Air pollution is known to cause heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory diseases such as emphysema and is responsible for about seven million premature deaths every year. This underlying health damage means long-standing air pollution in cities is likely to increase the death rate from respiratory infections, such as coronavirus. Long-standing air pollution in cities … Read more

Researchers have implicated ion quantum computing using giant atomic ions (Rydberg ions) and discovered a new way to speed up quantum computing that can pave the way for the massive leap forward in computer processing power. Researchers have discovered a new way to speed up quantum computing that can pave the way for the huge leap … Read more
Scientists have made great strides in quantum computing over the past few years. To introduce “quantum fraud” detection tests, they have defined a set of tests that computers with quantum-based memory can pass, but traditional computers and classical imposters will fail. Physicists introduce quantum fraud detection tests. Image Credit: Luana Azevedo, Via Physics Central Scientists Introduce … Read more
Crying is a natural emotional expression that can sometimes be healthy with enormous therapeutic benefits. Crying can also indicate a serious underlying problem when it goes out of control. Crying is known to have a calming effect and when humans cry in response to stress, emotional tears contain a large number of stress hormones and … Read more
The researchers from Cambridge University have discovered a way to observe mysterious quantum particles even without directly observing them and they have demonstrated the ability to track uncontrolled or unobserved quantum particles instead of measuring the quantum body itself while testing how quantum objects interact with their environment. The researchers from Cambridge University have discovered … Read more
The 2018 Nobel Prize winners for economic sciences The 2018 Nobel Prize for economic sciences shared by William D. Nordhaus and Paul M. Romer The 2018 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded on Monday to a pair of American economists, William D. Nordhaus from Yale University, US, and Paul M. Romer from New York … Read more
In 2018, the brutal rape and murder of 8-year-old Asifa Bano in Kathua shocked India. But what followed was even more disturbing—public rallies defending the accused, many driven by religious and political bias. This case exposed a dangerous mentality: when identity politics overshadow justice, even the most horrific crimes are defended. Why do some people … Read more
