In a new distance record, researchers have sent a photon, entangled with an ion, down a 50-km (31-mi) long optical fiber.

Scientists from Austria and China throw Schrodinger's Cat for a loop.

Quantum encryption can make data breaches literally impossible, and in a new demonstration of that kind of security, scientists have now used the Chinese satellite Micius to send quantum-encrypted data between China and Austria. That brings the world another step closer to a global quantum internet.

A team at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences has succeeded in growing miniature human brains in a lab. While no one is suggesting that they could be swapped in for a patient’s existing brain, they could prove to be a boon to the field of medical research.
