Quantum Computers will be faster and more powerful than Classical computers for optimization problems and quantum simulations by 2025

by

A new technological prediction Quantum Computers will be faster and more powerful than Classical computers for optimization problems and quantum simulations by 2025 There are several possibilities for quantum computers with many thousands of qubits. There is Dwave Systems and their superconducting adiabatic quantum computer. They have had a 512 qubit superconducting chip for over …

Faster-Than-Light Neutrino Puzzle Claimed Solved by Special Relativity

by

Technology Review – a likely but unconfirmed explaination for the faster than light experiement measurements has been put forward. The relativistic motion of clocks on board GPS satellites exactly accounts for the superluminal effect, says physicist. The radio waves carrying the time signal must travel at the speed of light, regardless of the satellites’ speed. …

Highlights of the Krivit’s third report on Rossi-Focardi Energy Catalyzer

by

Cold Fusion Now has gone through the Krivit’s third report Although most of the criticisms have been made elsewhere, Krivit has helpfully (for those critical of Rossi’s claims, at least) provided a clearinghouse for them. The arguments supporting Krivit’s claim that the E-Cat achieves an energy gain of only one or two times input power …

Antimagnets: Controlling magnetic fields with superconductor-metamaterial hybrids

by

Arxiv – Antimagnets: Controlling magnetic fields with superconductor-metamaterial hybrids Magnetism is very important in science and technology, from magnetic recording to energy generation to trapping cold atoms. Physicists have managed to master magnetism – to create and manipulate magnetic fields- almost at will. Surprisingly, there is at least one property which until now has been …

Anti-aging hormone Klotho may prevent complications in chronic kidney disease

by

Low levels of the anti-aging hormone Klotho may serve as an early warning sign of the presence of kidney disease and its deadly cardiovascular complications, according to findings by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers. Using mice, investigators found that soft-tissue calcification, a common and serious side effect of chronic kidney disease (CKD), improves when Klotho …

Plutonium in perspective

by

Bernard L. Cohen, describes the situation with Plutonium One often hears that in large-scale use of plutonium we will be creating unprecedented quantities of poisonous material. Since plutonium is dangerous principally if inhaled, it should be compared with other materials which are dangerous to inhale. If all of our electricity were derived from breeder reactors, …
