Actor Anne Heche was “stable” in hospital amid a wave of support from fans and fellow stars after an accident in which she drove her car into a Los Angeles house, causing severe burn injuries to herself as well as damaging the house, which has become “uninhabitable”.As of Saturday, the Los Angeles police department (LAPD) said it was investigating the incident but had not determined its cause. The Los Angeles fire department (LAFD) said in a statement it took 59 firefighters to extinguish the fire.In a statement, Heather…

Most vaccines need to be refrigerated, which makes it difficult and expensive to get them to remote areas where they’re often needed most. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new method for encapsulating vaccines in hydrogels so they can be transported and stored at much higher temperatures.In order to produce an immune response, vaccines contain proteins or live viruses, which are vulnerable to heat. As such, they need to be refrigerated at under 8 °C (46.4 °F) for the entire journey from manufacturing plant…

Anne Heche’s team is offering a health update after she was hospitalized Friday following an accident in which her car smashed into a house and flames erupted. “Anne is currently in stable condition,” the representative told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement about the 53-year-old actress, who remains in the hospital. “Her family and friends ask for your thoughts and prayers and to respect her privacy during this difficult time.” Her speeding car came to a T-shaped intersection and ran off the…

After a few weeks of beta tests, OnePlus is ready to roll out the stable OxygenOS 12 update for the Nord CE 2 5G. The phone originally launched this February with OxygenOS 11.3/Android 11 and will receive one more major OS update after this one (also, the company has committed to 3 years of security patches). Besides all the new features from Android 12, this update (version C.05) also includes new features from OnePlus as well as the July security patch. Below is the full changelog for the new version: System …

Naira recorded no movement against the U.S. dollar at the official market on Friday, a day after top officials of two government agencies met to resolve the foreign exchange crisis in the country. The chairperson of the EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa, and the Comptroller General of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Idris Jere, met on Thursday over the forex scarcity rocking the country within the past weeks and months. Messrs Bawa and Jere held a “strategy” meeting on the issue behind closed doors at the headquarters…

Android 13 stable version could likely be available for Pixel users in September. Google's latest August 2022 Android 13 security update included some clues to this. In the release notes for the patch, the tech giant has mentioned that Android 13 will have a default security patch level of 2022-09-01. This suggests that we can see the stable version of the latest Android OS in September. According to Google, the August 2022 Android 13 Security update also fixes security vulnerabilities. In July, Google had released the…

The composition of our gut microbiome is known to influence many elements of the human body, and new lines of research are uncovering some fascinating insights around how this extends to athletic performance. The latest findings in this space suggest that more stable communities of gut bacteria can boost performance among endurance runners, and suggest that diet may play a pivotal role.Previous research has demonstrated that exercise can directly influence the makeup of our gut bacteria, and more recently, studies have…

A new phase of matter has been observed in a quantum computer after physicists pulsed light on its qubits in a pattern inspired by the Fibonacci sequence.If you think that's mind-boggling, this weird quirk of quantum mechanics behaves as though it has two time dimensions, instead of one; a trait that scientists say makes the qubits more robust, able to remain stable for the entire duration of the experiment.   This stability is called quantum coherence, and it's one of the main goals for an error-free quantum computer – …

Physicists have managed to make a stunning discovery in quantum computing. By shining pulsed lights on qubits, the equivalent of computer bits in quantum theory, scientists observed a new phase of matter that seemed to occupy two different time dimensions instead of one. This new phase of matter allows qubits to remain much more stable. The scientists observed that the qubits did not degrade during the entire duration of the experiment. Qubit stability is a significant milestone in the path towards making an error-free…
