Re: official science and technology thread
Not sure which is the bigger advancement - Microsoft announcing a new quantum chip or Microsoft creating a new state of matter to do so:
"Harnessing a new type of material: All of today’s announcements build on our team’s recent breakthrough: the world’s first topoconductor. This revolutionary class of materials enables us to create topological superconductivity, a new state of matter that previously existed only in theory. The advance stems from Microsoft’s innovations in the design and fabrication of gate-defined devices that combine indium arsenide (a semiconductor) and aluminum (a superconductor). When cooled to near absolute zero and tuned with magnetic fields, these devices form topological superconducting nanowires with Majorana Zero Modes (MZMs) at the wires’ ends."

Peptides from abnormal RNA processing in cancer offer an immunotherapy target
Tumour cells often have problems processing messenger RNA. The finding that these splicing errors result in commonly expressed peptides that are recognized by immune cells offers a target for cancer treatments.

'We're on the moon!' Private Blue Ghost moon lander aces historic lunar landing for NASA
Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost moon lander just etched its name into the history books.
Blue Ghost aced its touchdown try early this morning (March 2), becoming just the second private spacecraft ever to soft-land on the moon. The lander hauled 10 science experiments to the lunar surface for NASA, which was understandably happy with today's result. The first photos from the probe showed Earth shining overhead.
"We're on the moon!" Nicky Fox, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, said during the landing webcast. "I'm sorry — I'm just so excited right now."

Amazing we were able to put a man on the moon with a computer less powerful than a digital watch.
