Princeton develops quantum chip with record-breaking qubit lifetime
Quantum computing has long promised to revolutionize technology, but key obstacles have prevented it from reaching its full potential. That is, qubits, the basic units of quantum information, quickly lose data. Now, engineers at Princeton University have built a quantum chip with qubits that last three times longer than any previous laboratory record. This breakthrough […]
Researchers have found evidence that dark energy weakens over time
A new study from the Royal Astronomical Society casts doubt on the long-held theory that a mysterious force known as “dark energy” is driving away distant galaxies at an ever-increasing rate. Instead, they show no evidence that the universe is accelerating and instead suggest that it may be starting to slow down. If confirmed, this […]

US invests $625 million to advance quantum information science
As part of strengthening the United States’ global leadership in cutting-edge technology, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced a $625 million investment to update five national quantum information science (QIS) research centers. These facilities were originally launched under the National Quantum Initiative Act and signed into law in 2018, and will continue to pioneer […]
Why is the UK still exporting recyclable waste?
Experts say that despite advances in the UK’s domestic recycling infrastructure, limited processing capacity and rising processing and energy costs mean that it is often cheaper for councils and private companies to export recyclable waste than to process it domestically. Although this would reduce costs, it would mean the UK’s existing recycling plants would close, […]
