Poland is pioneering new road signs that combine an array of sensors to monitor road traffic and conditions to warn drivers of hazards on the road ahead. Researchers are building ‘intelligent’ motorway signs to track traffic volume and alert drivers in real time to potential dangers as part of a national project called INZNAK. The … Read more
Chinese scientists claim to have built a quantum computer which is 100trillion times faster than the world’s most advanced supercomputer – Japan’s Fugaku. The prototype of the groundbreaking machine is able to perform a calculation which would take a traditional computer billions of years to figure out. The breakthrough means the country has achieved quantum … Read more

Lava crystals that erupted from volcanoes more than half a century ago can reveal secrets about when they may next erupt, a new study claims. US scientists analysed crystals formed inside a type of porous rock that burst from the Kīlauea volcano in Hawaii in 1959. The crystals had an odd shape that, along with computer … Read more

Rapid coronavirus testing being carried out by the Government is ‘unsafe’ because the tests miss around half of infected people and let them go, scientists warn. The lateral flow swab tests, which produce results in around 20 minutes, were found to only be half as accurate as proper lab tests in the November pilot in … Read more
Researchers have identified an eerie new form of deep-sea creature using only high-definition video. In 2015, scientists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) piloted a remotely operated vehicle through an underwater canyon off the coast of Puerto Rico. At a depth of more than two miles the drone came across a ctenophore, or … Read more
