3D-printed micro ion traps could solve quantum tech’s miniaturization problem

The existing bottleneck in efficiently miniaturizing components for quantum computers could be eased with the help of 3D printing.

Quantum computers tackle massive computational challenges by harnessing the power of countless tiny parts working seamlessly together. Trapped ion technology, where charged particles like ions are trapped by manipulating the , is one such component.

Current microfabrication techniques fall short when it comes to producing the complex electrode structures with optimal ion confinement suitable for quantum operations.

Researchers discover massive geo-hydrogen source to the west of the Mussau Trench

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the solar system. As a source of clean energy, hydrogen is well-suited for sustainable development, and Earth is a natural hydrogen factory. However, most hydrogen vents reported to date are small, and the geological processes responsible for hydrogen formation—as well as the quantities that can be preserved in geological settings—remain unclear.

Scientists Discover Mysterious Freshwater Reservoir Beneath the Ocean Floor. How Did It Get There?

A team drilled offshore Nantucket and recovered cores with water near drinking quality. Studies will trace nitrogen cycling and measure the age of this subseafloor reservoir. How did freshened water come to be trapped beneath the New England Shelf, how long has it remained there, and what volume

Quantum Computers Mimic Black Holes To Probe Cosmic Secrets

The difference between traditional computers and quantum computers is narrowing in their ability to simulate the scrambling of quantum information. A team of four researchers at RIKEN has successfully used two small quantum computers to simulate quantum information scrambling, a key process in qu

These Strange Stars Could Reveal the True Nature of Dark Matter

A new study suggests that mysterious “dark dwarfs” could provide crucial insights into the true nature of dark matter. Celestial objects known as dark dwarfs might be concealed near the center of our galaxy, and scientists believe they could help unlock the secrets of one of the biggest mysteries i

Treatment For Psychosis May Be ‘Fundamentally Flawed’, Study Finds

For decades, psychiatrists have treated psychosis as if it were separate conditions. People experiencing hallucinations and delusions might be diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe depression and related diagnoses, and receive completely different treatments based on diagnosis.

But new research suggests this approach may be fundamentally flawed.

Our latest study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, reveals that the brain changes driving psychotic symptoms are remarkably similar across these supposedly distinct mental health conditions. The findings could change how doctors choose treatments for the millions of people worldwide who experience psychosis.

Microsoft now enforces MFA on Azure Portal sign-ins for all tenants

Microsoft says it has been enforcing multifactor authentication (MFA) for Azure Portal sign-ins across all tenants since March 2025.

The company’s Azure MFA enforcement efforts were announced in May 2024 when Redmond began implementing mandatory MFA for all users signing into Azure to administer resources.

One year ago, in August 2024, Microsoft also warned Entra global admins to enable MFA for their tenants by October 15, 2024, to ensure users don’t lose access to admin portals.
