Quantum Magic: How Scientists Are Untangling the Universe’s Weirdest Mystery

Posted by in categories: futurism, quantum physics

Carl Kocher demystifies quantum entanglement through experimental evidence, challenging classical physics and enriching our understanding of quantum paradoxes.

Quantum entanglement may be hard to get your head around, but it’s believed to be the key to future technological applications in quantum information. In this guest editorial, inspired by his new article in Frontiers in Quantum Science and Technology, Prof Carl Kocher explains his groundbreaking 1964–67 experiments in quantum entanglement and helps us stretch our minds to understand this apparently paradoxical phenomenon.

My new article, ‘Quantum Entanglement of Optical Photons: The First Experiment, 1964−67’, is intended to convey the spirit of a small research project that reaches into uncharted territory. The article breaks with tradition, as it offers a first-person account of the strategy and challenges for the experiment, as well as an interpretation of the final result and its significance. In this guest editorial, I will introduce the subject and also attempt to illuminate the question ‘What is a paradox?’

Nonsurgical Neural Interfaces Could Significantly Expand Use of Neurotechnology

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical, computing, cyborgs, internet, nanotechnology, neuroscience

Noninvasive braincomputer interfaces could vastly improve brain computer control.


Over the past two decades, the international biomedical research community has demonstrated increasingly sophisticated ways to allow a person’s brain to communicate with a device, allowing breakthroughs aimed at improving quality of life, such as access to computers and the internet, and more recently control of a prosthetic limb. DARPA has been at the forefront of this research.

The state of the art in brain-system communications has employed invasive techniques that allow precise, high-quality connections to specific neurons or groups of neurons. These techniques have helped patients with brain injury and other illnesses. However, these techniques are not appropriate for able-bodied people. DARPA now seeks to achieve high levels of brain-system communications without surgery, in its new program, Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3).

Scientists discover new code governing gene activity

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics

A newly discovered code within DNA—coined “spatial grammar”—holds a key to understanding how gene activity is encoded in the human genome.

This breakthrough finding, identified by researchers at Washington State University and the University of California, San Diego and published in Nature, revealed a long-postulated hidden spatial grammar embedded in DNA. The research could reshape scientists’ understanding of and how genetic variations may influence in development or disease.

Transcription factors, the proteins that control which genes in one’s genome are turned on or off, play a crucial role in this code. Long thought of as either or repressors of gene activity, this research shows the function of transcription factors is far more complex.
