Researchers make atoms talk to each other inside silicon chips: Study

Engineers discovered how to make atomic nuclei "talk" inside silicon chips, opening the door to scalable quantum computers. Researchers at the University of South Wales (UNSW) have found a way to make atomic nuclei communicate through electrons, allowing them to achieve entanglement at scales used in today`s computer chips. This breakthrough brings scalable, silicon-based quantum computing much closer to reality. UNSW engineers have made a significant advance in quantum computing: they created `quantum entangled states` - where two separate particles become so deeply linked they no longer behave independently - using the spins of two atomic nuclei. Such states of entanglement are the key resource that gives quantum computers their edge over conventional ones. The research was published...

Indian health experts say nearly 85 per cent of oral problems are preventable

With proper awareness and technology, nearly 85 per cent of oral problems are preventable, said health experts on Saturday, September 20.  Speaking at the three-day 35th Annual Conference of the Indian Society for Dental Research (ISDR) held here, over 30 national and international keynote speakers emphasised the need for research-driven collaboration across oral and craniofacial sciences. "Oral diseases may not always be life-threatening, but they silently erode the quality of life. Nearly 85 per cent of oral problems are preventable if addressed through awareness, preventive research, and the use of affordable technologies," Prof. (Dr.) Mahesh Verma, Vice Chancellor, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), said. "Our challenge is big. Millions across rural and urban India ...

Link between vascular disease, dementia risk overlooked: Study

Vascular dementia -- cognitive impairment caused by disease in the brain`s small blood vessels -- is a widespread problem, but it has not been as thoroughly studied as Alzheimer`s disease, in which abnormal plaques and protein tangles are deposited in neural tissue, according to researchers.  The team at the University of New Mexico developed a new model for characterising and categorising different forms of vascular dementia to better understand the various forms of the disease and find effective treatments. Conditions like hypertension, atherosclerosis, and diabetes have been linked to vascular dementia, but other contributing causes, including the recent discovery of significant quantities of nano -- and microplastics in human brains, remain poorly understood, said Elaine Bearer, Prof...

Lisa Mishra reveals how Call Me Bae and The Royals changer her life

She is a successful musician, and transitioning into acting, while not an easy journey, is something Lisa Mishra has strived for. After her stint in Call Me Bae (2024), where she made her debut as both actor and composer while crooning two numbers, she was seen in Netflix’s The Royals. She is grateful for the love and acceptance she has received from Indian audiences as she balances her career in music and acting. Now, Mishra is all set to kickstart the second season of the Ananya Panday-starrer Call Me Bae, and The Royals 2, which has been officially announced. “These shows have changed the way people see me. For the longest time, I was only thought of as a musician. Now, casting directors are calling me in because they’ve seen what I can bring to a character. What’s been most rewarding ...
