Someday, somehow, quantum computing is going to change the world as we know it. Even the lamest quantum computer is orders of magnitude more powerful than anything we could ever make today

It’s simultaneously comforting and terrifying to imagine that everything that ever could happen does happen. You didn’t make that horribly tasteless joke that got you fired and somehow the new Daft Punk single sucks! This isn’t just a thought experiment; it’s a very real possibility teased by every quantum physics experiment ever. More »

Alt-week 11.03.12: zombie animals, martian methane and self healing buildings
Posted in: Today's ChiliAlt-week peels back the covers on some of the more curious sci-tech stories from the last seven days.
After a week where large numbers of people found themselves at the mercy of mother nature, many will be reminded just how vulnerable we really can be at times. That said, science still provides us with a pretty big stick to whack many other problems with. After the break we look at how crumbling buildings could soon be self-healing, why some UK-based scientists think they are one step closer to answering the “is light made of waves or particles” quandary, and NASA reveals its latest results in the hunt for martian methane. Oh, and there’s some zombie animals too. This is alt-week.

You probably don’t know much about quantum physics beyond the fact that it’s really complicated. Allow us to add to your pseudo-knowledge a little more; this is what it looks like to learn it. More »
