US Department of Energy Breakthrough: Detecting Dark Matter with Quantum Computers

In a new breakthrough, scientists from the US Department of Energy’s Fermilab have found a way to detect dark matter using quantum computers. Dark matter accounts for about 27% of the universe’s material and energy balance, but scientists don’t know much about it. They know it’s cold, which means the particles that make up dark …

New drug, promising breakthrough for incurable neurodegenerative myelin diseases – Neuroscience News

Summary: Riluzole, an FDA-approved drug to treat ALS, may, in part, correct the molecular cause of some leukodystrophies. Source: Montreal university There is new hope for the future treatment of certain leukodystrophies, neurodegenerative diseases in young children that progressively affect their quality of life, often leading to death before adulthood. The development stems from the …
