Software advance brings complex quantum simulations to standard computers

A major software advance could aid the creation of bigger, more reliable quantum computers, a study suggests. Researchers have developed an algorithm that enables off-the-shelf computers to run quantum simulations previously only possible using the world’s most powerful supercomputers.

Oct 14, 2026 – Has NASA finally found evidence of life on another planet?

‘Oh sh**’: BWC video shows suspected copper thief diving head-first through glass window

“A suspect took the phrase ‘Make a break for it’ a little too literally!” the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office stated in the release; the man had left his ID behind and was quickly arrested

Could drones stop a school shooter? Fla. high school is first to try

At Deltona High School, remote pilots can deploy drones with sirens, strobe lights and pepper gel; the company says it aims to reach an attacker within 15 seconds

A tiny magnetic whirlpool could point to a new kind of ultra-efficient memory

Every time a computer stores or erases information, it uses energy. The amount is tiny for a single operation, but those operations happen billions of times every second. For decades, scientists have wondered just how little energy a memory device could use before reaching the fundamental theoretical limit set by the laws of physics. Now, researchers have shown that it is possible to come close.

From spin wave to superconducting circuit: A one-way street for quantum information

Quantum information systems could one day shape everyday life through faster computing, sharper sensing and more secure communication. A new result from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (U. of I.) marks an important step toward enabling magnetic spins—a quantum property of matter that can be used to store and manipulate information—to play a role in the future of quantum information processing.

BWC: Suspect in stolen vehicle repeatedly rams cruisers, nearly hitting Ohio officers

Kettering PD Chief Christopher N. Protsman released a statement expressing disappointment that the suspect was sentenced to probation, despite his criminal record

Storing memory on a chip with flowing water

Like the folds in crumpled sheets or the footprints on recently trodden sand, certain materials mark their histories. Now, Yale researchers show that networks of flowing water and other fluids can store their own memories—similar to how a computer chip does—an innovation that could steer robots and provide insight into some simple organisms. The results are published in Physical Review X.

Robotic ‘time crystal’ organizes itself into a single rhythm despite random disturbances

Scientists have developed a material that can grow and coordinate its own movement until the entire structure pulses in unison, paving the way for versatile robots that behave more like living systems.

‘Immense sacrifice’: NYPD adds 42 names to officer Memorial Wall

Forty-one of the officers memorialized died from World Trade Center-related illnesses; Det. Didarul Islam, who was fatally shot while working a security detail, was also honored

New evidence points to two feeding black holes just 175 parsecs apart lurking in the early universe

Astronomers have found two actively feeding supermassive black holes separated by just 175 parsecs (570 light-years) in a galaxy seen when the universe was only about 2 billion years old. The system, MG B2016+112, lies at a redshift of 3.273 and is the most compact dual AGN known at this redshift. The study was posted to the arXiv preprint server on Sept. 25.

How lessons from fisheries management could help us govern Earth’s orbital space

The space industry is rapidly expanding. About 20,000 satellites already circle Earth, a number that could reach 100,000 by 2030. They bring growing environmental costs: space debris, collision risks, atmospheric pollution from launches and reentry and interference with astronomical observations.

Jamming the flow to enable memory in quantum materials

Understanding and controlling phase transitions are fundamental to physics and central to many technological revolutions. There is currently strong interest in materials with coupled structural and electronic phase transitions, where controlling the transition plasticity naturally yields built-in memory—a key step in emulating neurons and synapses for “neuromorphic” or brain-like computing technologies.

Astronomical nanosatellite VERTECS completes initial operations and begins scientific observations

A research team from the Kyushu Institute of Technology, Kwansei Gakuin University, Tokyo City University, Kanazawa University, the University of Tokyo and other institutions has successfully completed the test operations conducted since the satellite was released into orbit. Having confirmed that the satellite meets its specified performance requirements, the team has begun routine operations for scientific astronomical observations.

Quantum network test checks entanglement without having to trust detectors

Quantum networks are systems that connect different users or devices using principles of quantum mechanics. In the future, these networks could help improve the security of communications.
