From AI-powered micro-cameras monitoring the world’s oceans to the graduation of quantum computers from the lab into the real world, here’s a summary of these game-changing breakthroughs.

AI-powered robot microscopes will help clean up the world’s water supplies

Water shortage is a problem that could affect up to a quarter of the world’s population by 2025. The behavior of microscopic plankton can give vital clues on everything from chemical pollution levels to temperature change.

Autonomous, robotic cameras developed by IBM and powered by AIhave the potential to monitor this behavior in more detail than has been possible before. Data from the cameras can be analyzed to give real-time insights into factors affecting water quality and life in our lakes and oceans.

Scientists Want to Use Lasers to Guide Aliens to Earth. What Could Go Wrong??

Posted by Philip,Abuja We could build a laser that could send signals to extraterrestrial intelligence. Not we as in the staff of Live Science. (That's probably beyond our skill set.) But we as in humanity. A new paper published yesterday (Nov. 5) in The Astrophysical Journal has found that humanity could feasibly build an infrared laser hot and bright enough that — if we shined it directly at nearby exoplanets — alien astronomers should be able to detect it using sky-watching technology not too much more advanced than our own. (Presuming they're out there, of course.) [ 9 Strange, Scientific Excuses for Why We Haven't Found Alien Life Yet ] It would have to be pretty huge, but not unthinkably so : One possible design the researchers proposed would require a 1 to 2 megawatt laser and at least a 100-foot (30 meter)
