Most moms and dads desire their kids to be intelligent as well as effective. And while some experts have motivated parents to teach their kids coding, new research is pointing to music as the entrance to smarter children.While coding does permit an excellent advantage when it comes to technology, it lacks several benefits that...
A donut-shaped magnetic confinement device called a tokamak is one of the leading designs for a working fusion power generator, with many such experiments running worldwide.

Credit: The Quantum InsideWith dozens of start-ups in the emerging field of quantum computing, alongside giants like IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, the possibility of producing revenue from what is essentially a research and development venture is daunting. Publicly-traded quantum start-ups such as IonQ and D-Wave Systems, which do not have a non-quantum line...
Along each of the three axes of measurement, a mechanical accelerometer is connected to the reference mirror of the atom interferometer, resulting in a classic/quantum hybridization that permits continual acceleration measurement with an ultralow proclivity. Measurements of the three vector components are utilized to determine the acceleration vector in any direction. The sensor is...
An abstract depiction of a data channel.

Since then, China was touting a super-advanced 66-qubit quantum supercomputer called "Zuchongzhi" as...
Illustration by The Project TwinsWhen Yanina Bellini Saibene has started her career in information science at the National Institute of Agricultural Innovation in La Pampa, Argentina, she was not fluent in English. She had learned a little English at secondary school. However, her family could not afford the added courses she would have required...
Even though conventional processors have bested Google’s Sycamore chip, they won’t hold their lead for longSuperfast algorithm place crimp in 2019 claim that Google's machine had achieved "quantum supremacy."If the quantum computing era dawned three years earlier, its rising sun might have ducked behind a cloud. In 2019, Google scientists claimed they had passed...
Single-photon emission by a self-assembled GaN/AlN quantum dot. Credit: J. StachurskiTo achieve quantum technology, we need to create a non-classical source of lights that can produce a single photon at a time and accomplish this on-demand. Researchers at EPFL have now developed one of these single-photon emitter that can operate at room temperature. Based...
