#US -Israeli actions ‘have no basis under international law,’ says Scottish leader Swinney
More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While studying the paths of light rays and moving objects, Hamilton noticed a striking mathematical similarity between them and used it to develop a powerful new framework for mechanics. At the time, it seemed like a clever analogy—but decades later, as scientists uncovered the strange wave-particle nature of light and matter, Hamilton’s insight took on new meaning.

Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create. Researchers have now shown they can trigger this exotic state by subtly adjusting the mix of tellurium and selenium in ultra-thin films. That tiny chemical tweak changes how electrons interact, effectively turning a quantum phase “dial” until the ideal state appears. The result is a more practical path toward building stable, next-generation quantum devices.
The Unix command \texttt{find} is among the first commands taught to beginners, yet remains indispensable for experienced engineers. In this paper, we demonstrate that \texttt{find} possesses unexpected computational power, establishing three Turing completeness results using the GNU implementation (a standard in Linux distributions). (1) \texttt{find} + \texttt{mkdir} (a system that has only \texttt{find} and \texttt{mkdir}) is Turing complete: by encoding computational states as directory paths and using regex back-references to copy substrings, we simulate 2-tag systems. (2) GNU \texttt{find} 4.9.0+ alone is Turing complete: by reading and writing to files during traversal, we simulate a two-counter machine without \texttt{mkdir}. (3) \texttt{find} + \texttt{mkdir} without regex back-references is still Turing complete: by a trick of encoding regex patterns directly into directory names, we achieve the same power. These results place \texttt{find} among the ``surprisingly Turing-complete'' systems, highlighting the hidden complexity within seemingly simple standard utilities.
Qubits, the heart of quantum computers, can change performance in fractions of a second — but until now, scientists couldn’t see it happening. Researchers at NBI have built a real-time monitoring system that tracks these rapid fluctuations about 100 times faster than previous methods. Using fast FPGA-based control hardware, they can instantly identify when a qubit shifts from “good” to “bad.” The discovery opens a new path toward stabilizing and scaling future quantum processors.
