Scientists Achieve Milestone in Teleportation

teleport1

Scientists at the University of Michigan have been able to transport information from one atom to another, across a distance of one meter.

While no one really understands how quantum mechanics works, small steps are being made in the field.

This recent development wont have you hopping from New York, to London and then Sidney just in time for lunch, however it may one day be useful in the computing field and affect data processing speeds.

Quick Reminder: News Coverage

With the war on Gaza raging on, many of us watch the news and read newspapers. In such times, it is even more important to diversify the news sources. This ensures that we get a clearer and more honest picture of what is happening around the world. Watching only the BBC for example, won't help get an honest picture. Watching only Al Jazeera, won't either. But watching a combination of the BBC, Al Jazeera, Euronews, CNN etc.. will give you a clearer picture and help you analyse events more easily.

One easy and free way to watch lives news feeds from around the world is Livestation, a free player, compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux, that allows you to watch live TV feeds.

The feeds either come from the partners of Livestation such as BBC, France24, Bloomberg, Euronews and Al Jazeera (very good quality) English or from other users (varying quality).

Diversifying our news sources is the only way we can ensure, that massive corporations and powerful lobbies, which own many mainstream news platforms, do not mislead us and shape our views to suit their agendas.

Download Livestation free here.

I previously posted about Livestation and posted some screen shots.
