Methylene Blue (chemical name methylthioninium chloride) was first synthesized in 1876 by German chemist Heinrich Caro . Originally developed as a textile dye (the first synthetic dye from coal tar), it soon attracted medical interest. In 1891, Paul Ehrlich and Paul Guttmann pioneered its use against malaria, successfully curing two patients with Methylene Blue ….
Microsoft has unveiled its latest innovation: the Majorana 1, a quantum chip powered by something called a Topological Core. Unlike traditional quantum chips, this one uses an entirely new class of materials known as topoconductors. Think of topoconductors as Superconductors 2.0—they behave like superconductors but come with built-in quantum stability. But what makes them truly…
For decades, the dream of supersonic passenger travel has fascinated the world. From the Concorde’s first commercial flight in 1976 to its retirement in 2003, the promise of cutting transatlantic travel times in half captured imaginations but remained out of reach for most.
