Researchers in Japan and Australia have managed to haul teleportation a little closer to reality.  We’re now that little closer the a future where quantum computers will be on your desktop, which is, to say the least, not very close at all but still. What they have done is successfully teleport a complex set of quantum information that existed in a state of quantum superposition, meaning that it existed in two different states...

There are plenty of elements of spaceflight astronauts can prepare for, but the disorienting return back into our atmosphere has long been hard to replicate. This patch, which sends an electrical current to nerves behind the ears, gets it right. The galvanic vestibular stimulation system—if it sounds scary, that’s because it kinda is—was developed by researchers at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City to give...

Scientists believe that fly eyes are perfectly shaped for manufacturing efficient solar cells. Specifically, copying the eye of the Blowfly would allow solar cells to “collect sunlight from a larger area than just light that falls directly on a flat surface.” Blowflies are desirable because their eyes are hemispherical. More importantly, within each half sphere, the surface is covered by “macroscale hexagonal eyes with...
