the first step towards quantum computer

Australian scientists at the university of wisconsin- Medison unveiled the worlds smallest electronic swichof the seven atom transistor measuring four-billionth of a metre and embeded in a single silicon crystal which will bedded in a single silicon crystal which will shrink microchips and revolutionize computing speeds. It is the first step in quantum computer which will make calculations millions of times faster than existing devices . Thetransistor was created by manipulating atams using a special microscope.The breakthrough promises to reduce the size of microchips ,which contain billions of transistor,by up to 100 times

Homo gautengensis

scientst claim to have discovered a new branch of the human family tree - a species that was light, short, and found of chewy plonts.An international team, lead by the university of new south Wales in Australia has identified and named the species Homo gautengensis. which is said to be the earliest recogniged species of homo. the identiication is based on a partial skull -known only by its museum catalogue no stw53 - along with two other partial skulls, sevaral jaws, teeth and other bones found at varias times at sterkfontein and other nearby caves
