U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said China must stop exporting crude to North Korea, or “we can take the oil situation into our own hands.” “The dictator of North Korea made a choice yesterday that brings the world closer to war, not farther from it,” Haley said. “We have never sought war with …
Researchers from Google and the University of California Santa Barbara have taken an important step towards the goal of building a large-scale quantum computer. Writing in the journal Quantum Science and Technology, they present a new process for creating superconducting interconnects, which are compatible with existing superconducting qubit technology. The race to develop the first …
The University of Maryland has created the largest quantum simulation using 53 trapped-ion qubits. It is the largest quantum simulation ever performed with high- efficiency single-shot measurements of individual qubits. This provides access to arbitrary many-body correlators that carry information that is difficult or impossible to model classically. This experimental platform can be extended to …
The Microwave circulator is a key part of many quantum computer implementations and researchers has been miniaturized by 1000 times. Making parts like these smaller will help enable quantum computers with millions of qubits. Above – Lead author of the study, PhD candidate Alice Mahoney, in the quantum science laboratories at the Sydney Nanoscience Hub. …
Bitcoin surged past $11,000 before dropping back on some profit taking. Bitcoin has had about 442,000 in daily volume so far. So about $4-5 billion in trading volume. Brian WangBrian Wang is a Futurist Thought Leader and a popular Science blogger with 1 million readers per month. His blog Nextbigfuture.com is ranked #1 Science News …
Ars Technica reported that Comcast dropped its no paid prioritization pledge from its net neutrality page. Comcast has drawn a distinction between “paid prioritization” and “anti-competitive paid prioritization.” Paid prioritization should not be banned entirely, but “anti-competitive paid prioritization” should be limited. Comcast will do whatever can get away with to make more money Obviously …
MIT has a 3D printer that makes parts 10 times faster than current 3D Printers. Objects that take around an hour to print on conventional systems are done in a matter of minutes. – it can print 2 inch x 2 inch x 2 inch cubes in one hour – printhead can extrude at nearly …
Korean scientists have developed a potential cure for baldness by growing new hair. * they discovered that a protein called CXXC5 acts as negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway inside of a cell that is linked to follicle development and hair regeneration in adults. * they created a biochemical material called PTD-DBM PTD-DMB was …
Give more Russian athletes have been banned for life. The International Olympic Committee will decide next week whether Russia can compete at the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. As of Monday, the IOC has banned 19 Russian athletes and annulled 12 medals since it began two separate anti-doping investigations. One of the Russian scientists …
Pacific Rim 2 – Uprising will be out March 23, 2018. Jake Pentecost, son of Stacker Pentecost, reunites with Mako Mori to lead a new generation of Jaeger pilots, including rival Lambert and 15-year-old hacker Amara, against a new Kaiju threat. But basically it is more giant robots fighting more giant alien monsters. https://youtubeembedcode.com/en online …
