A group of physicists at Harvard University developed the longest quantum communications network, 22 miles between nodes (35,405.6 meters), hacker-proof.

Scientists believe they have “built what they believe is the world’s longest secure quantum communications network, using 22 miles of existing fiber optic cables.”

The experiment is based on connecting “two functional quantum computer nodes to each other through a strange physical phenomenon called entanglement.”

With this procedure, the physicists managed to share data throughout the 22 miles of distance in a paradigm that, according to the laws of physics, is impossible to hack.

The invention will be very useful for anyone who may be the victim of an attack or security breach on what is known as Q-Day, “a hypothetical point in the near future when malicious actors will have access to quantum computers powerful enough to destroy current encryption methods.”

Currently, this is one of the reasons that drives companies, banks, military installations and the health industry to seek stronger security protocols to protect their data.

Faced with the possibility of unwanted interception of data during transmission, no matter how well the information is encrypted, quantum computers and quantum networks become the most suitable option.

Quantum mechanics makes the teleportation of data possible, preventing it from being copied. The information must be intertwined at both points. “This is achieved by using diamonds with a specific type of defect in their hearts that allows scientists to exploit empty space to entangle quantum information.”

In 2004, Mark Zuckerberg and a group of colleagues at Harvard University broke new ground in the digital age with the launch of the social network Facebook. Twenty years have passed since that event.

Ups and downs, demands, questions and praise have accompanied Facebook in recent years. Regulations regarding private data have led to greater control by the parent company, Meta.

The number of users continues to increase, given the friendliness of the social network and its global reach, allowing connection between millions of people as well as the possibility of sharing videos and images.

The privacy terms and conditions, however, are currently a cause of distrust among users. Added to this is the considerable increase in the use of advertising, which has bothered thousands of people, even causing them to close their accounts on the platform.

In any case, Facebook remains at the top of the most used, followed by Instagram and TikTok.

Harvard University has revealed in recent publications surprising data on the technique to reverse aging in humans.

The Harvard researchers have been joined by others from MIT in the study of cells and human aging. It is not a secret that for years many have searched for the fountain of youth or, more frequently, the way to slow down aging.

The Harvard scientists, led by Professor David Sinclair, speak of “six aging-reversing treatments that worked in mice. Now, they plan to start clinical trials with people.”

The researchers noted: “We identified six chemical cocktails that, in less than a week and without compromising cell identity, restore a juvenile genome-wide transcript profile and reverse transcriptomic age.”

They have concluded that age reversal rejuvenation can be achieved through both genetic and chemical pathways.

The Harvard-MIT team looked at molecules that have the ability to “reprogram animal cells into pluripotent stem cells. They can transform into any type of cell within an organism.”

What the researchers describe is known as regenerative medicine that analyzes cells, tissues, reactions. The chemical cocktails have been tested with good results in mice and will soon be tested in humans.

Only by adapting and controlling new technologies will countries be able to overcome the obstacles that impede their growth. This was stated by the economist and professor at the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, Ricardo Hausmann, during his speech at the forum “Towards the Venezuelan economic miracle”, organized by the Venezuelan Observatory of Finance.

Hausmann confirmed that all opportunities go through knowing how to do things and include achieving the adaptation of new technologies in people. He affirmed that this is a fundamental part to be considered when thinking about a transition, progress and development in Venezuela.

Investments in the oil sector

He stressed that by 2030, gasoline and diesel vehicles will decrease worldwide, since through electricity generation, policies for decarbonization will continue to be promoted in the world. In the Venezuelan case, there is oil wealth in the subsoil, but its production requires investments between $ 5,000 and $ 10,000 million.

Hausmann insisted on the need to focus on promoting a green energy matrix, indicating that green products will be made from renewable goods.

Tourist activity and teleworking

On the other hand, he underlined the potential that Venezuela has from the point of view of tourism, both due to its geographical location and its natural beauties. However, he warned that due to insecurity problems, he cannot have high expectations regarding a sustainable development of this activity.

Regarding teleworking, he pointed out that it emerged as an alternative during the pandemic and that it will continue to grow, generating a reform in production conditions, since many Venezuelans are selling their services over the Internet.

Development of the primary sector

He made special emphasis on the Venezuelan primary sector, referring to the large extensions of fertile lands that exist throughout the territory. According to Hausmann, it is necessary to boost its development with new technologies. He recalled that at the moment there are modified seeds from different areas such as corn and soybeans; products that would be converted – among other uses – into raw materials for the production of animal feed, such as pigs and chickens.

In the professor’s opinion, with international help, Venezuela could emerge from the crisis in a period of 3 to 5 years.
