A new project lets scientists use real quantum machines to try out blockchain tasks. The team behind Quip. Network is building a shared network where old‑school computers and quantum devices work together. Researchers from top schools have already signed up, and some teams have submitted usefu
DNA is not a straight stick; its shape changes with the chemicals around it. Scientists have long known that normal salt can tighten DNA, making it shorter by shielding charges or pulling strands together. Recently, a different group of salts called ionic liquids has been shown to do the oppos
In the United Kingdom, people who look after horses are starting to see a new helper: artificial intelligence. Instead of waiting for a vet’s diagnosis, some owners can now use apps that analyse video footage or sensor data to spot problems early. This shift has sparked a mix of excitement and

Scientists found a protein in farmed tilapia that acts like an infection alarm. Called IRF5, it helps fish cells recognize threats like viruses and bacteria. When attackers show up, IRF5 gets more active in the fish’s head kidney—a place where immune cells are stored. This isn’t just some minor reac
In a recent conversation, the golfer known for his science‑based swing and massive YouTube following shared his thoughts on life in a new golf league, team dynamics, and personal goals. He explained that his current contract year feels like a chance to align better with the league’s direction, much
