New quantum computation method capable of solving an enormous amount of problems
A new improvement to quantum computation methods has expanded the range of solutions that can be verified by quantum computers to include an enormous number of new problems, including those that can never be verified by classical computers. While the study is still in peer review, researchers agree with the robustness of its methodology and expect it to survive more thorough testing.

For The First Time, Physicists Have Controlled The Interaction of Time Crystals
The existence of time crystals - a particularly fascinating state of matter - was only confirmed a few short years ago, but physicists have already made a pretty major breakthrough: they have induced and observed an interaction between two time crystals.

Scientists discover a mysterious ancient human population
A research technique pioneered by scientists at UCLA has used computer modeling techniques on modern human DNA to discover a mysterious ancient human population that, much like the Neanderthals and Denisovans, is thought to have interbred with modern humans before dying out, with anywhere from 2 to 19 percent of DNA in modern West Africans belonging to this mysterious and unnamed hominin ancestor.

Groundbreaking experiment cools particle to the quantum limit
An experiment designed by Markus Aspelmeyer and his team of researchers at the University of Vienna has successfully cooled a nanoparticle to the quantum cooling limit, reaching the particle's ground state at a minimum temperature of twelve millionths of a Kelvin, through the precise use of an array of lasers to levitate the particle in a specially constructed cavity.

Major events not necessary to explain oxygen-rich Earth, study finds
Scientists at the University of Leeds in England simulated the early Earth's atmosphere on a computer, in an attempt to explain the Great Oxidation Event, which occurred 2.4 billion years ago and greatly increased oxygen levels on Earth, and ultimately allowed for life to evolve. The simulation suggests that gradual changes in nutrient cycles alone may have been responsible for the oxygen-richness, not necessarily a large event.
