This week, Alef Aeronautics revealed its flying car “Model A” was granted legal permission from the Federal Aviation Administration to test run the vehicle on the road and in the sky − a move needed before it can be released to…

The device emits a stream of single photos at room temperature and could provide a basis for optical quantum computers. Using novel materials that have been widely studied as potential new solar photovoltaics, researchers at MIT have shown that nanoparticles of these materials can emit a stream of single, identical photons.

Intel wants to get out in front of the quantum computing wave. Global chipmaker Intel has lifted the wraps off its Tunnel Falls 12-qubit silicon-based chip, which it says “marks the next step toward building a full-stack commercial quantum computing system.” For more, check out this Tech Radar/MSN story.

I guess the orange skies we had last week because of the Canadian wildfires may become the norm 🙁 As climate change drives an increase in wildfires, we’re seeing more smoke lofted into the upper atmosphere each fire season. Depending on wind and weather, this smoke can spread hundreds or thousands of miles from its…

Astronomers have detected the most distant known organic molecules in the universe using the James Webb Space Telescope. The base of the organic molecules is carbon, considered to be one of the building blocks of life because it’s a key element in amino acids, which form proteins. For more, check out this CNN/MSN story.
