Google's quantum computer is so fast it's scary

By Sean Thiessen | Published 16 seconds ago A quantum computer What’s faster than a supercomputer? A quantum computer from Google, that’s what. As reported by Science Alert, pioneering scientists in the strange world of quantum computing have just performed a test of numerical computation with the Sycamore quantum computer. It accomplished in seconds what … Read more

Gravitational waves could help us find out how fast the expansion of the universe is accelerating

Gravitational waves emitted when distant black holes collide and merge, ringing the very fabric of space-time like bells, could be used to help measure how fast the universe is expanding, according to a new study. Since the late 1990s, astronomers have known that not only is the universe expanding, but it’s doing so at an … Read more
