A court in India has ordered the blocking of encrypted email provider Proton Mail across the country, following a legal complaint filed by a local firm alleging that its employees received obscene and vulgar content via the service. The move has sparked concerns about the impact on online security and the potential for similar restrictions…
A team of researchers from Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences has made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of quantum communication. They have developed a novel quantum transducer that can convert optical frequencies into microwave frequencies with low loss, paving the way for more efficient and scalable quantum computing. This…
A coalition of over 50 research teams in Brazil has conducted a massive experiment to replicate the findings of biomedical studies, with dismaying results. The teams were able to replicate less than half of the tested experiments, highlighting the need for stronger scientific practices in the country. The study’s authors are calling for changes to…

Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery, finding a massive interstellar cloud just 300 light-years from Earth. Dubbed Eos, this cloud is the closest of its kind ever found and offers a unique opportunity to study molecular cloud formation and dissipation up close. The cloud is estimated to be 5,500 times as massive as the sun…
In a recent blog post, Anthropic, a US-based AI company, expressed support for the US government’s proposed export controls on domestically made AI chips. However, the company suggested some tweaks to the restrictions, including lowering the number of chips Tier 2 countries can purchase without review and increasing funding to ensure proper enforcement. This move…
Researchers have proposed a new theoretical work that could reconcile quantum entanglement with Einstein’s theory of relativity by introducing an extra time dimension. This idea, inspired by conversations with Roger Penrose, suggests that particles could have five-dimensional wavefunctions, allowing for instantaneous collapse of the wavefunction without violating causality. A hypothetical experiment has been proposed to…
Researchers have found hundreds of cases where artificial intelligence (AI) tools were used in scientific papers without disclosure. This has raised concerns about the integrity of scientific research, with some experts warning that the use of AI without transparency could lead to inaccurate or misleading results. Publishers are scrambling to create guidelines for the ethical…
