- 1IBM quantum computer completes task in 19 seconds▼IBM's Quantum Computer Completes in 19 Seconds What Could Take a Supercomputer a Century
IBM says one of its quantum computers finished a calculation in 19 seconds that it estimates would take a conventional supercomputer around a century to complete. The claim, reported by ScienceAlert, is being circulated as a striking illustration of quantum advantage, though independent verification of the benchmark and how it was measured has not yet been established.
- 2Report: Alberta failed Cargill workers during COVID-19 outbreak●Alberta ‘failed’ Cargill workers amid COVID-19 outbreak with inaction, overconfidence: report
A new report concludes the Alberta government failed workers at the Cargill meat-processing plant, saying inaction and overconfidence worsened the COVID-19 outbreak there. The plant became one of North America's largest workplace coronavirus clusters, with hundreds of employees infected. The findings renew criticism of provincial oversight of workplace safety during the pandemic and calls for accountability.

Grovetown police in Georgia have arrested multiple suspected child predators following an undercover internet sting operation. The department announced the arrests as part of ongoing efforts to target adults seeking to exploit children online. Details about the number of suspects and charges have not yet been released, and the operation is drawing attention across the region.
- 4Superconductor found to behave differently when time is reversed▼This superconductor behaves differently when time is reversed
Physicists report a superconductor that does not behave identically when time is run backwards, a break from the usual expectation that superconductivity is unaffected by time reversal. The finding suggests the material hosts an unusual superconducting state, which could point to new physics and have implications for research into topological quantum materials and future quantum technologies.

Meta is launching Muse, a new product whose success may hinge less on its features than on the company's damaged reputation. The central question being debated is whether users and developers will trust an AI offering from Meta, given ongoing criticism over privacy practices, moderation failures and previous AI missteps.
