A new preprint estimates that a quantum computer built from 22,593 so-called cat qubits could break RSA-2048 encryption, a widely used standard for online security, in 3.14 days. ScienceAlert reported on the work, which comes from a team led by researchers at…
Graphene mesosponge proves highly effective in improving energy and power densities in commercial lithium-ion batteries Their research was published in the journal Advanced Energy Materials on October 8, 2026. Scientists have explored the use of pure nickel oxide as an electrode candidate…
Justin Drake aims to finish Ethereum’s post-quantum upgrade by December 2028. Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake said he hopes to complete the post-quantum upgrade of Ethereum’s base protocol by December 2028. He made the comment on November 3 at Devcon 8 in Mumbai, setting…

One of the biggest obstacles in quantum computing is surprisingly simple to describe: how do you read information without changing or destroying it? Unlike the bits used in ordinary computers, quantum bits, or qubits, are extraordinarily sensitive to measurement. Trying…
U.S. Army soldiers train with the 20-kW AMP-HEL laser mounted on an Infantry Squad Vehicle in Texas to strengthen mobile counter-drone defenses. U.S. Army 101st Airborne Trains with Mobile 20-kW AMP-HEL Laser to Counter Drones at Southern Border. U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division soldiers trained…
WAKA 8 WAKA Action 8 News Storm Threat Continues This Evening A frontal boundary moves into the region tonight into Thursday. This system will help generate showers and t-storms as it works through the state. There could be a few strong to…
Everything you’ve ever seen or experienced on Earth was once a nebulous collection of floating gas and dust. Science is starting to understand how those particles came to take the forms you recognize today, teaching us about Earth’s primordial history…
But the prize is so glittering (the fusion sector is estimated to be worth up to £12 TRILLION) that a global race to be first is on - and it is a race that Britain is currently winning. And that's a sentence…
Balancing momentum jumps with negative quantum effects offers an exact emergence of classicality, unlike previous approximations requiring timescale restrictions or vanishing Planck’s constants. This work establishes concrete conditions, an inequality relating environmental ‘kicks’ to potential shape, under which strictly classical…
