Scientists have launched the world’s first wooden satellite into space as part of a study on reducing space junk. The device, called LignoSat, is made from timber and will burn up in the atmosphere when it re-enters space, potentially preventing metal particles from damaging the environment and telecommunications. The 10cm box-like satellite was launched successfully … Read more
NASA has successfully launched a wooden satellite, LignoSat, aboard a SpaceX Dragon cargo capsule to the International Space Station (ISS). The tiny spacecraft, measuring 4 inches on each side, is made primarily of magnolia wood and aims to reduce pollution from conventional satellites. Unlike traditional satellites, which burn up in Earth’s atmosphere at the end … Read more

Rigetti and Riverlane have demonstrated real-time, low-latency quantum error correction using a 84-qubit Ankaa-Qual quantum processing unit (QPU). The collaboration achieved error correction with processing times under one microsecond, crucial for avoiding data backlog in quantum computing. Leveraging Rigetti’s superconducting qubits, the experiment successfully utilized fast feedback to maintain coherent qubit states. Real-time error correction … Read more
Riverlane’s CEO Steve Brierley emphasized the importance of quantum error correction in unlocking the full potential of quantum computing at the 2024 Quantum World Congress. The company developed its first quantum error correction (QC) chip, DD1, which achieves a “logical error rate of one in a trillion” by efficiently processing error data. Riverlane aims to … Read more
A series of malicious cyber attacks has been linked to Chinese state-sponsored groups, including APT31, APT41, and Volt Typhoon. The attacks, known as Pacific Rim, aimed to exfiltrate sensitive data from firewalls worldwide and compromise devices in critical infrastructure, government facilities, and research organizations. The attacks began in late 2018, when Sophos detected a cyber-attack … Read more
