Many of us probably don't get a lot of time to put pen to paper these days, but a new study suggests we should be paying more attention to how we write – because changes in a couple of key areas could be early red flags of cognitive decline.

Amazon has unveiled its first quantum computing chip today, after four years in the making. Dubbed Ocelot, it uses 'cat qubits' for improved error correction, and could lead to cheaper practical quantum computing in the years to come.

A new method to process agricultural waste and other biomass into biofuels could enable the creation of mobile processing plants that would rove the Midwest to produce fuels where the biomass is sourced.

Researchers have unveiled a method for the industrial-scale processing of pure carbon nanotube fibers that builds upon the tried-and-true processed that chemical firms have used for decades to produce plastics.

A group of European researchers has managed to send plasmonics signals over longer distances in a breakthrough that makes this technology much closer to reality.
