scientists have launched the world’s first wooden satellite into space as part of a study on reducing space junk. The device, called LignoSat, is made from timber and will burn up in the atmosphere when it re-enters space, potentially preventing metal particles from damaging the environment and telecommunications. The 10cm box-like satellite was launched successfully … Read more
NASA has successfully launched a wooden satellite, LignoSat, aboard a SpaceX Dragon cargo capsule to the International Space Station (ISS). The tiny spacecraft, measuring 4 inches on each side, is made primarily of magnolia wood and aims to reduce pollution from conventional satellites. Unlike traditional satellites, which burn up in Earth’s atmosphere at the end … Read more

Rigetti and Riverlane have demonstrated real-time, low-latency quantum error correction using a 84-qubit Ankaa-Qual quantum processing unit (QPU). The collaboration achieved error correction with processing times under one microsecond, crucial for avoiding data backlog in quantum computing. Leveraging Rigetti’s superconducting qubits, the experiment successfully utilized fast feedback to maintain coherent qubit states. Real-time error correction … Read more
Riverlane’s CEO Steve Brierley emphasized the importance of quantum error correction in unlocking the full potential of quantum computing at the 2024 Quantum World Congress. The company developed its first quantum error correction (QC) chip, DD1, which achieves a “logical error rate of one in a trillion” by efficiently processing error data. Riverlane aims to … Read more
