The latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android allows users to upload videos that are up to 60 seconds in length, doubling the previous
The latest usage stats provided by Twitter (now known as X) have raised several questions due to the contradicting data points presented. While the platform claims to have 250 million daily active users, this number has not shown any growth in the past 16 months. Additionally, there seems to be discrepancies with the reported figures
Instagram is pushing the boundaries of its Reels feature by testing longer video uploads. Users are now being prompted to upload 3-minute long Reels, a significant increase from the previous 90-second limit. This move comes after Instagram had been experimenting with 10-minute uploads behind the scenes. While longer videos have been a trend on platforms
The traveling salesman problem has long been a challenge for conventional computers due to its complexity as the number of cities increases. However, a recent study led by Prof. Dr. Jens Eisert of Freie Universität Berlin and HZB has shed light on how quantum computers could offer a faster and more efficient solution to this
Quantum computing has long been seen as the future of technology, offering the potential to revolutionize data processing and computational power. However, one of the biggest challenges in quantum systems has been the presence of noise, which can disrupt the functionality of quantum computers. Traditionally, scientists have sought to eliminate noise from quantum systems. However,
The world of projection mapping has seen significant advancements in recent years, allowing for mesmerizing displays that transform ordinary objects into interactive canvases. However, a common limitation that has plagued existing systems is their reliance on darkness to achieve optimal results. The need for darkness stems from the fact that any surrounding illumination not only

Tantalum, one of the rarest elements, is known for having multiple stable isotopes. Among these isotopes, Ta-180 stands out as the least abundant and is found naturally in a long-lived excited state, a characteristic that sets it apart from other elements. Despite being energetically possible, the radioactive decay of the excited state in Ta-180m has
Traditional construction materials and the production processes associated with them have a significant impact on the environment due to the emission of carbon dioxide. However, a recent breakthrough in the field of composite decking materials offers a ray of hope. Scientists have developed a composite material that not only stores carbon dioxide but is actually
