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.

Dark matter is one of the most mysterious things in the universe. But right up there in the same category are black holes — massive cosmic holes that seem to suck everything into them. Now, a new research paper posits that black holes and dark matter may go hand in hand thanks to parasitic black holes living inside of stars.
I know that’s a lot to take in, and I thought the same thing when I was reading through a new paper featured in The Astrophysical Journal . The new paper suggests that black holes might be living inside stars throughout the universe, eating away at them from the inside.
It’s a terrifying thesis and one that becomes even more terrifying when you think about the possibility of a black hole being inside our sun, eating away at it until the sun eventually dies. But just how much merit is there to this claim? Could parasitic black holes really be the cause of dark matter in the universe?
