Antiparallel Quantum States Reveal New Measurement Advantages Scientists have discovered a surprising quantum phenomenon showing that particles prepared in opposite states can sometimes provide more information than identical particles. The finding could improve the development of quantum technologies, including device testing and quantum cryptography. The study, published in Physical Review Letters, explores how quantum systems behave when scientists attempt to measure several properties at the same time. Researchers found that antiparallel quantum states can unlock capabilities that remain impossible when particles are prepared in matching states. Quantum Limits Shape Measurements Quantum physics places strict limits on what scientists can measure…
Nvidia H200 China Sales Remain Stalled Despite US Approval Nvidia has secured approval from the United States to sell its H200 artificial intelligence chips to around 10 Chinese companies. However, no deliveries have taken place so far, leaving major technology deals frozen as chief executive Jensen Huang seeks progress during a visit to Beijing.

China Boosts Youth Science Fund for 2026 Research Expansion China will significantly increase support for young scientists in 2026 by expanding funding for youth-focused basic research projects by more than 50 percent, according to the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The planned expansion will add around 12,000 projects to the country’s Youth Science Fund programme, marking a major increase compared with the previous year. Officials said the initiative is intended to strengthen support for emerging researchers while ensuring a steady pipeline of talent for China’s long-term scientific development. Funding Increase Targets Young Researchers The Youth Science Fund supports early-career…
AI Rally Powers Global Markets Despite Trade and Iran Risks Global markets continued their AI-driven rally on Thursday as investors brushed aside concerns over stubborn inflation, elevated oil prices and uncertainty surrounding the Iran conflict. Technology stocks once again led gains across Asia, with chipmakers and artificial intelligence firms extending a record-setting surge that has dominated markets in recent months. Investors appeared willing to overlook the possibility of higher interest rates for longer, even as oil prices stayed above $100 a barrel and geopolitical tensions remained unresolved. At the centre of attention was the summit between U.S. President Donald Trump…

European Central Bank board member Frank Elderson has urged euro area banks to prepare rapidly for cyber attacks powered by advanced artificial intelligence tools such as Anthropic’s Mythos AI model. Elderson, who also serves as Vice Chair of the ECB’s bank supervision arm, issued the warning during an interview published by the ECB on Wednesday. He stressed that banks should not delay preparations simply because they do not yet have access to the technology. ECB Raises Alarm Over AI Cyber Risks Elderson said euro area banks currently do not have access to Mythos. However, he warned that the lack of…
