Major scientific breakthroughs and astronomical events have been on display this week with the remarkable development of a new kind of quantum processor that lasts 15 times longer than those used by Google and IBM.
The processor is above all a crucial step on the road to stable quantum computing. Scientists must overcome key challenges such as processor dephasing time in milliseconds and the extreme scarcity of tantalum.
Scientists have developed a 4K thermal imaging system for smartphones, inspired by the infrared thermal vision of snakes.
Meanwhile, the Japanese military has successfully tested a 100-kilowatt laser weapon designed to cut through metal and neutralize drones in flight.
3I/ATLAS makes its closest pass to Earth. Where is it going?
3I/ATLAS passed its closest point to Earth this week and is now about to leave our solar system.
Since its discovery in July, Comet 3I/ATLAS has baffled astronomers and sky watchers alike.
As reported by LiveScience, it whizzed behind the sun, instantly brightening and changing color several times as it radiated its highly irradiated coma.
In fact, artificial intelligence models are taking crucial steps toward solving increasingly difficult mathematical problems. The idea that they will soon eclipse humans remains an unproven hypothesis.
This week’s remarkable science photo shows one of the strongest, long-lasting cosmic explosions ever observed: a seven-hour blast originating from stellar remnants.
The incredible combination of cosmic discoveries and computational intelligence provides a powerful way to paint a picture of the world, pushing the boundaries of the impossible every day.
