These compounds can kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a bacterium that causes deadly infections.


Using artificial intelligence, MIT researchers discovered a class of compounds that can kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a drug-resistant bacterium that causes more than 10,000 deaths in the U.S. each year.

Quantum computing is often hailed as the next frontier of technology, promising to solve some of the most complex and challenging problems in science, engineering, and business. But how close are we to achieving this quantum dream, and what are the limitations of this emerging field?

As IEEE Spectrum shares in its detailed report, some of the leading voices in quantum computing have recently expressed doubts and concerns about the technology’s current state and prospects. They argue that quantum computers are far from being ready for practical use and that their applications are more restricted than commonly assumed.

The vessel’s design significantly reduces drag through hydrofoiling and realizing an impressive 80 percent energy savings.


The Open, designed by BMW Group Designworks, boasts an expansive cabin that spans 14.8 meters in length and 4.5 meters in width. It includes a flush deck featuring a two-seater helm station, a sheltered galley with ample seating, a double sunbed at the stern, and a spacious relaxation area on the foredeck.

The firms claim that by significantly reducing drag through hydrofoiling and realizing an impressive 80 percent energy savings, The Open surpasses traditional day yachts that typically consume over 150 liters of fossil fuels per hour. Hydrofoil technology uses a foil or wing underwater to lift the boat’s hull until it is totally outside the water.
