Japan launched its first homemade quantum computer
Japan turned on the first quantum computer designed and built with national components. The system is ready to take on workloads from the base of Osaka University’s Quantum Information Quantum Biology (QIQB). The new system, released on July 28, will replace all previously imported components with homemade technology, a representative from Osaka University said in […]

The “potentially dangerous” asteroid Bennu contains dust older than the solar system itself.
The asteroid Bennu, near Earth, contains stardust, older than our solar system, as well as organic materials and ice from interstellar space. Scientists around the world have bennu samples since 2023 brought asteroid material to Earth in 2023. This flew alongside the asteroid after a temporary landing in 2020 and scooping up samples courtesy of […]
Pig lungs transplanted to brain dead for nine days in the world’s first experiment
In the first experiment, a Chinese doctor transplanted lungs from genetically modified pigs into brain dead. Similar experiments involving brain-dead patients have been previously performed in the US, but have involved different pig organs such as the kidneys and heart, and previous experiments in China included pig liver. These experiments pave the path to pig […]
The new Pluton mission can reveal the hidden seas of the dwarf planet if the “Queen of the Underworld” flies
When NASA’s new horizon spacecraft surged by Plput in 2015, it revealed an incredible world of ice and haze carved by various geological processes. With the bounty of scientific wealth, researchers worked to solve some of the small world mysteries ten years after the spaceship flyby. “There are still many questions,” Carly Howet, a planetary […]
James Webb Space Telescope reveals 300 mysteriously bright objects. Are they galaxies or something else?
Hundreds of unexpected energy objects have been discovered throughout the distant universe, suggesting that the universe is perhaps much more active in childhood than astronomers once believed. Researchers at the University of Missouri used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Deep-Field images to identify 300 unusually bright objects in early universes. They could be galaxies, […]
Laser Blast’s “Black Metal” can make solar technology 15 times more efficient
Scientists looking for ways to increase the capacity of solar generators have discovered ways that can be 15 times more efficient. The breakthrough is located in the unique laser etched “black metal” developed by researchers over the past five years and is currently hoping to use it in solar thermal generators (STEGs). Steg is a […]
Why can’t you walk along the wall if the atoms are mostly empty space?
In the film, people are stepped down into ghostly walls. Consider “The Avengers” or Harry Potter going through platform 9¾. It looks easy. But in the real world, if you try that trick, you’ll end up with a nose and many questions. For example, one question is, why can’t you walk along the wall? The […]
“Minibrene” reveals the secrets of how important brain cells form in the uterus
Immune cells in the human brain may be important for regulating organ development within the uterus, as they cause a dramatic increase in critical types of neurons, new research suggests. Estimates suggest that these important cells, known as inhibitory interneurons, account for approximately 25% to 50% of neurons in the adult cortex, wrinkled tissues that […]
Forecasters predict La Niña’s condition this fall: what to expect
La Niña conditions can occur in autumn and early winter, but predictors say they will likely be weak and short-lived. La Niña is the cold stage of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a natural climate pattern of atmospheric and seawater temperature changes in the tropical Pacific Ocean. During La Niña, the Jetstream moves north, […]
