Researchers Say They’ve Come Up With a Blueprint for Creating a Wormhole in a Lab

Posted by in categories: computing, cosmology, particle physics, quantum physics

Published in the journal Quantum Science and Technology, Saleh’s research focused on a novel quantum computing technique that should — at least on paper — be able to reconstitute a small object across space “without any particles crossing.”

While it’s an exciting prospect, realizing his vision will require a lot more time and effort — not to mention next-generation quantum computers that haven’t been designed, let alone built yet. That is if it’s even possible at all.

Counterportation can be achieved, the study suggests, by the construction of a small “local wormhole” in a lab — and as the press release notes, plans are already underway to actually build the groundbreaking technology described in the paper.

An AI Learned to Play Atari 6,000 Times Faster

Posted by in categories: information science, robotics/AI

We don’t learn by brute force repetition. AI shouldn’t either.


Despite impressive progress, today’s AI models are very inefficient learners, taking huge amounts of time and data to solve problems humans pick up almost instantaneously. A new approach could drastically speed things up by getting AI to read instruction manuals before attempting a challenge.

The Future of VPNs

Posted by in categories: computing, internet

This post is also available in: he עברית (Hebrew)

According to a report done by Surfshark VPN, out of the approximately 5 billion of internet users, over 1.6 billion of them (31% of users) use a VPN. That’s close to a fifth of the worlds population.

A VPN, or a Virtual Private Network, is a mechanism for creating a secure connection between a computing device and a computer network, or between two networks, using an insecure communication medium such as the public Internet. A VPN can extend a private network (one that disallows or restricts public access), enabling users to send and receive data across public networks as if their devices were directly connected to the private network.

Immediate complete revascularization found to be as safe, effective as staged procedure in treating multi-vessel disease

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

In patients with multi-vessel heart disease who have had a heart attack, immediate treatment with stents in all diseased arteries was found to be as safe and effective at one year of follow-up as staged treatment, according to findings from the first large, randomized trial to address this question that is being presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session Together With the World Congress of Cardiology. In staged treatment, the blocked artery that caused the heart attack is treated with a stent immediately and other partially blocked arteries are treated in a second procedure up to six weeks later. This study was simultaneously published online in The Lancet at the time of presentation.

About half of patients who have a have multi-vessel heart disease—this means that in addition to having one completely blocked that caused their heart attack, they have additional narrowed coronary arteries that are at risk of becoming blocked or unstable, leading to another heart attack. Clinicians refer to the blocked artery that causes a heart attack as the “culprit lesion” and to the other at-risk arteries as “non-culprit lesions.”

“The purpose of the international, randomized BIOVASC trial was to compare outcomes for immediate and staged complete for patients with multi-vessel heart disease who have suffered a heart attack. The goal was not to determine which approach was superior but rather to establish whether immediate complete vascularization was ‘not inferior’ to the staged approach, which needed to be answered first,” said Roberto Diletti, MD, Ph.D., an interventional cardiologist at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and lead author of the study.
