China’s quantum computer completed a task in 4 minutes that would literally take a supercomputer billions of years.

Chinese researchers have achieved a monumental breakthrough in quantum computing with their prototype, Jiuzhang. By counting 76 photons through Gaussian boson sampling, the system completed a calculation in four minutes that would take a traditional supercomputer billions of years. This achievement shatters the previous classical record of five photons, demonstrating how an intricate array of lasers and mirrors can outperform traditional silicon bits in complex processing tasks.

This milestone is more than just a speed record; it proves the viability of photon-based quantum mechanics in solving real-world challenges. From revolutionizing quantum chemistry to laying the groundwork for a secure, large-scale quantum internet, the principles of superposition and entanglement are moving from theoretical physics into functional technology. This shift promises to redefine our global computational limits, offering answers to mathematical problems once considered impossible to solve within a human lifetime.

What does a supernova look like?

This visualization simulates the first 150 milliseconds of a supernova. As the star collapses in on itself, hot gas emits from its core in uneven shock waves. Researchers use computer simulations like this to more accurately understand the events of a dying star.

a shortcut to remembering metabolism in just 9️⃣ arrows:

1️⃣ Glu → Fru → Pyr
(Glucose → Fructose → Pyruvate)
This is glycolysis — the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate for quick energy.
💡 Example: Eat bread, glucose enters your cells, and is converted to pyruvate to start producing ATP.

2️⃣ Pyr → ACoA → TCA
(Pyruvate → Acetyl-CoA → TCA Cycle)
When oxygen’s available, pyruvate becomes Acetyl-CoA and runs through the TCA (Krebs) cycle for sustained energy.
💡 Example: A post-lunch walk taps into this aerobic pathway.

3️⃣ TCA → NADH → ETC → ATP
(TCA products → NADH → Electron Transport Chain → ATP)
The TCA cycle generates NADH, which powers the electron transport chain to make ATP — your cellular energy currency.
💡 Example: Your brain uses that ATP to keep you sharp while studying.

4️⃣ G6P ↔ PPP → NADPH + Ribose
(Glucose-6-Phosphate → Pentose Phosphate Pathway → NADPH + Ribose)
This detour from glucose creates NADPH (for antioxidant defense) and ribose (for DNA/RNA synthesis).
💡 Example: Immune cells use NADPH to neutralize pathogens.

5️⃣ Pyr → Lac
(Pyruvate → Lactate)
In low-oxygen conditions, pyruvate shifts to lactate.

6️⃣ Pyr → OAA → Gluconeogenesis
(Pyruvate → Oxaloacetate → Glucose)
During fasting, pyruvate is turned into oxaloacetate, then glucose, to maintain blood sugar.
💡 Example: After 10+ hours without food, your liver makes glucose for your brain.

7️⃣ ACoA → FAs → TAGs
(Acetyl-CoA → Fatty Acids → Triglycerides)
Excess energy is stored as fat.
💡 Example: Too many sweets? Your body parks the surplus as belly fat.

8️⃣ FAs → β-ox → ACoA → TCA
(Fatty Acids → Beta-Oxidation → Acetyl-CoA → TCA)
When carbs run low, fat becomes your fuel.
💡 Example: After 14 hours of intermittent fasting, fat breakdown kicks in.

9️⃣ AAs → Pyr / ACoA / TCA
(Amino Acids → Pyruvate or Acetyl-CoA or TCA)
Amino acids can feed into different energy pathways, depending on type.
💡 Example: In prolonged starvation, muscle protein is converted into energy intermediates.

Starting 10 December 2025, you must be at least 16 years old to use an X account in Australia. It’s not our choice - it's what the Australian law requires following amendments to the Online Safety Act 2021 to introduce a social media minimum age. We’re drawing on our existing age assurance processes to make this as smooth, private, and secure as possible.

Here's what this means:

If you're under 16: Unfortunately, you won't be able to use an X account until you are 16 or over. If you think we've got this wrong, or if you wish to reinstate your account once you are 16 or over, you can follow the instructions to verify your age within the account lockout notice you received.

If you're 16 or older: You can follow the in-app instructions to verify your age. We'll send in-app reminders — it's fast and we delete the data within 30 days.

Creating a new account: If your date of birth shows you're under 16, creation will be blocked. Otherwise, you'll go through the same quick verification steps.

For more information on the Australian social media minimum age law, including how we're handling the required minimum age checks and your privacy, please visit our Help Center page at https://t.co/ZcXEfSnDor.
