The fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect (FQAHE) offers a promising path toward universal topological quantum computation by hosting non-Abelian Fibonacci anyonic parafermions. Recent breakthroughs in twisted bilayer MoTe₂ and rhombohedral multilayer graphene/hBN moiré superlattices have demonstrated fractionally quantized states, paving the way for high-filling fractions and fractional topological superconductivity, both of which are potential foundations for parafermions. Challenges remain in generalizing the required exotic states and integrating superconductivity, but FQAHE could be a key solution to the universality of topological quantum computation.

SUTD researchers have developed a new class of algorithms that enable low-latency, real-time computing and data transmission in large-scale satellite networks, which could lead to smarter, faster global connectivity.

That fit people have a reduced risk of premature death from various diseases is a recurring result in many studies. New research from Uppsala University shows that people with high fitness levels in their late teens also have a reduced risk of dying from random accidents. This suggests that the associations seen in previous studies have probably been misleading.
