A couple reflections on the quantum computing breakthrough we just announced...
Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed.
After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing.
It powers Majorana 1, the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core.
We believe this breakthrough will allow us to create a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years.
The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller.
They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor.
Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not!
Sometimes researchers have to work on things for decades to make progress possible.
It takes patience and persistence to have big impact in the world.
And I am glad we get the opportunity to do just that at Microsoft.
This is our focus: When productivity rises, economies grow faster, benefiting every sector and every corner of the globe.
It’s not about hyping tech; it’s about building technology that truly serves the world.
Allosteric modulation of ataxin-3 aggregation and potential therapeutic strategies for Machado-Joseph disease. The power of teamwork to tackle complex biological questions!

There is a new tool on BioIcons to turn any protein (in PDB format) into a 2D vector illustration in SVG format. You can upload any PDB file or import from PDB, AlphaFoldDB or ESMFoldDB. Feedback welcome :)

@IGCcentrioles Followed IGC since 1996 and your tenure as IGC director. Congratulations and thank you. Hope the legacy in fundamental science can survive....
Can’t share the details yet, but there will be a postdoc position in my team @i3S_UPorto (2.5 years, possibly extendable) to work on M tuberculosis fatty acid metabolism. If someone’s interested please DM me. Stay tuned!

Nós cientistas também temos de trabalhar mais nesta mensagem junto do público geral. A divulgação em ciência é feita muito mais sobre as aplicações do que sobre a própria ciência e o seu processo.
Um artigo publicado hoje @Publico chama a atenção para + este exemplo de vistas curtas @ciencia_pt@fct_pt
Não há ciência fundamental e ciência aplicada: há Ciência e as suas aplicações. Sem Ciência, não haverá nada para "aplicar". Assinem e partilhem, pf
