A team of researchers from Seoul National University, Stanford University, and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology has made a groundbreaking discovery in camera technology. They have developed a metasurface-based folded lens system that enables unprecedented manipulation of light, paving the way for the creation of slimline cameras for use in smartphones and augmented/virtual…
Malors Espinosa, a graduate student in mathematics at the University of Toronto, has devised a special type of math problem that challenges high school students to prove a nontrivial solution. The problem involves the Menger sponge, a fractal with a simple yet elegant construction. This problem is expected to inspire a new generation of mathematicians…
Major technology companies, including Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, are investing in next-generation geothermal energy, a low-carbon source that could complement solar and wind power. Start-ups like Fervo Energy and Sage Geosystems are racing to tap into the Earth’s heat, using enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) that create their own reservoirs of heated water. While costs are…
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. Several companies are advancing candidates relying on miRNAs in 2024, with potential applications in disease diagnosis and treatment. Companies such as aceRNA Technologies, ARTHEx Biotech, and Transcode Therapeutics are developing innovative miRNA-based therapeutics for various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular…

Instagram has introduced a new feature that allows users to share their locations with friends via direct messages (DMs). This move is seen as a challenge to services like Apple’s Find My and Snapchat’s Snap Map. The feature, which can be used to coordinate arrival times or find friends in crowded spaces, has a time…
Researchers at Tsinghua University and other institutions have developed a new framework for approximate quantum error correction (AQEC) codes, which could revolutionize the field of quantum computing. The framework, which establishes a crucial parameter called subsystem variance, links the effectiveness of AQEC codes to quantum circuit complexity. This breakthrough has implications not only for quantum…
Solana and Shiba Inu have been experiencing massive gains, but savvy investors are turning their attention to undervalued cryptocurrencies like Lunex Network. The native utility token, $LNEX, is making waves with its viral presale, and experts predict it could outperform both Solana and Shiba Inu in 2025.
