A significant milestone has been reached in the field of quantum chemistry.
The Cold Atom Lab facility equipped on the International Space Station (ISS) has successfully generated a quantum gas composed of two distinct types of atoms for the first time in space.
A Zaha Hadid-designed property in Hong Kong will have AI-powered lifts that generate their own energy.
An urban oasis with next-gen elevators
The new structure replaces an old car park to create an urban oasis filled with gardens boasting many plants and trees. Getting to these gardens requires taking Henderson’s next-generation AI-powered lifts.
An official from Henderson properties told Baba that in the future there will be an AI-powered lift assigned to each user so they no longer have to wait for long periods on the ground or on a specific floor. The AI system will be able to appropriately coordinate the lifts to travel according to the number of people waiting for them and their final destinations.

More than a century ago, a wild-eyed, vegetarian, free love-promoting German entrepreneur and self-taught economist named Silvio Gesell proposed a radical reformation of the monetary system as we know it.
A long-forgotten German economist argued that society and the economy would be better off if money was a perishable good. Was he an anarchist crank or the prophet of a better world?
Scientists from the UK and South Korea have discovered a way to create laser pulses 1,000 times stronger than currently possible. Using computer simulations, they have discovered that a new way of compressing the light can drastically increase its intensity to such an extent that it can extract particles from a vacuum. This new technique could open up doors for important discoveries into the very nature of matter.
Uncover the nature of matter
Researchers from the University of Strathclyde, Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology (UNIST), and Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) have proposed a simple idea to revolutionize the next generation of lasers. They suggest using the gradient in the density of plasma, which is fully ionized matter, to cause photons to bunch together. This is similar to the way a group of cars bunches up as they encounter a steep hill. If this technique is successful, it could increase the power of lasers by more than one million times from what is currently achievable.
Warren Buffett, the venerated investor and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, is set to amass over $6 billion in dividend income in the coming year, with a significant portion of this windfall emanating from just three stocks. This substantial income stream underscores the effectiveness of Buffett’s investment strategy, one that favors profitability and long-term value.
Buffett’s predilection for dividend-bearing stocks isn’t just a matter of preference; it’s a testament to his investment acumen. Among his top dividend earners, Bank of America Corp BAC stands out, with expected dividend earnings of approximately $991.5 million. A leading financial institution, BofA has thrived in the higher interest rate environment, seeing a substantial increase in its net-interest income.
