Quantum computing, a cutting-edge technology field, uses the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in ways that are impossible with classical computers. Quantum computing uses quantum bits (qubits) instead of the classical bits used by classical computers. While classical bits can be either 0 or 1, qubits can exist in a superposition of both states simultaneously. This property, along with quantum entanglement, allows quantum computers to perform certain calculations exponentially faster than classical computers. Now tech giants and intrepid startups alike are pouring billions of dollars into the quantum race, chasing potential breakthroughs in drug discovery, financial modeling and…

Three Danish energy technology companies have started construction of the world's first green ammonia plant in the Danish town of Ramme.The plant is said to be capable of producing 5,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year using only solar and wind energy, and Topsoe reports that the initiative will prevent 8,200 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year.This production volume takes into account natural fluctuations in the electricity generated by the plant's solar panels and wind turbines, with the aim to optimize the electrolysis and ammonia synthesis loops based on these fluctuations, making the entire process more cost-efficient.This puts Topsoe,…

During my lifetime, it has always felt like governments have served the elderly at the expense of the young. The most notable example during the Conservative government was the massive increase in university tuition fees to £9,000. Meanwhile, older voters had the security of the triple lock on pensions and no shortage of policies that worked in their favour. To make matters worse, Rishi Sunak suggested during the last election campaign that national service should be compulsory for all 18-year-olds. We always seem to be either forgotten or punished.This Government needs to turn things around. They must start by restoring…

Pope Francis condemned efforts to stop and turn away migrants as a “grave sin” and highlighted the humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean and in the desert, where many migrants are losing their lives.

Read morePope Francis on Wednesday remembered those who lost their lives, including those who were “left behind” in the desert, and condemned efforts to turn away migrants and cut off their routes as a “grave sin.”The…

This article is included in the following additional categories:As climate change accelerates, the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events are of increasing concern to public health officials. Europe, with its ageing population and varying levels of climate adaptation, is particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of rising temperatures. Recent studies predict that under worst-case climate scenarios, heatstroke deaths in Europe could increase more than 30-fold by the end of the century. Without urgent action, this looming crisis could result in tens of thousands of additional deaths each year across the continent.Heat Wave: The Silent KillerThe study highlights the growing…

The purple martin is the largest extant North American swallow species.Getty In 1776, the seaside city of Charleston became South Carolina's capital, but the Palmetto State drew up plans for a centralized capital soon after American independence, with the city of Columbia officially coming into being in 1786.
