Republican initiatives threaten to dismantle federal support for electric vehicles (EVs), risking the industry’s growth and environmental goals. Proposals to end federal tax credits and cut funding for charging stations could set back years of progress in reducing carbon emissions. Experts warn

General Motors is redefining affordable electric vehicles with the Equinox EV, challenging the industry dominance of Tesla. The Equinox EV is an affordable compact SUV, starting under $30,000 with federal incentives, without compromising on features or quality. It offers essential features like

AstraZeneca acquires EsoBiotec to revolutionize cancer therapy with groundbreaking ENaBL technology. The acquisition, valued at up to $1 billion, promises rapid deployment of cell therapies, turning complex treatments into quick IV injections. ENaBL technology enables T cells to efficiently target and destroy

Microsoft’s advances in fault-tolerant quantum computing center on the topological qubit, promising more efficient solutions to complex problems. The release of technical papers on Nature and arXiv has sparked interest across the scientific community, emphasizing theoretical and engineering milestones. Dr. Chetan Nayak’s

Quantum computing remains an abstract and complex field, struggling to captivate public interest unlike more visual technologies such as AI and robotics. NVIDIA’s Quantum Day aimed to showcase quantum’s potential but revealed a cultural rift due to the absence of engaging, visual

The digital age enables families to stay connected during difficult times, exemplified by 22-year-old Dalilah Agbisit’s battle with cancer while serving in the U.S. Army. After being diagnosed with stage 2 acinic cell carcinoma, Dalilah faced radiation’s challenging side effects, including hair

Quantum computing relies on extremely cold environments; ULVAC leads efforts to develop advanced dilution refrigerators for this purpose. ULVAC’s project aims to establish Japan as a key player in quantum technology, with local production securing a steady supply and reducing foreign dependency.

Padcev (enfortumab vedotin) and Keytruda (pembrolizumab) offer new hope as a combination therapy for metastatic urothelial carcinoma, a severe bladder cancer. The combination therapy has shown an 86% disease control rate and a 68% objective response rate, with 79% of patients maintaining

D-Wave has developed the first blockchain system using quantum computers, introducing “proof of quantum work” (PoQ) to reduce energy consumption dramatically. PoQ leverages quantum mechanics to solve complex puzzles with significantly less energy than traditional proof of work systems. Quantum blockchain operations

Major tech companies like Amazon, IBM, Google, Intel, Microsoft, and Nvidia are leading the charge in developing quantum technology, joined by smaller players like Rigetti, IonQ, and D-Wave Quantum Inc. An estimated $50 billion has been pledged globally to advance quantum research,
