Researchers at Delft University of Technology have demonstrated for the first time that two-qubit logic gates can be performed on mobile electron spins traveling across a silicon chip — a breakthrough published in Nature on May 6, 2026, that could reshape the roadmap toward large-scale quantum processors. The team, led by Lieven Vandersypen......
Health authorities in at least three American states are monitoring residents who were aboard the MV Hondius, the Dutch expedition cruise ship at the center of a deadly hantavirus outbreak that has killed three passengers and left several others seriously ill during an Atlantic crossing. None of the individuals under surveillance are showing......
Spain has agreed to receive the MV Hondius, a luxury expedition cruise ship struck by a fatal hantavirus outbreak, at the port of Granadilla in southern Tenerife, from where all passengers and crew will be repatriated to their home countries. Spanish Health Minister Mónica García announced Wednesday that everyone remaining on......
An international consortium of more than 60 researchers has identified 1,785 previously unknown microproteins embedded in segments of human DNA long assumed to be functionally inert. The discovery, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, could expand the known human proteome by nearly 10 percent, representing one of the most significant......
A hantavirus outbreak aboard the cruise ship MV Hondius has been identified as the Andes strain, the only known hantavirus capable of spreading from person to person, as the Dutch-flagged vessel sailed from Cape Verde toward Spain's Canary Islands on Wednesday amid a growing international health response.

Titled Relics, the exhibition features nine sculptures created from authentic prehistoric fossils, blending scientific heritage with contemporary artistic......
Two researchers from the Netherlands have outlined an ambitious geoengineering concept that would involve building a massive dam across the Bering Strait to prevent the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a key system of ocean currents that regulates global climate. The strait, which spans roughly 80 kilometers between......
China’s national artificial intelligence computing capacity has reached 1,882 exaflops, according to figures released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The number is more than 6,000 times higher than the country’s reported performance in global supercomputing rankings, pointing to a vast pool of computing......
The Netherlands is preparing to activate the initial phase of its national energy crisis plan, marking a precautionary step in response to ongoing pressures in fuel and energy markets.
