Quantum Computing is Now Real: Super Smart Machines Just Ahead
July 8, 2015Quantum computing's elusive promise has always been computing power that approaches the infinite, and machines that are not just as intelligent as human beings, but far smarter. But building a computer that takes advantage of quantum indeterminacy has been difficult--until... continued
New Insight Article: A Crop Formation with an Ominous Warning
July 5, 2015On June 28 in a field near Torino, Italy, a magnificent crop formation appeared. Like the Crabwood formation of 2002, this formation contains at least one message, and the one that we have thus far been able to translate should... continued
Collapsing Glaciers Causing Massive Earthquakes in Greenland

Brain Implants No Bigger than Dust Particles On the Way
June 25, 2015A new concept of a brain-computer interface has been proposed by engineering researchers at University of California Berkeley, utilizing what they term as 'neural-dust', tiny machines that would be implanted in the brain to help facilitate the collection of neurological... continued
Study Claims 6th Mass Extinction Under Way–But There’s More to It than That
June 24, 2015Researchers have declared that the Earth is entering a mass extinction event, and that it is being caused by humans, but this is part of a much larger story. A team at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment have... continued
