In the late 1970s, two physicists in Switzerland set out to invent a new type of microscope using quantum physics that would allow them to do something no one had ever done before: see the individual atoms in a sheet of metal.
Meet Elena Fersman: Unleash the power of remote robotics
The nexus between humans and robots has entered a new era – with humans just as likely to learn from machines as the reverse, thanks to AI and machine learning. Discover why it’s paving the way towards zero-touch operations and a landscape in which the network will automatically adjust and react based on the needs of the robots.
Scientists are building a wormhole tunnel analogue in quantum circuits
Scientists have proposed to build a functional wormhole tunnel by simulating quantum entangled black holes in a lab. Quanta Magazine reports the linked black holes are theoretically able to teleport quantum information via the tunnel.
Black holes were thought to totally obliterate the objects they consume. However, the experiment will test a new idea in physics that evaporating black holes actually send information about subsumed objects back to the universe via Hawking radiation.
Citing California Institute of Technology physicist Sepehr Nezami, the outlet reports the research team believes a black hole could be forced to disgorge intact information after it is entangled with another black hole on a quantum level.
Stanford University’s Adam Brown is cited as saying quantum circuitry could make a functional analog for entangled black holes. If the theory is correct, this circuitry would be able to instantly transmit and decrypt qubits, also known as quantum teleportation.
Imagine Beyond: Human Machines: Can Artificial Intelligence be Ethical?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is developing quickly. It can deliver precise medical predictions and analytics, create realistic fake photos, exchange faces in films, direct traffic and communicate with us. The growing power also raises more questions: what if AI is unethical or even evil?

Craig Callender – What does Quantum Theory Mean?
Quantum theory may be weird—superposition and entanglement of particles that in our normal world would make no sense—but quantum theory is truly how the microworld works. What does all this weirdness mean? How to go from microworld weirdness to macroworld normalcy? Will we ever make sense out of quantum mechanics?
The Future is Now | Life after Artificial Intelligence
When 20 years ago, a computer beat a human at chess, it marked the dawn of Artificial Intelligence, as we know it.
These days, neural networks, deep learning and all types of sensors allow AI to be used in healthcare, to operate self-driving cars and to tweak our photos on Instagram.
In the future, the ability to learn, to emulate the creative process and to self-organize may give rise to previously unimagined opportunities and unprecedented threats.
