Physicists in Europe have successfully demonstrated the relationship between quantum uncertainty and wave-particle duality, confirming a 2014 theoretical prediction. The experiment, conducted by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden, used orbital angular momentum states of light to show that a minimum level of uncertainty must always result when a measurement is made on a quantum…

The US Treasury Department has sanctioned a Chinese cybersecurity company, Sichuan Silence Information Technology, and one of its researchers, Guan Tianfeng, for a 2020 cyberattack that targeted 81,000 firewalls worldwide, including 23,000 in the US. The malware was designed to steal data and deploy ransomware, potentially causing serious injury or loss of human life. The…
Google has announced its latest quantum computing chip, Willow, which has left the tech industry stunned with its incredible performance claims. According to Google, the chip’s speed and reliability are so impressive that they suggest the existence of parallel universes, a concept that has long been the realm of science fiction. While some experts have…
Researchers in Israel and China have warned that the rising popularity of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) could lead to a significant surge in electronic waste, potentially reaching 2.5 million tons annually by 2030. The study’s authors have developed a framework to quantify and evaluate the e-waste generated by GAI, and they propose various mitigation measures…
The rapid growth of generative AI has led to a surge in energy consumption, with some estimates suggesting that the AI sector could soon draw as much energy annually as the Netherlands. As the technology continues to advance, experts are sounding the alarm about the environmental impact of generative AI, from electricity generation and server…
Google has unveiled its first-ever AI agent, Project Mariner, which can take actions on the web, navigating websites and performing tasks like a human would. The agent, powered by Google’s Gemini technology, is currently being tested by a small group of users and has the potential to significantly impact the way people interact with the…
Researchers at Google Quantum AI have achieved a significant breakthrough in quantum error correction, developing a quantum processor with error rates that decrease as the number of qubits grows. This achievement could lead to the creation of more complex algorithms and longer calculations on quantum computers. The team used a new superconducting processor called Willow,…
Google DeepMind has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can predict the weather more accurately than the best system currently in use. The model, called GenCast, generates forecasts up to 15 days in advance and does so in minutes, rather than the hours needed by today’s forecasting programs. GenCast has been trained on historical…
Ripple’s 400% rally has sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency world, reigniting interest in altcoin investments. However, attention is shifting toward the next big opportunity – Lightchain AI, a groundbreaking platform that seamlessly integrates artificial intelligence with decentralized technology. With its presale price set at $0.003, Lightchain AI is positioned to deliver a rally that could…
