Phenomenal intro to quantum computing

If you're like me, hearing the phrase "quantum computing" inspires excitement mixed with uncertainty. To lay people, it sounds fascinatingly futuristic - like something out of an H.G. Wells novel or the latest sci-fi movie. And yet, it's already becoming a reality. If you're interested in ...

Anyone familiar with the DACFP?

I'd like to learn more about digital assets, but I'm not sure where to go. I know I could browse YouTube and probably find more content than I know what to do with. But to be honest, I'm not always sure about YouTube videos. It's so easy to post things whether you know what you're talking about or n...

What the Netherlands is doing for life on land...

It's been estimated that up to $577 billion in annual global crops are at risk if bees and other pollinators continue dying off.

Underwater farming?

I've heard about the promise of aquaponics, but I'd never seen anything taken to this level before . Nemo's Garden is an agricultural project that's dedicated to growing traditional crops under the water.

The promise of solar power

You have to watch this video: https://youtu.be/62ASvupr8Zg It's a fascinating look at what would happen if we covered the entire Sahara Desert with solar panels.
