On the left his quote: “UTEC is honoured to be part of OQC’s mission of making quantum technology accessible to all and will support OQC’s expansion into Asia-Pacific through collaborations with academia including the University of Tokyo, and partnerships with Japan’s leading financial and tech corporations.”
So pleased to share that UTEC has co-led a Series A funding round of @OxfordQCircuits, a University of Oxford spin-out, who are putting the power of quantum in the hands of humanity to solve the world's most challenging problems.

The biggest update from the preprint is the addition of the ChRmine engineering.
Red-shifted action spectra (rsChRmine), faster kinetics (hsChRmine), and both (frChRmine)!
Very excited to share our first lab preprint on the structure and function of ChRmine, a completely new type of channelrhodopsin!
(Cryo-EM structure of ChRmine at 2.0Å resolution!)

This week we share the story of MUJIN, Inc., who enables industrial robots to be truly "intelligent" by installing 3D vision-based “eyes” and a robotic controller which enable the robot to make its own decisions while performing an operation.

MUJIN, Inc was started to create a solution that embeds intelligence in industrial robots and in 2019, it announced their partnership with Fast Retailing Co., to accelerate full automation of warehouses.
