An Irish startup has created the world’s first silicon-based quantum computer — it can still integrate seamlessly with classical computing in data centers.
Hardships in childhood could have lasting effects on the brain, new research shows, with adverse events such as family conflict and poverty potentially affecting cognitive function in kids for several years afterwards.
This study, led by a team from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Massachusetts, looked specifically at white matter: the deeper tissue in the brain, made up of communication fibers ferrying information between neurons.
“We found that a range of adversities is associated with lower levels of fractional anisotropy (FA), a measure of white matter microstructure, throughout the whole brain, and that this is associated with lower performance on mathematics and language tasks later on,” write the researchers in their published paper.

It’s hard to interpret the strange results of quantum mechanics, though many have tried. Interpretations range from the outlandish—like the multiple universes of Many Worlds, to the almost mundane, like the very mechanical Pilot Wave Theory. But perhaps we’re converging on an answer, because some are arguing that these two interpretations are really the same thing.

A new hybrid–electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle aimed at personal ownership and flying has been introduced by a London startup.
The three-seater Sigma flying vehicle from AltoVolo would feature a tilting jet propulsion system with a promise of a range of 500 miles and a cruising speed of 220 mph.
The vehicle would use batteries for vertical take-off and landing and liquid fuel for long-range flight, according to the company.
