Quantum physics just got real: creating entanglement on demand
Quantum physics often challenges what we know about the world, and one of its most mind-boggling ideas is entanglement. It has puzzled scientists but could lead to game-changing technologies such as quantum computers and secure communication. Researchers recently made a big leap by figuring out how to create entangled particles on demand, making quantum systems more reliable. This breakthrough could bring us closer to everyday uses of quantum technology, transforming how we compute and communicate.
Viruses – dead or alive?
As SARS-CoV-2 ravages the world, researchers are still debating whether this coronavirus, comprising DNA and RNA, a little enzyme and a protein coating, is alive. Viruses have no metabolism and cannot reproduce without a host. However, research has shown that viruses have a common evolutionary origin with our cells. The discussion does not change the never-ending battle humans have with deadly viruses, and since viruses have no metabolism, treatment and combating transmission are difficult.
