Physicists demonstrate a way to conduct electricity between transistors without energy loss

Chinese researchers have created a new superconductor, a material that can transport electrical energy between transistors with such efficiency that there is no energy lost during the transfer. In an article in Science Daily, their discovery can lead to the development of electronics that can run on very little power and quantum computers whose speeds […]

Army scientists say they’ve found a way to block cyber hackers

Los Angeles-based researchers working for the U.S. Army announced that they have finally found the signature of the elusive Majorana fermion. According to an article on ScienceDaily, this theoretical particle will allow quantum encryption technologies that would block cyber hackers from accessing communication networks. The particle was named after Ettore Majorana, an Italian theoretical physicist who predicted its […]

U.S. Department of Energy finally decides to develop quantum computers after years of delay and avoidance

There can be only one winner in the battle for “quantum supremacy.” And the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has now, finally, made moves to ensure that it becomes that special one. According to a recent report on ScienceMag, the DOE has joined the quest to develop quantum computers in a bit to solve the […]
