China’s quantum satellite achieves two new milestones

Astrophysics, Quantum Satellite, Satellite Technology, Science / By / July 18, 2017

China’s quantum satellite has achieved two new milestones in long-distance quantum communications through space,  blowing away the competition. Chinese researchers have already demonstrated, during June 2017, that their satellite ‘Micius’ could send entangled quantum particles to far-flung locations on Earth. Entangled particles have their properties remaining intertwined despite being separated by more than 1,200 kilometers. …

Life will be a constant struggle on Mars

Mars, Science / By / July 8, 2017

Ace physicist Stephen Hawking gives humanity 1,000 years on Earth before it is wiped out—and 100 years to get out and colonize other planets. Such talk, and, of course, the quintessential human yearning for exploration and discovery, has fueled the search for alternative homes. Every now and then, reports of Earth-like conditions in our solar …
