Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only provide an inner window on brain disorders, but may become sophisticated enough to mimic the human brain’s full complexity.

Scientists Confirm the Incredible Existence of ‘Second Sound’

Here’s visible proof for the first time ever.

In the world of average, everyday materials, heat tends to spread out from a localized source. Drop a burning coal into a pot of water, and that liquid will slowly rise in temperature before its heat eventually dissipates. But the world is full of rare, exotic materials that don’t exactly play by these thermal rules.

Scientists Used a Diamond to Create a New Phase of Matter

Scientists Used a Diamond to Create a New Phase of Matter

The researchers are confident that this process can be applied to other material beyond diamonds as well.

Since their theoretical discovery in 2012, time crystals have been front-and-center in conversations about how to improve quantum computers. While diamond, ice, and any other solid you can think of has a crystal lattice structure that repeats in space (another name for them could be “space crystals”), time crystals, as their name suggests, oscillate in perpetual cycles across time. These crystals, the thinking goes, could form stable forms of quantum memory and error-free quantum circuits, drastically improving a quantum computer’s performance.

Bitcoin notches new record high amid “Uptober” surge

Bitcoin surged over $125,500 for the first time on Saturday....

Uptober has arrived. Bitcoin reached an all-time high on Saturday, crossing $125,500 for the first time not even two months after hitting its previous record. The asset is up over 100% in the past year. Kyle Chassé, founder of MV Global, told Sherwood News that this all‑time high is being driven from the top down.

Google’s Pixel 10 phones will reportedly launch on August 13th

The Verge

Google’s Pixel 10 phones will reportedly launch on August 13th

Google’s new Pixels should arrive this summer.

Google will reportedly launch the Pixel 10 series at a Made by Google event on August 13th, with the handsets arriving in stores a week later on the 20th. Leaker @MysteryLupin was the first to tip the launch date, which Android Headlines echoed just minutes later, adding in the extra detail of when the phones will actually reach buyers. This year Google is expected to launch four Pixel 10 phones, with a regular model, Pro, Pro XL, and Pro Fold. It’s likely Google will announce the Pixel Watch 4 at the same event.
