New Quantum Object Can be Seen with Naked Eye
Published: 3/19/10
Scientists have created the largest "quantum state" object so far. The object is a quantum computer that breaks the conventional law of larger physics that one thing cannot occupy two different spaces at the same time. The machine is being hailed as the first principle component for what could become the first feasible quantum computer. While not a feasible computer in itself, the "quantum resonator," could replace ones and zeros with far faster computing capabilities that could result in a new generation of incredibly small, energy efficient computers with far more processing power than anything we currently have.

Invisibility Cloaks May be Fashion of the Future
Published: 3/18/10
"Deployable" invisibility screens have been around for some time, able to make an object invisible from one direction, but these objects have extremely limited applications, considering they only work in theory in extremely controlled environments. It seemed for a while the world of ground stealth technology would have to remain in the realm of science fiction and fantasy, but now scientists have developed a system which can conceal an object from any direction in 3D. The world may soon have a true invisibility cloak.

Picture Your Thoughts on a Computer Screen
Published: 11/30/09
Scientists at the UCB psych center claim they have developed the means to transfer thoughts directly from the brain onto a computer screen. If this is true, soon we may be able to transpose images from our own memories (and even dreams) into videos. Thought testimony will soon be seen in courtrooms, as witnesses “recall” in full detail the incidents in question. But perhaps most importantly (and frighteningly) the rift between our minds and the eyes of others will be breached.

"Thinking" Supercomputer Now Conscious as a Cat
Published: 11/19/09
Incredibly, a super computer has been created by IBM that has the thinking capability of a cat at the click of a mouse. Of course the supercomputer, dubbed C2 by the research team putting it together, has raised some serious ethical questions, for example: When is it no longer ethical to turn it off? Though the computer thinks as much as a cat does, it is still in the early stages of development. C2 is quickly developing, however, and has already surpassed the 4 percent mark of human capability. Soon, it is estimated, a computer will exist that thinks as well as a human’s cerebral cortex. The only problem? They still don’t know how it works.
