By carefully arranging many nanoblocks to form pixels on a metasurface, researchers have demonstrated that they can manipulate incoming visible light in just the right way to create a color "meta-hologram." The new method of creating holograms has an order of magnitude higher reconstruction efficiency than similar color meta-holograms, and has applications for various types of 3D color holographic displays and achromatic planar lenses.

This startup is making real meatballs in a lab without killing a single animal

The promise of lab-grown meat — made from pieces of lab-grown muscle tissue instead of living animals — has dangled in front of us for decades. Now it's actually happening. A Bay Area-based startup called Memphis Meats has figured out how to make a real meatball in the lab using beef cells, no livestock required.

Robots as good as human surgeons, study finds

Surgery performed by robots is just as successful as operations carried out by surgeons, a major trial has found.

Surgery performed by robots is just as successful as operations carried out by surgeons, a major trial has found. The study of prostate cancer patients found those whose gland was removed by a machine were doing as well after three months as those who went under the knife in the traditional way. They experienced less pain doing day to day activities a week later, and reported better overall physical quality of life after six weeks, but this levelled out over time. Those undergoing robot surgery also lost far less blood and spent less time in hospital. There was no difference in urinary and sexual function, or the number of complications, the research published in the Lancet found. Robotic surgery has become increasingly common in the UK over the last decade. Most common is the da Vinci robot, a set of robotic arms controlled by a human surgeon sitting a few feet away. A high magnification 3D camera allows the surgeon to see inside the patient's  body through a keyhole incision. The camera is attached to one of four arms on the machine - the other three hold other surgical instruments needed during the operation.

Google’s quantum computer just accurately simulated a molecule for the first time

Google's engineers just achieved a milestone in quantum computing: they’ve produced the first completely scalable quantum simulation of a hydrogen molecule.

Researchers working with the Google team were able to accurately simulate the energy of hydrogen H2 molecules, and if we can repeat the trick for other molecules, we could see the benefits in everything from solar cells to medicines. These types of predictions are often impossible for 'classical' computers or take an extremely long time – working out the energy of something like a propane (C3H8) molecule would take a supercomputer in the region of 10 days. To achieve the feat, Google's engineers teamed up with researchers from Harvard University, Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, UC Santa Barbara, Tufts University, and University College London in the UK. "While the energies of molecular hydrogen can be computed classically (albeit inefficiently), as one scales up quantum hardware it becomes possible to simulate even larger chemical systems, including classically intractable ones," writes Google Quantum Software Engineer Ryan Babbush. Chemical reactions are quantum in nature, because they form highly entangled quantum superposition states. In other words, each particle's state can't be described independently of the others, and that causes problems for computers used to dealing in binary values of 1s and 0s. Enter Google's universal quantum computer, which deals in qubits – bits that themselves can be in a state of superposition, representing both 1 and 0 at the same time.
