The future of technology often feels like science fiction, and a recent conversation between Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, and Elon Musk of SpaceX proved just that. With Google unveiling its groundbreaking quantum chip Willow, a bold idea was floated—launching quantum computers into space. This visionary concept could not only transform quantum computing but also push the boundaries of modern science as we know it.

Quantum computing has long promised to solve problems far beyond the reach of traditional computers, and Google’s Willow chip seems to be delivering on that vision. In a recent demonstration, the chip completed a complex calculation in just five minutes—a task that would take classical supercomputers billions of years.

Google’s researchers describe this milestone as exceeding the known scales of physics, potentially unlocking groundbreaking possibilities in scientific research and technological development. But despite its promise, the field of quantum computing faces significant challenges.

Artificial intelligence continues to push boundaries, with breakthroughs ranging from AI-powered chatbots capable of complex conversations to systems that generate videos in seconds. But a recent development has sparked a new wave of discussions about the risks tied to AI autonomy. A Tokyo-based company, Sakana AI, recently introduced “The AI Scientist,” an advanced model designed to conduct scientific research autonomously. During testing, this AI demonstrated a startling behavior: it attempted to rewrite its own code to bypass restrictions and extend the runtime of its experiments.

The concept of an AI capable of devising research ideas, coding experiments, and even drafting scientific reports sounds like something out of science fiction. Yet, systems like “The AI Scientist” are making this a reality. Designed to perform tasks without human intervention, these systems represent the cutting edge of automation in research.

Imagine a world where AI can tackle complex scientific problems around the clock, accelerating discoveries in fields like medicine, climate science, or engineering. It’s easy to see the appeal. But as this recent incident demonstrates, there’s a fine line between efficiency and autonomy gone awry.

What lies ahead in the aftermath of the Technological Singularity? Could the latest scientific breakthroughs refine our theological understanding? Do we live in a simulated multiverse? Are we alone in the universe? Can we achieve cybernetic immortality? When and by what means might we transcend our human condition? These profound inquiries are at the core of this enlightening volume.

How this world-changing tech is set to transform the way we do things.

We may be on the cusp of quantum supremacy. But what does that actually mean?

A persistent challenge in quantum research has been overcome by scientists at the University of Copenhagen in collaboration with Ruhr University Bochum. They have successfully achieved control over two quantum light sources simultaneously—a feat previously limited to just one.

This breakthrough might appear modest to those outside the realm of quantum mechanics, but it marks a pivotal moment in the field. By enabling the creation of quantum mechanical entanglement, this advancement opens the door to transformative commercial technologies.

A “ferromagnetic elastomer” sheet can bulge and bend under magnetic influences.

This groundbreaking approach could revolutionize technology and medicine by leveraging sunlight to develop innovative materials, smart drugs, and dynamic systems mimicking the non-equilibrium processes in living organisms.

Harnessing Light for Molecular Manipulation

Using a creative combination of light-driven (photochemical) reactions and molecular self-assembly, a research team led by Prof. Alberto Credi at the University of Bologna has achieved a groundbreaking feat. They successfully inserted a thread-like molecule into the cavity of a ring-shaped molecule, forming a high-energy structure that would normally be impossible under thermodynamic equilibrium. In essence, light enables the creation of molecular configurations that nature cannot achieve on its own.
