Quantum breakthrough could revolutionize teleportation and computing

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest features of the quantum world. It describes a situation in which particles such as photons are so deeply linked that their properties cannot be fully understood one by one. Instead, the system has to be treated as a whole. That idea sharply conflicts…

New quantum algorithm solves “impossible” materials problem in seconds

Quantum computers and other advanced quantum technologies rely on specialized quantum materials that behave in unusual ways under the right conditions. In some cases, scientists can even create entirely new quantum properties by carefully changing a material’s structure. One striking example involves stacking sheets of graphene and twisting them into…

Scientists discover a mysterious silicone pollutant that may be everywhere

Scientists have identified surprisingly high levels of a little-known silicone pollutant in the atmosphere, raising new questions about possible risks to human health and the climate. The chemicals, known as methylsiloxanes, are commonly used in cosmetics, industrial products, transportation, and household items. Researchers found these compounds across a wide range…

Cacti are evolving shockingly fast and scientists just learned why

Cacti are famous for growing slowly, but scientists have discovered that these desert plants are actually evolving at an impressive pace. New research shows that cacti are remarkably quick at forming entirely new species, revealing that deserts are far more dynamic than they may seem. For decades, biologists believed that…

Your “um” and pauses could reveal early dementia risk

The way people speak during ordinary conversations could offer valuable insight into brain health, according to new research from Baycrest, the University of Toronto, and York University. Scientists found that subtle speech characteristics, including pauses, filler words such as (‘uh,’ ‘um’), and difficulty retrieving words, are closely connected to executive…
