Harvard researchers found a way to correct for signal loss with a prototype quantum node that can catch, store and entangle bits of quantum information. The research is the missing link towards a practical quantum internet and a major step forward in the development of long-distance quantum networks

I've been trying to keep up with this research for years, but in the last 10-12 months it's moving at incredible speeds. (No pun intended)

For those not familiar with network protocols and network models, here's the standard OSI network model https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model What this Harvard research does is pave the way for OSI Level 1 - the physical network transport model. (The quantum equivalent of physical ethernet wires.The wires do it through passing electrical current, an equivalent quantum entanglement layer 1 would do it thru mechanisms that measure quantum entanglement. )

There are already theoretical papers out there now to allow the quantum network model to crawl up the OSI stack very quickly.

Basically, this paves the way for near instantaneous IP communication. And, uh, theoretically anywhere. So, yeah Kirk, no subspace communication required.

As a four-day work week is trialed in countries across the globe, health researchers say they’re ‘all in’ when it comes to a long weekend, research shows that the extra time off is good for our health. Findings from a study of more than 46,000 people from 68 different countries reveal those who share more left-wing political views are more generous and altruistic than those who follow right-wing ideologies. Obesity might adversely affect social and emotional development of children, study finds Decline in daily step count persists after pandemic for U.S. adults. Based on new findings, people had not yet bounced back as of December 2021: U.S. adults were still taking around 700 fewer steps per day, compared to their pre-pandemic norm. Review of 1,039 studies indicates exercise can be more effective than counselling or medication for depression Researchers are calling for exercise to be a mainstay approach for managing depression as a new study shows that physical activity is 1.5 times more effective than counselling or the leading medications One theory of attractiveness suggests beautiful people are seen positively and these views become internalized, motivating altruistic behavior. New research, however, finds support for the view that beautiful people behave selfishly and feel entitled due to their bargaining power in relationships. Extremely rich people are not extremely smart. Study in Sweden finds income is related to intelligence up to about the 90th percentile in income. Above that level, differences in income are not related to cognitive ability. ACPeds Calls on Organizations to Scrap Current Transgender Protocols Based on Newly Published Critique Most Americans aren’t getting enough exercise. People living in rural areas were even less likely to get enough exercise: Only 16% of people outside cities met benchmarks for aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities, compared with 28% in large metropolitan cities areas. Magnetic solution removes toxic "forever chemicals" from water in seconds Neighborhoods with predominantly White residents have more greenery, fewer dilapidated buildings and fewer multi-family homes — compared to neighborhoods with residents of multiple races and ethnicities, predominantly Black residents Routine vaccinations drop among U.S. kindergartners for the third year in a row according to the CDC. While vaccinations remain high, coverage has dropped from 95% in the 2019-2020 school year to 94% in 2020-2021 to 93% in 2021-2022, leaving at least 250,000 potentially unprotected against measles.
