  • "Rare Star Found Rotating 300 Times Faster Than Earth”
    Aug 31 2023
    Named J191213.72-441045.1 (or J1912-4410 for short), it belongs to one of the rarest categories in the Milky Way.

    It is a white dwarf pulsar. This extraordinary star emits radiation every 5 minutes and is the second white dwarf found "pulsing" at a periodic rate, confirming it to be a new class of star.

    The first star of this unusually peculiar type was AR Scorpii (AR Sco), discovered in 2016. "One of the most remarkable identified binary systems of white dwarfs to date is AR Scorpii.

    AR Scorpii consists of a red dwarf and a white dwarf, rotating rapidly in a 3.

  • "Oldest Known Neanderthal Cave Paintings Found
    Aug 29 2023
    Discovered in January 1912, in Indre-et-Loire, in the municipality of Langeais, France, La Roche-Cotard cave is located on the south-facing slope on the right bank of the Loire River.

    Now, a team of experts led by Jean-Claude Marquet from the University of Tours, France, has uncovered the oldest recorded Neanderthal markings on the cave's wall.

    These are non-figurative, symbolic objects, and the marks are believed to be finger grooves, lines left by human fingers on a soft surface that hardens over time.

    According to the official statement, whose study has been published in the journal PloS One, a plethora of archaeological evidence gathered in many regions of the world has revealed information about the "cultural complexity" of these ancient extinct human species.

    However, not much is known about the symbolic or artistic inscriptions they left on cave walls.

  • Google's new quantum computer achieves quantum supremacy.
    Aug 24 2023
    Technological visionaries predict that in the next two decades, quantum computers will replace the traditional computers that have been accompanying us in our homes and workplaces since the 20th century (we are not talking about the first mechanical computer of 1822, of course, but rather the ones considered personal computers for home use).

    Now, in a surprising announcement, Google claims to have achieved 'quantum supremacy' by developing a new quantum computer capable of instantly solving tasks that would take current supercomputers about 47 years to complete.

    Quantum computing is an innovative technology with the potential to revolutionize how we process information.

    The concept of quantum computing dates back to the early 1980s, when physicists like Richard Feynman and David Deutsch began exploring the possibilities of harnessing the principles of quantum mechanics to perform complex calculations.
