| Important milestone in the creation of a quantum computer Posted: 28 Dec 2020 07:18 AM PST One of the obstacles for progress in the quest for a working quantum computer has been that the working devices that go into a quantum computer and perform the actual calculations, the qubits, have hitherto been made by universities and in small numbers. But in recent years, a pan-European collaboration has been exploring everyday transistors -- that are present in billions in all our mobile phones -- for their use as qubits. |
| Music-induced emotions can be predicted from brain scans Posted: 28 Dec 2020 07:18 AM PST Researchers have discovered what type of neural mechanisms are the basis for emotional responses to music. Altogether 102 research subjects listened to music that evokes emotions while their brain function was scanned with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). |
| Primordial black holes and the search for dark matter from the multiverse Posted: 28 Dec 2020 06:54 AM PST Astronomers are studying black holes that could have formed in the early universe, before stars and galaxies were born. Such primordial black holes (PBHs) could account for all or part of dark matter, be responsible for some of the observed gravitational waves signals, and seed supermassive black holes found in the center of our Galaxy and other galaxies. |
