From electrons to photons. From photons to electrons…
The quantum computer of the future will be able to carry out computations far beyond the capacity of today's computers. Quantum superpositions and entanglement of quantum bits (qubits) make it possible to perform parallel computations. Making useful computations requires large numbers of qubits and it is this upscaling to large numbers that is providing a…

Against atheism, in one simple sentence – Episode 2: The Resurrection miracle is not so weird as it seems…
Resurrection: The most common of miracles… People tend to think that Resurrection is the cornerstone of Christianity. They also tend to think that this miracle is one of the biggest lies ever said by man. But is such a miracle so weird? See carefully and you will see that you were looking in the wrong…

Plants. Seeing.
Plants lack eyes and ears, but they can still see, hear, smell and respond to environmental cues and dangers. They do this with the aid of hundreds of membrane proteins that sense microbes or other stresses. Researchers now have created the first network map for 200 of these proteins. The map shows how a few…

Against atheism, in one simple sentence...
Atheists claim a lot many things. (too many for people who claim to 'believe nothing', but that is another story) But most important of all, is their claim that we - humans - are nothing more than matter obeying the laws of nature. This alone, is the greatest flaw in their arguments. For if we…

Killing humans. By analyzing rocks. [Brake that rock!]
University of California, Berkeley neuroscientists have tracked the progress of a thought through the brain, showing clearly how the prefrontal cortex at the front of the brain coordinates activity to help us act in response to a perception. Recording the electrical activity of neurons directly from the surface of the brain, the scientists found that…
