Gate

| Ahead of Monday's FOC, Shannon Maer's Siren's Gate #1 has jumped from being a 32 page comic book to being a 40 page comic at no extra cost – just a bigger comic book story to tell. Nick Barrucci of Dynamite Entertainment states that "there are so many massively talented creators in comics today, and many doing stunning covers that fans love to collect on top of the great stories within. Many of them rarely, if ever, get around to drawing stories even as shorts, let alone full series. That's exactly what readers will be…

After being introduced to Russia's White Sea in the 1950s, non-native Pacific salmon have since spread along Norway's coastline and into its rivers. In an effort to control their numbers, an AI-enabled fish-identifying gate has recently been installed on a Norwegian river.Besides introducing new diseases to native Atlantic salmon, the invasive Pacific salmon also have a faster reproductive cycle. This means that as their numbers have more quickly increased, they've start outcompeting Atlantic salmon for food and spawning…

When fully realized, quantum computers will power humanity through problems that seem impossible to solve today. But even impossible problems have a way of proving possible, given enough time: much like humans being able to fly seemed impossible before the Wright brothers rewrote the future.One of the leading limitations in today's qubits is that they can very rapidly decohere - going from a state where they provide practical work towards one where the calculations don't provide accurate results. So it's another type of…

Two atoms inflated to an almost comical size and cooled to a fraction above absolute zero have been used to generate a robust, insanely fast two-qubit quantum gate that could help overcome some of quantum computing's persistent challenges.  Since a two-qubit gate is the fundamental building block of efficient quantum computers, this breakthrough has huge implications. It could lead to a new type of quantum computer architecture that breaks through current limitations for noise-free quantum operations.Qubit is a…
