Quantum Battery Breakthrough Points to a New Era of Energy Storage
Fez– A team of Australian scientists has developed a small-scale quantum battery capable of charging, storing, and releasing energy without relying on traditional chemical reactions. The prototype, led by Australia’s national science agency in collaboration with researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and the University of Melbourne, introduces a fundamentally different approach to energy storage. Instead of chemistry, the device operates using principles of quantum physic...

Scientists say turtle shells could hold clues to secret side of Neanderthal behavior
Cavemen hunted turtles — but not for food, new research suggests.Scientists say that shells of reptiles caught by children may have been used as ladles or digging devices by early humans over 100,000 years ago. Careful cleaning of fragments found at the Neumark-Nord archaeological site in Germany indicates that pond turtle shells were used as small containers or scoop-like implements, news agency SWNS reported.SCIENTISTS SHATTER TIMELINE OF HUMAN FIRE-MAKING WITH 400,000-YEAR-OLD DISCOVERY IN EN...
