Quantum enhancement discovery could improve medical technologies

Technologies such as biomedical imaging and spectroscopy could be enhanced by a discovery in research that involved several institutions, including the University of Glasgow. Scientists have found that two-photon processes, which have applications in the study of Alzheimer’s disease and other nervous system disorders, can be strengthened by quantum light at far higher levels than previously thought possible.

The processes normally require high-intensity light but this can cause samples to be damaged or bleached.

It was suggested many years ago—and has since been demonstrated—that entangled could overcome this limitation. However, it has been widely believed that this quantum enhancement only survives for very faint light, raising doubts about the usefulness of the approach.

Scientists Mapped the Secret World of Platinum Atoms — And It Changes Everything

Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a powerful method to look deep inside single-atom catalysts—materials where every atom plays a vital role in driving chemical reactions. By using a technique called nuclear magnetic resonance (similar to the technology behind MRI scans), they’ve uncovered how

Scientists Just Simulated the “Impossible” in Quantum Computing

Quantum computers hold incredible promise, but one major challenge still stands in the way: their struggle to correct errors during calculations. To build truly reliable quantum machines, scientists need to simulate these quantum processes on regular computers to make sure they’re working correct

Physicists Uncover Forgotten 1938 Fusion Breakthrough That Could Power the Future

Physicists confirm DT fusion insights from a 1938 experiment. The findings connect past theory with current fusion efforts. A team at Los Alamos National Laboratory has successfully recreated a significant yet largely overlooked physics experiment: the first recorded observation of deuterium-trit

Stars That Shouldn’t Shine Are Pointing Straight to Dark Matter’s Identity

Deep in the center of our galaxy, scientists believe a strange type of star may be quietly glowing—not from fusion like our Sun, but from the invisible fuel of dark matter.

These “dark dwarfs” could act like cosmic detectors, collecting heavy, elusive particles that heat them from the inside. If we find them—and especially if we spot one missing its lithium—it could finally point us toward what dark matter really is.

NightEagle APT Exploits Microsoft Exchange Flaw to Target China’s Military and Tech Sectors

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a previously undocumented threat actor called NightEagle (aka APT-Q-95) that has been observed targeting Microsoft Exchange servers as a part of a zero-day exploit chain designed to target government, defense, and technology sectors in China.

According to QiAnXin’s RedDrip Team, the threat actor has been active since 2023 and has switched network infrastructure at an extremely fast rate. The findings were presented at CYDES 2025, the third edition of Malaysia’s National Cyber Defence & Security Exhibition and Conference held between July 1 and 3, 2025.
