Quantum technology can process an enormous amount of data and solve complex problems in seconds rather than decades. Remarkably, quantum technology first appeared in the early 1900s. It originated ...

FRBs act as beams of electromagnetic energy, like strong flashlights, that pass through these groups of matter, interacting with particles that change the frequency of FRB waves. Sensors on Earth can ...

For years, physicists have been baffled by the discovery of mysterious “ghost particles”. The scientific name for them is “neutrinos”, which are neutral sub-atomic particles with no electric charge.

Researchers have successfully used artificial intelligence to design viral genomes, which were then constructed and tested in a lab setting. The AI-generated viruses effectively infected bacteria, ...

One often-repeated example illustrates the mind-boggling potential of quantum computing: A machine with 300 quantum bits could simultaneously store more information than the number of particles in the ...

We haven’t mined on the moon yet, but companies are already buying its resources. Finnish tech firm Bluefors, a maker of ultracold refrigerator systems critical for quantum computing, has purchased ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

A California outfit has used artificial intelligence to design viral genomes before they were then built and tested in a laboratory. Following this, bacteria was then successfully infected with a ...

Can AI create a life form? These “generative” genomes are a start Artificial intelligence can draw cat pictures and write emails. Now the same technology can compose a working genome. A research team ...

Scientists are like prospectors, excavating the natural world seeking gems of knowledge about physical reality. And in the century just past, scientists have dug deep enough to discover that reality’s ...

WELCOME TO GLOBAL SECURITY. We’re talking quantum tech, the military drone industry and why not to bet on Congress outflanking U.S. President Donald Trump on Russia sanctions. Read more about our ...
