Quantum Leap Science

Quantum Leap: “Heavy” Electrons Unlock New Path to Ultra-Fast Quantum Computing Scientists in Japan harness Planckian time and entangled fermions to revolutionize solid-state quantum tech.

Osaka, Japan — August 31, 2025 In a major scientific breakthrough, researchers in Japan have identified quantum entanglement in heavy fermions—electrons with unusually large effective mass—within a solid-state compound, potentially transforming the future of quantum computing. The study, led by Dr. Shin-ichi Kimura of Osaka University, focused on Cerium-Rhodium-Tin (CeRhSn), a material with a quasi-Kagome […]

New Research Reveals: X-Rays May Fuel Unnecessary Knee Surgeries Science

New Research Reveals: X-Rays May Fuel Unnecessary Knee Surgeries.

New research from the University of Melbourne reveals that X-rays may do more harm than good when diagnosing knee osteoarthritis. These scans often heighten patient anxiety and increase the likelihood of opting for unnecessary surgery. Instead, clinical diagnosis—based on symptoms and medical history—is a safer and more effective approach to managing pain and mobility. Osteoarthritis […]

Breakthrough AI Pinpoints Disease-Causing Genetic Mutations Using Everyday Data. Science

Breakthrough AI Pinpoints Disease-Causing Genetic Mutations Using Everyday Data.

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed an advanced AI system that predicts the likelihood of rare genetic mutations leading to disease. Traditionally, genetic testing often leaves patients and doctors uncertain about the real-world impact of these mutations. To address this, the Mount Sinai team combined machine learning with millions […]

NASA Discovers Hidden Energy Source on Ceres — Could Alien Life Have Once Thrived in Its Ancient Ocean Science

NASA Discovers Hidden Energy Source on Ceres — Could Alien Life Have Once Thrived in Its Ancient Ocean

NASA scientists suggest that Ceres — the largest object in the asteroid belt — may have once harbored the right conditions for life. New models indicate the dwarf planet likely had a radioactive core billions of years ago, producing enough heat to maintain a hidden subsurface ocean. This ancient “power source” could have fueled the […]

Your Heart Is at Risk—Here Are 4 Expert-Backed Ways to Protect It before It’s Too Late Science

Your Heart Is at Risk—Here Are 4 Expert-Backed Ways to Protect It before It’s Too Late

The heart pumps over 7,500 liters of blood daily, yet remains vulnerable to cardiovascular disease—the leading global cause of death. In South Africa, it accounts for around 215 deaths daily. Inactivity, poor diet, and stress are major contributors. Biokinetics, which treats and prevents disease through movement science, offers a solution. “For bio kineticists, exercise is […]

How Contagious Is Too Contagious? Science Reveals the Most Infectious Diseases on Earth

When COVID struck, many turned to the film Contagion for insight. In one scene, Kate Winslet’s character explains how pathogens spread via everyday objects like “door knobs, water fountains, elevator buttons and each other.” Diseases are measured by R0, indicating how many people one infected person can pass the illness to. Measles tops the list […]

NASA Tackles Space-Induced Vision Loss: New Tech Could Protect Astronauts’ Eyes and Brains on Mars Missions

NASA is investigating how microgravity affects astronaut health, particularly vision and brain pressure, aboard the International Space Station. The study focuses on fluid shifts toward the head that cause “puffy face” syndrome and may impair eyesight. JAXA flight engineer Kimiya Yui is leading an experiment using a thigh cuff on NASA astronaut Mike Fincke to […]
