IBM has built the largest quantum computer yet. Dubbed Osprey, it has 433 qubits, or quantum bits, which is more than triple the size of the company’s previously record-breaking 127-qubit computer and more than eight times larger than Google’s 53-qubit computer Sycamore.

Though quantum computers hold the promise of eventually solving problems that conventional computers could never tackle, there is no consensus on the best way to make one. IBM and Google base their qubits on circuits made from superconductors that conduct electricity perfectly. Others …

Ron Conway is basically the god father of Silicon Valley. He was an early investor in Google, Square, and Airbnb.

But when I met him at a party in San Francisco in 2017, I was filled with self-doubt. Our storytelling app, Hooked, was in its second year, and one of our seed investors had expressed interest in leading our Series A. But then he turned around and led the Series A for a company that had cloned our app.

With more people than ever leveraging technology to stay connected both personally and professionally, pressure on the global economy to keep up with increasing needs has skyrocketed.

The holiday season is usually a time when businesses bring in part-time and temporary workers to cope with a surge in demand from consumers. Gifts change hands, families and friends go out to celebrate, and the economy hums.

But this time may be different. There's growing uncertainty among retail analysts about spending this fall and a huge number of part-time workers have left the labor force. As a result, more businesses may be looking for flexible workers via online marketplaces.

Dubai: India is the fastest growing innovation ecosystem in the world where around 102 unicorns have been created in the last few years, Minister of State for Skill Development, Entrepreneurship, Electronics and Information Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar has said here.

Speaking at 'Vishwa Sadhhavna' event here on Saturday, Chandrasekhar said that none of these unicorns have famous last names. "They don't have any political connection. They have been built on enterprise and capability, and determination and hard work," he said.

Brittany Hoover wanted a career change. An adjunct professor teaching at the high school and college levels, she wanted to expand her skills and explore UX design—a growing area with plenty of opportunity. However, to break into the field she’d need training and a portfolio. To get both meant becoming a student again. But the cost put that path out of reach.

Can messenger RNA (mRNA) train the immune system to attack cancers that resist conventional treatments? To find out, researchers at Atlantic Health System are conducting a clinical trial, alongside other centres, to evaluate the efficacy of an experimental mRNA vaccine for patients with late-stage melanoma, the most lethal form of skin cancer.

“This trial really resonates with patients,” says oncologist, Eric Whitman, medical director of Atlantic Health’s oncology service line, who is leading the study locally at Morristown Medical Center (MMC) in New Jersey. “They’ve heard how effective mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are; using a similar technology to help their body recognize and destroy melanoma makes sense to them.”

"It feels like I'm running on fumes," my colleague Sandra said with a small laugh.

It was my first year building my startup from the ground up, and instead of reading between the lines, I laughed back saying "I hear you. Have you tried a daily exercise routine to give you more energy?"

Sandra just smiled politely and walked away.

When just starting out, many new business owners don't have all the financial tools or experience they may need to run a business successfully.

Solar power has been widely used all throughout the world as more countries opt for renewable sources of energy. However, there is a higher volume of solar energy in space where there is no day, night, and clouds that would limit us from harvesting power from the Sun.

Hence, a group of researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) is building a huge satellite that can harvest solar energy and then wirelessly transmit it back to our planet. If the project proves successful, it could power a wide range of places in the world.

Can we survive three minutes without air or three days without water? How about without batteries? Imagine not having a battery for three hours. Lightweight, high-capacity lithium-ion batteries are widely used in mobile phones, laptops, and other necessities in today’s world.
