Astronomers using ALMA have imaged the episodic outflow of a young protostar known as CARMA-7. The twin jets -- each nearly 1.5 trillion kilometers long -- have distinct gaps, revealing that the star is growing by fits and starts.

The new method is a clever combination of an established industrial production technique (thermoforming) and a new software, which allows even ambitious amateurs...
To build a universal quantum computer from fragile quantum components, effective implementation of quantum error correction (QEC) is an essential requirement and a central challenge. QEC is used in quantum computing, which has the potential to solve scientific problems...
