When designing a next-generation quantum computer, a surprisingly large problem is bridging the communication gap between the classical and quantum worlds. Such computers need a specialized control and readout electronics to translate back and forth between the human operator and the quantum computer’s languages — but existing systems are cumbersome and expensive. However, a new system of control and readout electronics, known as Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, or QICK, developed by engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, has proved to drastically improve quantum computer performance while cutting the cost of control equipment. “The development of…

Gabourey Sidibe has every intention of making her wedding unique to her relationship. Growing up with a mother who was a wedding singer, Sidibe had seen it all, but her relationship with Brandon Frankel redefined what that fairy tale looked like to her.

I never knew what my back did for me until I broke it. Turns out, it did everything. It helped me stand, sit, and lie down. It helped me walk and run. But now a disc was bulging into my spinal cord, sending chills down to its tail and all the way to my toes. My entire body became tense, a rubber band stretched to its wavering limit.I was 20 years old and my expansive life was suddenly reduced to my dorm room, barely bigger than a bathroom. Sitting in a car could be agonizing. A staircase loomed like an…
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and Aalborg University presents a new study demonstrating that a small molecule in brain cells affects the level of hypocretin, which is responsible for making us feel awake during the day and tired at night. People with a genetic variation of this molecule have a higher risk of suffering from daytime sleepiness. When brain scientist Birgitte Kornum from the Department of Neuroscience recently arrived in Rome for one of the largest sleep conferences in the world, she was completely taken aback. There were pharmaceutical companies everywhere — with stands, information material and campaigns. They…
Andrew Woolfolk, whose soaring soprano saxophone put some air into the classic Earth, Wind, & Fire lineup, died on Sunday at the age of 71. His passing was confirmed by the band’s vocalist Philip Bailey in an Instagram post.

Astronomers have confirmed that an object they thought was a distant galaxy is actually the brightest extra-galactic pulsar ever seen. The team made the discovery using a technique that blocks a particular type of polarized light, similar to polarized sunglasses, which could be used to spy more ‘hidden’ pulsars. Pulsars are highly magnetized spinning neutron stars that form from the collapsed remnants of exploded stars. As pulsars spin, they release a stream of radio waves from their poles — a ‘pulse’ that can be detected using radio telescopes. Astronomers use pulsars to test theories of gravity and to look for…

China has imposed a fresh ban on raising funds using “virtual currency”, deeming the activity illegal. Any person engaging in collecting money for any cause using cryptocurrency will be subject to prison sentence in China. The degree of punishment will be decided according to the amount of capital one may have collected using virtual assets, but jail time is inevitable for all rule violators. The move comes as part of China’s stringent crackdown on all crypto–related activities.The development was announced on Thursday, February 24, by the Chinese Supreme People’s Court. If the amount of illegally or disguised absorption of public…
For the first time, original Children of Bodom members have publicly addressed what really happened with late bandleader Alexi Laiho and how it affected the Finnish melodic death metal band toward the end.Children of Bodom stopped playing in December 2019 after keyboardist Janne Wirman, drummer Jaska Raatikainen and bassist Henkka “Blacksmith” Seppala officially left the group. Around that time, Laiho told Finland’s Helsingin Sanomat that his three bandmates wanted to stop touring with Bodom for family reasons. A year later, Laiho died from alcohol abuse.This week, the three Bodom members opened up to the same newspaper, saying that Laiho’s behavior late in his career is what actually led…

Water flows mysteriously well through narrow carbon nanotubes, but now there is an explanation: it may all be due to quantum friction Physics 2 February 2022 By Chen Ly Narrow carbon nanotubes behave in an unusual wayShutterstock / ustas7777777 Water flows more easily through narrower carbon nanotubes than larger ones and we have struggled to explain why. Now, one team has an answer: it may all be due to quantum friction. Friction in its standard, classical sense is well understood by most people.

On May 9, Balenciaga started preorders on its limited-edition Paris High Top sneaker. What makes this version of the brand’s high-top shoe so special — as to warrant a limited run and a $1,850 price tag — is that they are “full destroyed.” The sneakers look like they have been worn for decades, complete with rips and a dirt-color-stained rubber sole. Comparatively, the regular Paris sneaker is $625 and offers the same style just without all the roughing up. Despite the many, many people on social media who are hoping the release is a joke, it is, in fact, a…
It’s worth pointing out that the link between a person’s DNA and their athletic achievements is very hard to pin down. There’s very little evidence that you can predict specific success by DNA alone. There are rare cases, like that of the Finnish skier Eero Mäntyranta, who possessed a genetic mutation that gave him vastly more red blood cells than the average person. But based on current science, having an athlete’s DNA doesn’t necessarily tell you all that much about their potential or performance. In 2015, the British Medical Journal published a “consensus statement” written by sports science experts arguing…
By Clare Wilson Illustration of a CAR-T cellKEITH CHAMBERS/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY A high-tech gene therapy for treating cancer, which uses what are called CAR-T cells, has put two people with an otherwise fatal form of leukaemia into remission for about 11 years, the longest follow-up for this treatment yet. While the same success may not happen for everyone who responds to CAR-T cells, the long-lasting results are a landmark for the field, says John Marshall at Barts Cancer Institute in London, who wasn’t involved in this study. “It shows that when you get it right, it works very well.” “We can now…
