Rumor has it that gravitational waves might be detected soon - a late triumph for Einstein
Rigetti Computing uses liquid helium to cool experimental quantum computer chips to a fraction of a degree from absolute zero. The two-year-old company is trying to build the hardware needed to power a quantum computer, which could trounce any conventional machine by tapping into quantum mechanics.
Sugata Mitra is professor of Educational Technology at the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences at Newcastle University, England. “Our current system is training clerks. We have to change it if we don’t want to make people like machines,” said Mitra.
Canadian animal protection laws are routinely criticized for being weak, and certainly there is plenty of room for improvement. However, the reality is that both provincial and federal law ostensibly prohibit harming animals, with few exceptions.
In this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope cosmic snapshot, the spectacularly symmetrical wings of Hen 2-437 show up in a magnificent icy blue hue. Hen 2-437 is a planetary nebula, one of around 3000 such objects known to reside within the Milky Way.
Elon Musk is changing the world one idea at a time. First, with Tesla, the man so many people call the real life Tony Stark has done an incredible job of bringing electric vehicles to the mainstream. Second, Musk has been doing an impressive job over at SpaceX in the realm of space travel.
These students in Matamoros, Mexico, didn't have reliable Internet access, steady electricity, or much hope—until a radical new teaching method unlocked their potential.
New findings may eventually lead to a theory of how superconductivity initiates at the atomic level, a key step in understanding how to harness the potential of materials that could provide lossless energy storage, levitating trains and ultra-fast supercomputers.
The Hornsea project is expected to generate 1.2GW of power once it comes online -- the first wind farm in the world to exceed 1GW in capacity.
Nanotechnology, the ability to manipulate structures on an atomic level, has the potential to revolutionize our world.
It is hoped that this solar plant will eventually produce so much electricity that the nation will not only be able to meet its own energy needs, but also export the excess to Europe. The first section of the plant was turned on this afternoon by Morocco’s King Mohammed VI, and is expected to start churning out 160 megawatts.
From Lunar orbit, Earth is obviously habitable. But from a distant point in the galaxy, not so much.
Galaxy clusters are groupings of hundreds to thousands of galaxies bound together by gravity, and are the most massive structures found in the universe.
Sou Fujimoto Architects and Manal Rachdi OXO Architects have designed a green glass residential development in Paris.
Plane-like drones could someday beam 1Gbps to 10Gbps Internet down to Earth. Google has yet another Internet-in-the-sky program in the works. This one is called "Project Skybender," and it aims to outfit drones with millimeter wave transceivers—radios that work in a slice of the spectrum that could be used in next-generation "5G" networks.
