Researchers from Delft University of Technology have teleported quantum information across a basic network, taking a big step towards the quantum Internet. This accomplishment was made feasible by significantly increased quantum memory and improved quantum link quality between the network’s three nodes.Read More

Billionaire Elon Musk was sued by Twitter investors claiming he manipulated the company’s stock price downward, as the chief executive of electric carmaker Tesla Inc mounts a $44 billion (roughly Rs. 3,41,552 crore) takeover bid for the social media platform.Read More
James Edward Huchingson, Professor emeritus and lecturer of Religion and Science at Florida International University, has published a piece to throw light on what the Voyager Probes could teach about humanity and legacy. The Golden Records have messages packed in a bottle, which include spoken greetings in 55 languages, sounds, and images from nature.Read More
A group of researchers has found a previously overlooked trove of massive black holes in dwarf galaxies. These black holes, the researchers believe, can offer insights into the journey of the supermassive black hole that sits at the centre of the Milky Way.Read More
ESA and partners are actively looking for options to launch Mars Rover Rosalind Franklin, a part of the ExoMars mission between Europe and Russia. As the plan was cancelled by ESA in March this year after Russia’s invasion of Europe, ESA can now plan to launch the mission alone, or teaming up with a partner…
Researchers from University of Chile found that the Pseudomonas bacteria, one of the predominant bacteria groups in the Antarctic Peninsula, can be a source of ‘resistance genes’. These bacteria are said to carry natural antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance and have the potential to spread out of the polar regions.Read More
Skygazers have an opportunity to see a new meteor shower, which will likely take place in the coming week. Named the Tau Herculids, this minor shower is set to fall from the shattered SW3 comet beginning May 30. The “shooting stars” event is set to peak on May 31. It will be seen across the US…
In a new research by scientists at University of Exeter, artificial intelligence (AI) can track the health of coral reefs by learning the “song of the reef”. The team used several recordings of healthy and deteriorated reefs to train a computer algorithm, allowing the machine to learn the difference.Read More
A group of engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA, has found a new way of modelling how waves break. Using machine learning and AI, they have tweaked the equations that were previously used for for designing and building offshore platforms and structures.Read More
Global warming is posing an existential threat to the Siberian tundra, the frozen lands near the Arctic Circle, researchers have said in a new study. They said that the tundra could virtually disappear by mid-millennium if temperatures continued to grow rapidly.Read More
